Most B2B companies don’t over-customize on purpose. They do it because their SI doesn’t know another way. At Logixal Inc, we see this constantly when companies implement platforms like commercetools. They choose composable commerce for flexibility and lower TCO. Then the implementation quietly rebuilds a monolith: 🛑 Custom services layered on top of native capabilities 🛑 Pricing logic rewritten outside the platform 🛑 Middleware added “just in case” 🛑 Architecture that looks modern — but behaves like legacy At Logixal Inc, we take a different approach. Before we write a line of code, we ask: 💡 What does the platform already solve natively? 💡 What truly requires extension? 💡 What creates measurable business value? Because in B2B, over-customization doesn’t just increase cost. 🚨 It slows innovation. 🚨 It makes agentic commerce harder to adopt. 🚨 It turns every roadmap decision into a budget discussion. That’s why we’ve built pre-configured B2B accelerators — so wholesalers, distributors, and manufacturers don’t have to reinvent patterns that already exist. 🎉 Composable should create freedom. If your architecture is getting heavier instead of lighter, it’s time to reassess. DM us for a complimentary B2B commerce strategy session. Let’s make sure you’re building flexibility — not future technical debt.

For the majority of manufacturers and distributors, this is still a big issue. The good news is the ability to update to modern platforms is easier than ever and typically much less expensive than in the past. Plus, methodologies like Pragmatic Composability allow you to upgrade quickly and over time, so you can start seeing value right away.

Logixal demonstrates again that they are more than just an SI. They practice what they preach and invest in providing value-added tools that enhance the customer experience.

Why are 67% of B2B Distributors still stuck in legacy commerce? Many B2B leaders are still running on ATG/OCC, Hybris, HCL/WebSphere, or other legacy systems. And it’s costing them: -- Slow rollouts -- High Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) -- Painful integrations -- Little or no room for personalization or AI The fix isn’t another “all-in-one” platform. It’s Agentic Commerce — combining commercetools’ MACH foundation with Logixal’s AI-driven accelerators. Better yet, it can be accomplished using a Pragmatic Composability approach that eliminates downtime and smooths the transition. The result? A commerce ecosystem that scales, adapts, and actually lowers TCO. 👉 If your platform feels like a burden instead of a growth engine, it’s time to rethink what Agentic Commerce can do for you.

Stop treating B2B eCommerce like B2C with bigger order quantities. This is where most implementations quietly break down. 🔸 The UI looks great. 🔸 The demo flows smoothly. 🔸 Checkout works. But B2B isn’t just bulk carts and login gates. It’s: 🔹 Contract-based pricing by account 🔹 Customer-specific catalogs 🔹 Multi-entity account hierarchies 🔹 Credit terms and payment controls 🔹 ERP-driven inventory accuracy 🔹 Rep-assisted ordering 🔹 Complex fulfillment logic across warehouses When a Systems Integrator approaches B2B like a scaled-up DTC build, the real complexity shows up late. And that’s when: ❗ Timelines stretch ❗ Change orders multiply ❗ TCO balloons ❗ Executive confidence erodes We see this all the time. The problem isn’t the platform. It’s the implementation mindset. At Logixal Inc, we build differently. As a Premium Partner of VTEX, we design around true B2B complexity from day one, combining: 👍 Composable commerce for flexibility and speed 👍 Agentic commerce to automate onboarding, quoting, reorders, and self-service experiences 👍 ERP-aware architecture that reflects operational reality And we don’t start from scratch. We’ve developed pre-built B2B accelerators specifically for wholesalers, manufacturers, and distributors, reducing implementation time and lowering Total Cost of Ownership without over-customizing the platform. That means: ✔ Faster time to market ✔ Lower implementation risk ✔ Reduced long-term dependency ✔ A foundation ready for AI-driven, agent-enabled commerce Because for a wholesaler, distributor, or manufacturer, eCommerce isn’t just a marketing site. It’s the digital operating layer of your business. If you’re evaluating an SI and want to pressure-test whether they truly understand B2B complexity, and what agentic, composable commerce should look like in practice, DM us to schedule a complimentary B2B commerce strategy session. Before you build the wrong thing — beautifully. #B2BeCommerce, #DigitalTransformation, #ComposableCommerce, #AgenticCommerce, #VTEX

