Florian Schouten shared thisExciting to see the progress at ThoughtSpot at empowering data teams to drive business impact!Florian Schouten shared thisThere is no BI without AI but there is no AI without Data. Every organization now wants to be “AI-driven.” But none of it works without a solid data foundation—and that foundation is being built by your data team. Data teams are becoming the backbone of AI-driven businesses. They are no longer tasked with creating charts—they’re delivering strategic insights. Instead of building one-off dashboards, they’re coaching AI and making sure their models are ready to deliver AI-powered insights to their business teams. Whether they’re ready or not, their role is transforming from a data analyst to a business catalyst. Analysts need a unified, flexible space where they can move fast, go deep, and deliver insights that scale. That is why at ThoughtSpot we built the collaborative creator space for them - Analyst Studio. It's all the power tools in one place that not only helps them get data ready for AI fast but also gives them the canvas to do strategic, advanced analysis- and deliver insights that the business can instantly self-serve. ✅ Integrated IDE with SQL with AI code generation, Visual exploration (Drag and Drop) , Data profiling, and even Python—all in one place making ad-hoc analysis and data modeling seamless. ✅ Whether your data lives in files, raw JSON, or APIs, analysts can quickly clean, mashup across sources, and prep and share it with business users in record time. ✅ Advanced analytics and modeling are reserved for central data science teams. But with Analyst Studio’s Notebooking tools, anyone can enrich data with Python or R—building forecasts, churn models, or sentiment scoring right where the data lives. ✅ High performance, in-memory caching of queries, file content or Notebook results. With deep integrations to Snowflake Google Cloud, Databricks, Amazon Web Services (AWS) & Microsoft Azure getting started is easy Get from data to decisions faster—together.

Florian Schouten liked thisFlorian Schouten liked thisI've spent the last two decades helping analytics companies change how the market sees them, and I think most PMMs are underusing the one lever that does it best. This year, ThoughtSpot was recognized as a Leader in the Gartner Magic Quadrant for Analytics and BI Platforms for the third year in a row, which made me reflect on the full arc. Before ThoughtSpot, I was at a bootstrapped Australian analytics vendor in what is arguably one of the most competitive software categories worldwide. Yellowfin was positioned as Niche when I began leading AR there. Instead of competing directly, we identified a gap: establishing Data Storytelling as its own category (and achieved a perfect Critical Capabilities score for two consecutive years—I dare say we changed the criteria). Yellowfin moved from Niche to Visionary in one of the biggest shifts in the report that year, and maintained that position for three years. At ThoughtSpot, the challenge was different: not just re-entering the Leaders quadrant, but earning it as a pioneer in two distinct eras: natural language search and agentic analytics. Different companies, different stages, but one lesson: you don't change market perception with messaging alone. You change it by connecting product reality, customer outcomes, strategy, and analyst relationships into a story that holds. That's why I think AR is one of the most underrated places for PMMs to do their best work. Most PMM work gets graded internally: a deck gets approved, a product launch ships, sales says "the talk track landed." AR is different. Once or twice a year, the market grades your work publicly, on a schedule you don't control, against competitors you didn't choose. Against the roadmap. Against customer proof. Against where the category is actually moving. At its best, AR is market strategy in its purest form: deciding what white space is worth owning, then proving in public that the bet was right. That's the work I love. Even when I complain about it. Every December to March, MQ season takes over my brain (and maybe, my life). I lose sleep. I obsess over the narrative. I rewrite words and edit product clips again and again. I complain the whole way through. My CEO, Ketan Karkhanis, sees straight through it: "You love it." He's right. The work behind the RFI, the year-long briefings, the relationships—that's where the real strategy lives. The dot is just what everyone sees. I'm proud to have worked across Niche, Visionary, and Leader. Even more proud to have helped two companies move quadrants. And super grateful to the product teams, analysts, and experts who helped make those stories real. If you're a PMM who feels boxed into decks and enablement kits—who knows you're capable of more—I'd point you toward AR. It's not glamorous. But if you want to find out whether your instincts about the market are actually right, there's no better test.

