What we're seeing
Enterprise Software Races to Govern and Consolidate Around Agentic AI
Enterprise software vendors are repositioning around autonomous AI agents. Salesforce is acquiring Braze, ServiceNow is launching agent governance tools (AI Passport, Super Intelligence Control Tower), SAP is pushing its 'Autonomous Enterprise', and Zeta is launching AthenaOS and its own inference model. Palantir is embedding itself in banking, aviation and sovereign AI infrastructure through partnerships with Customers Bank, Surf Air, Ondas and Armada. Governance, data sovereignty and enforced policy are emerging as preconditions for regulated sectors like finance. Investors such as Norwest see room to disrupt ERP and finance software, and they caution that AI should not be trusted with financial calculations. Consolidation and shareholder disputes (Salesforce/Braze, Tiny/Oso Cloud, ZenaTech/Boardwalktech) show the market reshaping.

Where sources disagree
ING Group
Both facts record the same metric (shares_outstanding) for ING Group at the identical observation date (2025-12-31). FACT A states 2,902,437,688 shares; FACT B states 2,902 million shares (2,902,000,000). The difference is 437,688 shares (~0.015%). This is a genuine value conflict, though the discrepancy appears to result from FACT B rounding to the nearest million while FACT A provides the precise count.