🖥️🔒📨 It's Week 2 of Cybersecurity Awareness Month and the perfect time to discuss Phishing, Social Engineering & Human Element. The human element remains one of the biggest entry points for cyberattacks. In many breaches, attackers use a combination of phishing, impersonation, and social engineering to gain access. For example, K-12 schools reported that 82% experienced a cyber incident between July 2023 and December 2024, with phishing and social engineering among the top threats. With Guardian 365, we help organizations build defenses that go beyond technology — combining 24×7 monitoring, behavioral analytics, and ongoing awareness training to stop phishing and impersonation before they cause damage. Technology alone isn’t enough — people and processes must work together. Cyber attackers are getting smarter; it’s time your defenses do too. 💡 Take action this Cybersecurity Awareness Month — let’s talk about how Guardian 365 can empower your team to detect, respond, and stay ahead of evolving threats. 💡 #CybersecurityAwarenessMonth #Cybersecurity #HigherEd #MDR #Guardian365 #ForsyteIT #MicrosoftSecurity #highereducation #k12education

For the first time ever during a federal government shutdown, UNOS, in its capacity as an OPTN contractor, has been directed by the government to pause much of its critically important OPTN work. This has never happened before, and it requires urgent action. While my organization has long supported the OPTN, this is not about UNOS. And it’s not about politics. It’s about patients – people whose lives depend on a safe, stable system to facilitate the lifesaving treatment they need. As someone who has dedicated her career to growing and improving this lifesaving system, I’m alarmed about the future of the system. But it’s not about me, it’s about the facts. Here’s why you should be alarmed, too: -- The government is using the federal shutdown as a reason to indefinitely pause work that upholds the day-to-day operation of the OPTN. That pause directly impacts the safety of the system and delays improvements for patients, and sadly, the consequences of this work stoppage will be felt long after the shutdown. -- Our country’s organ donation and transplant system is headed toward extreme operational challenges after December 29, when the current contract for UNOS to manage the majority of the OPTN operations expires. After that, the government has no authorization in place with any organization to fully support the OPTN or manage an organ waitlist and allocate organs. -- The government has made virtually no progress toward transitioning the work of the OPTN to multiple vendors. So far, only two aspects of OPTN work – board of directors’ support and the patient services line – have been awarded to new contractors, and the government has not authorized UNOS to transition this work to the new contractors. This failure to authorize work transition has created unnecessary confusion and duplication of work. -- The federal government owes UNOS more than $10 million in reimbursement for OPTN-related work dating back to 2024 that has already been completed. Without swift, measurable progress by the federal government to end the shutdown, fully resume OPTN operations, and outline a plan for OPTN operations beyond December 29, HRSA risks abandoning the infrastructure in place to support the organ donation and transplant system.   I urge Congress to find a quick resolution to end the federal government shutdown and direct HRSA to fully resume OPTN work. This is about patients’ lives. The stakes are real, and we all must do what’s right for them.

Today we’re announcing a first-of-its-kind partnership with Guy's and St Thomas'​ NHS Foundation Trust and Wing to transport urgent blood samples across London by electric drone this Autumn. ✅Not only will this improve patient care by speeding up turnaround times, switching to drone deliveries has significant environmental benefits, reducing emissions by up to 99%. 🥼Last week we heard about the secretary of state Rt. Hon. Wes Streeting MP's three big shifts to transform the NHS. We believe partnerships like the one we’re announcing today are at the forefront of this change, blending the best of NHS innovation (our Founders Hammad Jeilani and Christopher Law are NHS doctors) with tech investment of Wing and the forward-thinking of trusts like Guy's and St Thomas'​ NHS Foundation Trust. A thank you to the ongoing support of Civil Aviation Authority and NATS too. 📢Electric drones will revolutionise NHS healthcare logistics through on-demand, automated and sustainable deliveries, helping the NHS create more efficient models of working and our doctors and nurses to deliver the highest quality care for patients. 🩵Keep your eyes open for more Apian news - over coming weeks we will be working closely with stakeholders and local communities as we work towards getting the trial up and running. https://lnkd.in/ed49wR5t

We had a fun time delivering to Guillermo & Lou on Jimmy Kimmel Live! Check out Wing's cameo on last night's show ➡️ https://lnkd.in/gKiqrmSV Watch Jimmy Kimmel Live! weeknights at 11:35 p.m./10:35 p.m. CT on ABC. #DroneDelivery #JimmyKimmelLive #DeliveredbyWing

🏥 I recently visited our operations in partnership with Guy's and St Thomas'​ NHS Foundation Trust and Apian at Guy’s and St Thomas’ hospitals. It’s a spectacular setting made even better by the operations underway! 🚀 Wing is now flying up to 10 on-demand blood sample transfers per day from Monday through Friday. ✈ I’m proud of our teams and grateful for the support from the UK Civil Aviation Authority undefined and NATS in making this important operation a reality. Check out the video and read more https://lnkd.in/eJgTagj9.