Florian Schouten liked thisFlorian Schouten liked thisI'm honored to step into the role of General Manager and Chief Product Officer for SAP SuccessFactors. Throughout my career, I've had the opportunity to work alongside talented teams and engage closely with customers as they navigate change, develop their people, and adapt to new ways of working. Those experiences have reinforced the importance of listening, learning, and staying focused on the outcomes that matter most. As #SuccessFactors enters its next chapter, our commitment remains unchanged: helping organizations create great experiences for their people. I'm grateful to Dan Beck for his leadership and partnership, and for the strong foundation he helped build for our customers, partners, and teams around the world. This is also an exciting time for #SAP. As we organize around the #AutonomousEnterprise vision, SuccessFactors has an important role to play in advancing Autonomous HCM by helping organizations connect people, skills, data, and business processes more effectively. Bringing together #AI, #data, and applications creates new opportunities to simplify work, support better decisions, and deliver more connected workforce experiences. As we move forward, our priorities remain clear: listen to customers, invest in our people, and continue building solutions that help organizations unlock the full potential of their workforce. Thank you to our colleagues, customers, partners, and the teams whose dedication and expertise make everything we achieve possible. I'm looking forward to what we'll accomplish together.

Florian Schouten liked thisFlorian Schouten liked this85% of enterprise ML projects die before they ever ship. The reason usually isn't the model. It's that teams pick the wrong problem to solve. In her new Unite.AI piece, Kelly Lu Murray, Senior Staff Outbound Product Manager at Pyramid Analytics from ServiceNow, breaks down the four questions that separate ML pilots that stall from the ones that make it to production: 🔹 What are the stakes? 🔹 Do you have the right data? 🔹 What does success actually look like? 🔹 Where does this fit in your real business process? Her bigger point: agentic AI gets the headlines, but machine learning is what tells those agents what to do next. Get the ML foundation right, and agentic AI finally has something solid to stand on. 📄 Full article linked in the comments. #MachineLearning #AgenticAI #EnterpriseAI #BusinessIntelligence

Florian Schouten liked thisFlorian Schouten liked thisLast month, I wrapped up a combined 6 years at ThoughtSpot and Mode. It was a hugely meaningful time in my career, and I couldn't be more grateful for the people I met, the lessons I learned, and the experiences I gained. There are too many people to thank so I'll save that for the texts and messages...figured I'd share the personal side of things from the past month, which is more fun anyway! This chapter started pre-covid and pre-kids, which feels like a total lifetime ago. Before I started at Mode (January 2020 😬 ) I spent my time off on a solo trip to Costa Rica. This time, the pre-new-job-break looked just a little bit different: taking the kids to Cornell University, organizing our apartment, celebrating a big anniversary in Edinburgh with Jeremy Flynn, and generally just thinking about things outside of AI for just a few seconds. And now I'm back at it, feeling refreshed and energized for what's next!

Florian Schouten liked thisFlorian Schouten liked thisBeing named a Visionary in Gartner's Magic Quadrant is meaningful. But it's not the story. The story is the bet we made years ago — over-investing in R&D and re-architecting Pyramid around AI while most of the industry was still bolting it on. Last week, the 2026 Gartner® Magic Quadrant™ for Analytics and Business Intelligence Platforms placed Pyramid Furthest in Vision. To me, that's not just recognition. It's validation of a long-term bet — and a signal that the rest of the industry is starting to see where we've been heading. Thank you to the team that stayed patient through the hard years. And to the customers who trusted us before the analysts caught up. This one is yours. Florian Schouten Brian McCormac Risa P.

Florian Schouten liked thisFlorian Schouten liked thisNineteen years ago this month, Dresner Advisory Services, LLC started as a proof of concept: one person (me), a survey tool, and the internet. That's it. No office, no team, just an idea worth testing. Today, we're stepping into our 20th year of business, and I keep coming back to one word: grateful. In the industry analyst research and advisory business, staying relevant and trusted for this long isn't the norm. It's the exception. Making it this far isn't something we take lightly. To our clients: thank you for trusting us, challenging us, and growing with us. Every interaction has taught us something, and every relationship has made us better at what we do. To our communities: thank you for the support, the introductions, and the sense of belonging and purpose. To our associates, past and present: thank you for the hours, the ideas, the late nights, and the care you've brought to this work. None of this happens without you. You and our clients are my professional family. People who shape how I think, work, and lead. What started as one person testing an idea has become an organization focused on #AI, #data, #analytics, and #performance applications, helping organizations make sense of tools and technologies that are moving faster than ever. That's not something I built. It's something we built, together. Nineteen years in, we're not slowing down. We're just getting warmed up. Here's to the future. I can't wait to build it with you. Thank you for nineteen incredible years! #gratitude #nineteen #research #advisory #analysts
