Sales training has long had a practice problem: learning a technique in a course is very different from successfully using it with a real customer. Richardson Sales Performance is addressing that gap by adding AI Roleplay, powered by Hyperbound, to its Accelerate Prism platform, giving sellers a way to rehearse high-stakes conversations, receive immediate feedback…
The AI infrastructure bottleneck is shifting from access to GPUs to the ability to operate them efficiently. Aranya, an infrastructure startup building an AI-native operating layer for distributed GPU clusters, has raised $11 million to automate the deployment and management of AI compute. The company says its technology is already managing more than $500 million…
Happiest Minds Technologies and ITC Infotech are combining their businesses in a deal that reflects a bigger shift underway in India’s technology-services industry: AI is making scale, specialized engineering capabilities and enterprise domain expertise increasingly important. The proposed merger is expected to create a technology-services company with more than 19,000 employees, 800-plus customers and operations…
AI infrastructure is no longer being built solely around massive cloud data centers. As inference moves closer to users, machines and physical environments, the next competitive frontier is becoming the connection between centralized compute, edge systems and intelligent machines. HUMAIN is taking a step in that direction by selecting Compal Electronics as a long-term strategic…
Enterprise AI development is moving beyond code assistants and into the business platforms where critical workflows actually run. UST is targeting that shift with UST Codon, a governed AI workspace that lets teams describe application and workflow changes in plain English across ServiceNow, SAP, Salesforce, Oracle Fusion and Workday, while keeping expert validation, auditing and…
For years, large banks have had an advantage in customer analytics because of their scale, technology budgets and access to sophisticated data infrastructure. A new Celent case study involving Union Savings Bank suggests that advantage may be narrowing. The Connecticut community bank is using predictive AI to identify customers at risk of leaving, recommend retention…
Enterprise AI in Asia Pacific and Japan is moving beyond copilots and isolated experiments into the operational systems that run government programs, insurance processes and large-scale business operations. Appian’s 2026 APJ Partner Awards, recognizing Accenture, Deloitte, Roboyo and Conexxia, offer a snapshot of that transition: AI is increasingly being embedded directly into business processes rather…
The next phase of AI may not happen on a screen. It will happen where machines have to sense physical forces, manipulate objects, adapt to changing conditions and execute tasks reliably. Agile Robots and its Franka Robotics subsidiary used two European events in August to demonstrate how that transition is taking shape—from AI-generated robot training…
The AI infrastructure race is entering a new stage. As hyperscalers diversify beyond Nvidia GPUs and deploy custom accelerators of their own, the critical technology challenge is shifting from individual chip performance to the interconnect fabric that allows heterogeneous processors to work together at scale. For years, the AI infrastructure conversation revolved around one question:…