Extremely proud of the Wing and Apian teams who have worked for months (and years!) to get this incredibly important proof point for the #dronesforgood movement off the ground (and rooftops) of central London! Working with our partners at the #UKCAA and NHS, we are now delivering blood samples for CLINICAL decision making up to 15-20x Faster than traditional methods. Every sample represents a patient getting better care and faster care when they need it most. Watch the video!! #healthcare #drones #lastmile #logistics

Distyl will be in Davos for the World Economic Forum Annual Meeting 2026. The conversations this week reflect a real inflection point. Decisions being made now about technology, institutions, and how judgment is exercised at scale—will compound over decades. In particular, how we design and deploy AI will shape not just enterprise performance, but the fabric of our organizations and societies. Our CEO and Co-founder, Arjun Prakash, will be part of these discussions across the week, engaging with enterprise, policy, and technology leaders on what it takes to build AI systems that are powerful, trusted, and ultimately accountable to people. We also published our point of view with the World Economic Forum on the choices enterprises must make in the decade ahead. Read more here: https://lnkd.in/gJbqB5qJ #WEF26

Last week it was SaaS, and this week it's Code Security. Anthropic World is moving fast. Claude Code Security demonstrated that AI can now read, reason, and remediate code like a human, collapsing months of vulnerability discovery into minutes. This signals a significant shift in the era of “find and fix,” which is being rewritten in real time. However, the bigger truth is that detection and remediation are no longer sufficient. The real moat is prevention. Find issues → Fix issues → Prevent issues. The future belongs to platforms that don’t just react to risk but eliminate the conditions that create it. Why does prevention matter now? AI is accelerating development, deployment, and change velocity across every layer of the stack. With that speed comes compounding risk, leading to a new mandate: - Govern everything. In real time. Across cloud, SaaS, identity, AI agents, cost, and compliance. This is where prevention becomes the moat: - Policies that enforce themselves - Guardrails that adapt as environments change - AI agents that operate safely within governed boundaries - Continuous assurance instead of episodic audits Companies that prioritize prevention will move faster, safer, and with greater confidence than those relying solely on detection. This is the foundation upon which Graphion was built, Corestack's CNAPP Offering. The next decade of security will belong to platforms that can: - Predict issues before they manifest - Enforce policies before drift occurs - Contain AI agents before they misfire - Govern cloud and SaaS before chaos emerges Prevention is not just a feature; it’s the foundation. Governance is the control plane that makes it real. The shift has already begun, and it will redefine how enterprises build, secure, and scale in the AI era. #Corestack #Graphion #Anthropic #CodeSecurity #Security #CyberSecurity #Securitytools

Cloud architecture today resembles flying an airplane through unpredictable skies. Most days are smooth, with engines humming and dashboards glowing green. However, turbulence can remind you who’s truly in control — not you, not the aircraft, but the atmosphere around you. This week, the atmosphere shifted. AWS reported disruptions in Bahrain and the UAE during Iran’s strikes. Customers were advised to migrate certain shared-responsibility workloads out of impacted regions. This is more than a service update; it’s akin to the captain stepping out of the cockpit to say, “Fasten your seatbelts. This is going to be bumpy.” AWS Impact News by Reuters: https://lnkd.in/eeys-ic8 The deeper truth is that geopolitics is now part of your cloud architecture. The weather outside the data center is as significant as the hardware inside it. Shared responsibility is evolving into shared accountability. The cloud provider keeps the plane flying; you determine whether you’ve built in alternate landing paths. Resilience isn’t merely a backup plan; it’s a flight plan. If your workloads can’t move, your business can’t maneuver. Governance is the new autopilot. Without real-time visibility and guardrails, turbulence becomes a danger. For every enterprise leader, this week wasn’t just about a region going down; it was about a mindset waking up. In the cloud, as in aviation, the question isn’t whether turbulence will come, but whether you’ve built a system that can remain steady when it does. The skies will continue to change. Your architecture must be prepared to adapt. Deep sympathies for affected people and businesses in the Middle East, and we wish for improvements soon. #Cloud #WAR #Sovereignty #BCP #BusinessContinuity

