Enterprise application markets are entering a period of unprecedented disruption. AI is reshaping the economics, architecture, and competitive dynamics of software at a speed traditional vendors can no longer ignore. In the past 12 months, large enterprise application providers have seen share prices decline by roughly 30% as investors increasingly wager on an AI‑driven “SaaSpocolypse” — a potential shift away from conventional SaaS models toward new AI‑native alternatives. At the same time, other forces are accelerating change: rapid advances in AI‑driven development, rising sovereignty requirements driven by geopolitical uncertainty, new market entrants, and accelerating platform consolidation.
In this webinar, a Gartner expert will decode the disruptions that truly matter, assess how the competitive landscape is evolving, and reveal how application providers and their ecosystems can respond — not just to mitigate risk but to accelerate differentiation, relevance, and growth.
Understand the disruptions most likely to reshape enterprise application markets — and how to mitigate associated risks
Analyze how competitive dynamics and partner ecosystems must evolve to remain viable in an AI‑transformed market
Gain insight into shifting customer expectations and what buyers need to confidently scale AI‑enabled investments
Learn strategies to turn disruption into advantage and strengthen your long‑term position as markets transform
