ERP Cloud Implementation & Integration

Vendor evaluation is complete and a recommendation is on the table: Zava Trading scored 8/10 (€14,500 one-time + €7,150/month, 99.9% standard SLA), ahead of Contoso Supplies Ltd at 7/10 and Fabrikam Manufacturing at 6/10. The brief itself is marked "Complete", but compliance is only Partial — the RFP is compliant while the SOW template is still missing, and no EcoVadis or CreditSafe ratings were found for the vendors.

Owner: Corey Gray (with Executive Sponsor / Procurement Team)
Open next steps: budget approval, legal review, contract generation
Blocker: SOW template upload and vendor compliance ratings

S2P Agent & AI Governance (ZAG)

A status update on the S2P agent has been outstanding since Adil Eli asked "What is the status of S2P agent?" on 22 April 2026 and is still logged as awaiting reply. Jira governance tickets ZAG-1 through ZAG-5 are assigned to Corey Gray, with ZAG-5 ("Draft compliance criteria for agent behavior") reported overdue, and ZAG-6 ("Set Up Agent Registration & Verification") is still unassigned in the ZAVA AI Governance space.

Owner: Corey Gray · Requester: Adil Eli

Integration & Connector Health

Two Copilot data connectors are broken and unremediated: ServiceNowTickets2607141032 (flagged 21 August 2026, carried as a compliance risk) and Jira2606051042 (flagged 12 August 2026, carried as a data-integrity risk). On the automation side, the "Cowork Plan Approval" flow has failed repeatedly and one flow — "When agent is added or updated" — was disabled by the platform after consistent failures.

Owner: Corey Gray (remediation) · Raised by: M365 / Power Automate system alerts
Blocker: Connector authentication / permissions not yet reviewed

Sources: Daily Task Digest, 4 September 2026 (items 3, 4, 7); emails "Your Copilot connection ServiceNowTickets2607141032 needs immediate attention", "Alert! We've disabled one of your flows", "1 of your flow(s) have failed".

Absolute Technology R400 Infrastructure

The Planner task "Communication Error Communication" in the plan "Absolute Technology R400 Infrastructure" was due 18 August 2026 and was reported 7 days late as of 25 August 2026. The digest still lists its current status as unverified. The team's General channel holds no posted discussion — only the system message from when the team was created on 23 February 2026 — so there is no conversational status to draw on.

Owner: Corey Gray (task assignee)
Blocker: Overdue Planner item; no channel activity to confirm progress

Sources: email "You have late tasks" (25 August 2026); Daily Task Digest, 6 September 2026 (verification section); Teams — Absolute Technology R400 Infrastructure > General.

No signal

FCS Application Upgrade

The FCS Application Upgrade team exists (created 23 February 2026, four members) but its General channel contains no posted messages, and no email, chat or document in the searched sources reports status, owners or milestones for it. Nothing here is a judgement on the workstream — it is an evidence gap.

Owner: Not identified in available sources
Action: Request a written status from the workstream lead

Source: Teams — FCS Application Upgrade > General (system event only).

AI Agent Central (Governance CoE)

The deployment platform is documented — a Power Platform environment with Dataverse, a System Administrator role, and a Teams CoE structure — and the AI Agent Central v3 release is live with an employee AI Hub and Microsoft Agent 365 integration. The five readiness pillars (Business & AI Strategy, Technology & Data, Organizational Readiness, Security & Governance) exist as templates, which suggests assessment work is drafted rather than closed out.

Contributors: Corey Gray, Bojan Buhac, Sandee Hjorth
Watch: Pillar templates not yet evidenced as completed assessments

External signals — vendor roadmaps & market context

Azure OpenAI Assistants API retired 26 August 2026

Microsoft's guidance is that applications relying on the Assistants API had to be migrated before 26 August 2026, after which it is no longer available; the supported replacements are the Microsoft Foundry Agent Service and the OpenAI Responses API. Foundry Agent Service (classic) carries its own, later retirement date. Programme relevance: directly affects any S2P or AI Agent Central workload built on the older surface.

Atlassian usage-based pricing — announced 1 September 2026, effective 3 December 2026

Atlassian is expanding usage-based pricing across more cloud products, with actual usage of AI capabilities, automation and Bitbucket features priced from 3 December 2026; the vendor frames it as added visibility and control over spend. Programme relevance: the ZAG governance backlog runs in Jira, so automation and AI usage in that workflow becomes a budget line.

ServiceNow opens its platform to third-party AI agents (Knowledge 2026)

At Knowledge 2026 ServiceNow announced Action Fabric, opening the ServiceNow AI Platform and its system of action to any AI agent regardless of where it was built, alongside AI Control Tower and related governance capability. Programme relevance: shapes how the ServiceNow connector and future agent integrations should be architected once remediated.

SAP 2026 cloud roadmap — phased releases

SAP's 2026 technology roadmap signals an accelerated shift to cloud, with product releases organised into phases across the year; SAP publishes release timing through Road Map Explorer and the S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition release pages. Programme relevance: the ERP procurement draws historical data from ARIBA/SAP, so SAP release phasing is a scheduling input for the integration workstream.

Databricks account activated, 3 September 2026

A Databricks account was activated for this tenant on 3 September 2026. It is not yet referenced in any programme status, plan or risk item. Programme relevance: a new data platform dependency that should be brought into scope and governance explicitly rather than adopted informally.

Evidence gaps

Three things this dashboard could not establish from the available sources, and should not be read as green:
  • No meeting transcripts were available. A transcript search across 1 January – 7 September 2026 returned none, and no calendar events were found between 24 August and 10 October 2026, so no meeting-derived decisions or actions are reflected here.
  • Programme Teams channels are silent. The General channels for Absolute Technology R400 Infrastructure and FCS Application Upgrade contain only team-creation system events; the AI Agent Central Discussion channel holds four system events and no substantive posts.
  • Status for FCS Application Upgrade is entirely absent — no owner, milestone or blocker could be sourced.