AI isn’t just disrupting SaaS — it’s changing the layers of it. Happened to read one of the wonderfully written articles this week by Gennaro Cuofano about the market topic of AI and SaaS. As this article talks, when AI agents can read, write, and orchestrate data directly, whole categories of SaaS become unnecessary. Interfaces shrink. Seats disappear. Workflows collapse. But here’s the twist: As SaaS gets thinner, governance gets thicker. The more AI automates, the more enterprises need real‑time guardrails for security, compliance, cost, and operational integrity. That’s the new control plane. This is exactly where CoreStack is built to lead — AI‑native governance for a world where machines, not humans, drive the workload. SaaS may be contracting. Governance is about to explode. A must‑read for anyone preparing for the AI‑first enterprise era. Here is the link to the full article: https://lnkd.in/gE25F-zg

🚀 AI just redefined the next 1,000 days. But without Governance, it’s just a "Liability Engine." The last one week changed the game. We have officially moved from the "Chatbot Era" to the "Agent Era." With the sudden surge in autonomous agents—AI that can navigate CRMs, execute API calls, and solve problems independently—the message is clear: AI isn't just assisting work anymore; it’s executing it. But for the enterprise, "execution" without "governance" is a disaster waiting to happen. The "Agentic Shift" is a Governance Challenge: The Identity Crisis: When an AI agent executes a task, who owns the "Identity"? The Cost Trap: Autonomous agents can scale cloud consumption faster than any human team. The Trust Gap: How do you ensure an agent stays within compliance guardrails in real-time? This is where CoreStack changes the narrative. At CoreStack, we believe the winners of the next decade won't just have the fastest AI; they will have the most AI-Native Governance. We are building the Governance OS that allows you to: Orchestrate with Confidence: Move from "testing AI" to "deploying agents" with built-in safety boundaries. Govern the Cloud for AI: Automate cloud security and cost management so your AI experiments don't break the budget. Turn Compliance into a Growth Engine: Treat governance not as a "checkbox," but as the foundational layer that allows your agents to act with speed and responsibility. The "Future" didn't arrive this year. It arrived this week. Stop asking "What can AI do?" and start asking "Is my organization structurally prepared to govern what AI does?" 👇 Is your cloud infrastructure ready for the Agent Era? Let’s talk about the Governance OS in the comments. #CoreStack #AIGovernance #CloudSecurity #FutureOfWork #AI #GenerativeAI #Agents

Funding rate arbitrage is one of crypto's most underrated market-neutral strategies — and it's hiding in plain sight. Every time the perpetual contract funding rate swings far enough positive or negative, there's an opportunity to collect fees while staying largely hedged against price risk. The catch? Execution has to be precise. In our latest post, we walk through a full implementation of a funding rate arbitrage strategy, covering: ✅ How funding rates create systematic profit opportunities ✅ Entry and exit logic based on funding rate thresholds ✅ Simultaneous spot and futures order execution for delta-neutral hedging ✅ Backtesting the strategy on minute-level data Read the full blog here 👇 Learn more about us 👉 www.dolphindb.com #CryptoTrading #QuantTrading #ArbitrageStrategy #PerpetualContracts #AlgorithmicTrading #FinTech #DolphinDB #AlgorithmicTrading #HighPerformance

Something I'm genuinely looking forward to this April. 👇 We're hosting a small, invite-only gathering in Shanghai on April 2nd — a closed-door afternoon with quant fund managers, traders, and practitioners from across the industry. The conversation will center on where quantitative investing is heading: compute, strategy, and the full trading pipeline. No big stage — just honest dialogue among people who care about this space. We're keeping it intimate, around 70 people, so spots are limited. If you're in Shanghai and this sounds like your kind of afternoon, drop me a message. Happy to share more details. Hope to see some familiar faces there. 🙌 #DolphinDB #QuantitativeFinance #Shanghai #FinTech #AlgoTrading #TradingStrategy #BigData #DataEngineering

“In a world where AI can recombine insight at scale, the quality of the source becomes the differentiator.”

