“The attitude that makes FDEs unique is: the only thing that matters is the outcome.” Palantir Forward Deployed Engineers debut the Coffee Cup, an AIP-powered hackathon where candidates compete to run the best coffee shop — and get hired at Palantir.









$PLTR 1.5 years ago, Duane Massie from $AMAT indicated ERP was replaceable. Other companies have indicated the same, and yet ERP products aren't going to be replaced by Palantir or AI just yet in mass. Why? Switching costs. Per SAP's presentation at AIPcon9, the migration of an ERP system can cost up to 10x the cost of software. However, Palantir also has partnered with SAP, helping for SAP to SAP migration, or migration from other ERP providers. Per SAP's COO: "One Fortune 500 company ran a discovery sprint, validated the plan and executed in under four months. Another was able to move from actually doing about five migrations every two weeks to doing dozens and dozens and dozens in a week and less. We are excited for what's next. For us, it's very clear. For SAP, the destination is in the cloud with AI for all of you, and our partnership with Palantir helps you get there much faster. We are united in this mission also together with our ecosystem." From Palantir's standpoint, it doesn't really matter whether ERP is "dead" (as per the clip below) or whether it just greatly reduces switching costs. Either way, Palantir is incredibly well-positioned.
