This week, Dave, Esmee, and Rob are joined by Richard Harmon, VP & Global Head of Financial Services at Red Hat to explore how Open Source is shaping AI, from mainframes to Kubernetes, and from regulation and sovereignty to a future of AI agents writing code.

'Realities Remixed' is an original podcast from Capgemini

The SaaSpocalypse marks the end of traditional CRM with manual data entry, rigid interfaces, and seat‑based software no longer make sense in an AI‑driven world. Success now depends on outcome‑focused plumbing: intelligent orchestration that delivers results, not screens.

This week, Dave, Esmee, and Rob are joined by Hannah Datz, Americas Vice President of CRM at ServiceNow, to unpack the major announcements from ServiceNow Knowledge 2026 in Las Vegas and explore how AI is accelerating the SaaSpocalypse and driving a fundamental shift in the future of CRM.

'Realities Remixed' is an original podcast from Capgemini

AI is only as strong as the data beneath it, and as it moves into the core of the enterprise, fragmented, duplicated, and poorly governed data is no longer hidden in the background, it’s amplified, exposed, and impossible to ignore.

This week, Dave, Esmee, and Rob are joined by Edward Calvesbert, VP Product Management for IBM watsonx AI & Data Platform, to dig into the foundations of enterprise AI, from data silos and the SaaSpocalypse to lakehouse architectures and agent‑driven workflows.