AI governance is quickly becoming table stakes. Institutional resilience is not. The real question may not be whether AI is controlled. It’s whether your institution can clearly explain how decisions were made, clearly, credibly, and step by step. As AI becomes embedded in everyday workflows, the ability to defend process and provenance will matter more than the presence of policy alone.

This article reflects how I've been thinking about structure, AI governance, and Model Risk. If you are in London the week of February 9 and interested in how these questions show up in real decision-making, I'd love to connect.

Today marks an important moment for BlueMatrix and the investment research ecosystem. After 27 years, I am transitioning from the CEO role into a new position as Founder & Chief Strategy Officer of BlueMatrix. BlueMatrix has been my professional home for nearly three decades. What began as an idea has grown into the Gold Standard platform that supports many of the world’s leading financial institutions. Currently, the research landscape is entering a structural transformation, particularly as AI begins to reshape how research is created, distributed, and consumed. BlueMatrix sits at the center of that ecosystem, and I’m excited to spend more of my time focused on our product vision, our strategy, and the core principles that have always defined this company. I’m also very pleased to welcome David Nable as BlueMatrix’s new CEO. David brings rich experience working with financial institutions, as well as a deep appreciation for the role that BlueMatrix plays in the research ecosystem. David and I will be working hand-in-hand as we continue building on the foundation we’ve created. This transition is not a step away – it’s a step toward what comes next. There is a tremendous opportunity ahead, and I couldn’t be more excited for this next chapter. - Patricia

Introducing Millennium Rental and Leasing, born out of the realization early in my career that many contractors require specific equipment for job tasks, negating the need for large-scale purchases. This limitation often hinders job opportunities or leads to outsourcing work, impacting quality control and potential profits. Some wanted to manage capital costs, opting to expense equipment rather than depreciate it, while others sought to avoid the hassle of maintenance when the machines returned from the field. Our solution? Meeting clients at their point of need to empower them with equipment control and profitability. Today, we launched a new page that showcases item availability and costs for the hundreds of assets stored in our warehouses. This initiative aims to streamline processes, offering transparency on available resources for you and your contractors. Together, let's drive fiber builds forward efficiently. https://lnkd.in/eH7cQ66j #MillenniumRentalAndLeasing #EmpoweringContractors #MyMillennium

Newark got 27.1 inches of snow this week. The forecast predicted 24-28 inches. But nobody could predict that 600,000 people would lose power or where the outages would hit hardest. Weather prediction technology works amazingly well. We can forecast down to neighborhood-level accuracy. What they couldn't predict was which specific infrastructure would fail. Because their systems can't talk to each other. Equipment from five different decades generating data in five different formats. Historical outage records from the 1990s in handwritten logs. Current infrastructure status spread across six databases. Weather data in modern cloud platforms. Eversource spent a decade building systems to integrate this data. Their outage prediction accuracy improved enough to cut restoration times by 33%. Most utilities haven't done this work yet. The Department of Energy estimates weather outages cost $150 billion annually. Most of that cost is restoration time, not storm damage. If utilities could predict which circuits would fail 48 hours before a storm, they could pre-position crews and cut restoration times in half. The technology exists. The data integration doesn't. At ACI INFOTECH, we help utilities companies modernize their data infrastructure to connect decades of legacy systems with modern weather intelligence platforms. Making outage prediction actually work.   https://bit.ly/4u32yjk

Your AI maturity will never outgrow your data discipline. That is becoming clearer by the day. Platforms like Microsoft Azure - Databricks are no longer just about analytics scale. They are becoming the backbone for enterprises that want their data to be usable, trusted, and ready for real AI adoption. The conversation I see with leadership teams has shifted. It used to be, “How do we centralize everything?” Now it is, “Can we trust this enough to automate decisions on top of it?” That is a very different question. In regulated industries especially, the lakehouse is not about performance alone. It is about lineage, audit trails, policy enforcement, and being able to move fast without losing control. The organizations moving ahead treat their data platform as a governed intelligence layer, not a storage upgrade. Modern data architecture is not just an IT project. It becomes a control system for how the business operates. And that is where the real advantage starts to show.

