Contoso Source-to-Pay (S2P) Agentic Platform, Cloud ERP Procurement & AI Governance
Owner: Corey Gray · Requester: Adil Eli
A status update on the S2P agent has been outstanding since 22 April 2026 — logged as “awaiting your reply” in both Teams and the email digests. Two further deliverables for the same requester (a required update due 25 Jun and a file due 19 Jun) remain overdue. No delivery blocker has been recorded; the blocker is response and sign-off latency.

Owner: Procurement Team (Corey Gray) + Executive Sponsor
The RFP documentation package is complete and distributed. Three complete proposals were received and scored — ERPMax Solutions, IntegraPro Systems and CloudFirst ERP — evaluated on technical capability (40%) plus commercial criteria. Outstanding: stakeholder briefings, budget sign-off and vendor notifications.

Owner: Corey Gray (Jira assignee)
Work items ZAG-1 to ZAG-5 are assigned and active. ZAG-5 (draft compliance criteria for agent behaviour) is overdue; ZAG-4 covers governance scope. ZAG-6 (Agent Registration & Verification) is still unassigned in the ZAVA AI Governance space.

Three concurrent failures: the ServiceNow connector (flagged 21 Aug, compliance risk), the Jira connector (flagged 12 Aug, data-integrity risk), and Power Automate flows — the “When agent is added or updated” flow was auto-disabled on 24 Aug after consistent failure, and the Cowork Plan Approval flow has also failed.

Owner: Roadmap Project Lead + Stakeholder Engagement, Business Analysis and Metrics & Analytics teams
Roadmap workstream is in definition: identifying AI/agentic opportunities across business units, defining milestones and deliverables (matrix for leadership and project teams), establishing metrics/KPI linkage, and a leadership review-and-finalise step.

11 open tasks at the latest reporting point — 5 high, 4 medium, 2 low — and nothing is blocked on other people. Every open item requires action from the programme owner, which is itself the single largest throughput constraint.

Gartner projects that 40% of enterprise applications will embed task-specific AI agents by the end of 2026, up from under 5% at the start of 2025 — a useful benchmark for how aggressively the ERP award should weight agentic capability.

Microsoft published its 2026 release wave 1 plans for Dynamics 365, Power Platform and Copilot Studio (18 March 2026), centred on AI agents and automation — directly relevant to the Power Platform layer currently carrying the failing flows.

Reporting on the ERP agent market describes SAP, Oracle and Microsoft racing to embed autonomous agents into the core ERP layer with materially different architectures — SAP Joule, Oracle Fusion AI Agents and Copilot for Dynamics 365 — which matters for lock-in and integration effort in the RFP scoring.
AgentMarketCap, “The $35B ERP Agent War” (11 April 2026)
agentmarketcap.ai — ERP agent war
Coverage notes SAP merging Joule with Microsoft Copilot and Oracle shipping 22 agent applications in a single wave — a signal that shortlisted mid-market ERP vendors should be tested on their agent roadmap depth, not just current functionality.