Ali Ghodsi's right about the 32% problem. We just finished a Databricks deployment where the client wanted AI to manage their data pipelines. Before we built anything, we asked their team, when this schema changed last quarter, how many downstream systems broke? Nobody knew. Took them three days to figure it out. Forty-seven dependencies. Most of them undocumented. You can't hand that to a general coding agent and expect it to work. It doesn't know which database to trust when customer counts don't match. It doesn't know that the marketing team's definition of "active user" is different from finance's definition. It doesn't know that permissions get revoked on Fridays because that's when IT does maintenance. The 71% score Ali mentions for Genie Code makes sense because it's built knowing how enterprises actually operate. Data doesn't just sit there cleanly waiting to be analyzed. It's spread across systems from different decades that were never designed to talk to each other. ACI INFOTECH been a Databricks partner for years now, deployed it across retail, finance & healthcare clients. Same pattern every time - the technical part works fast. The context part takes months. Building the lineage. Documenting the governance. Figuring out what broke and why. Most AI pilots fail not because the AI is bad. They fail because nobody built the foundation that makes AI useful. You need to know your data before you can automate working with it. That's the gap between 32% and 71%. Enterprise context isn't something you bolt on later. You either have it or you're guessing.

We just announced GA of 𝐙𝐞𝐫𝐨𝐛𝐮𝐬 🚀🚀🚀. It's a "𝐬𝐡𝐢𝐟𝐭-𝐥𝐞𝐟𝐭" strategy on message buses! Most workloads first get ingested to a bus like 𝐀𝐩𝐚𝐜𝐡𝐞 𝐊𝐚𝐟𝐤𝐚, and then processed again with say Spark (or even Kafka Connect). With Zerobus you can replace this whole pipeline. Just hit an API with individual data items you want to add and they'll appear in Parquet, Iceberg, Delta Lake on your Lakehouse in seconds! It can handle the 3 Vs (Volume, Variety, Velocity) of the data just like any bus, without the hassle of hosting, managing, operating a message bus. https://lnkd.in/gjgVpNSn

Exceeding our clients’ expectations must be an obsession. Last week in Miami was a powerful reminder of why Sodexo Live! continues to grow: because we stay close to our clients, their venues, and their operations – where value is truly created. I spent two energizing days with the Sodexo Live! leadership team, reflecting on our successes, openly discussing challenges, and continuing to strenghten the way we serve our clients and guests across sports, convention centers and live destinations. Visiting iconic venues such as the Miami Beach Convention Center and the Miami Dolphins and Hard Rock Stadium, and engaging directly with our clients, reinforced a conviction I heard consistently: Sodexo Live! is seen not simply as a service provider, but as a trusted business partner. This is the result of a strong growth mindset combined with premium execution and an unwavering commitment to exceptional food, hospitality, and service quality — delivered every day, in the most demanding environments. I was also pleased to exchange with Nathalie BELLON-SZABO on the role Sodexo Live! plays within Sodexo. It is both a showcase of our expertise and a high-potential business that we are determined to grow further, alongside our clients and teams. What struck me most in Miami was the incredible talent, passion and shared values across the Sodexo Live! teams worldwide. Their obsession with client and guest satisfaction is what fuels our performance and our ambition Thank you to Nathalie and the entire Sodexo Live! leadership team for hosting this inspiring gathering and thank you to our clients for their trust and partnership. Let’s keep building growth – by raising the bar for our clients. #ClientExperience #GrowthMindset #Leadership #PremiumHospitality

🔹 Cloud pricing is complex and it can spiral out of control fast 🔹 Cost anomalies are on the rise 🔹 AI is accelerating multi-cloud adoption CoreStack is trusted by leading MSPs and enterprises for cloud governance. As a result, we have one of the largest multi-cloud data sets in the industry, spanning cost, inventory, security, operations, and compliance. Insights from this massive data corpus reveal a clear trend: cloud cost anomalies are increasing, driven largely by the rapid adoption of data services, AI services, and observability services. Left unmanaged, these anomalies can quickly push cloud spend beyond expectations. In this article, we break down: 1. The top cloud services that most frequently cause cost spikes 2. How these anomalies impact overall cloud spend 3. How organizations can proactively control costs using cognitive anomaly detection, instead of relying on manual, rule-based approaches 📌 If you’re accountable for cloud costs but still using manual or static rules to detect spend spikes, this article is for you 👇 👉 https://lnkd.in/gsM7T45V #CloudGovernance #FinOps #CloudCostManagement #MultiCloud #AI #Observability #CostOptimization #CoreStack #AWS  #Azure  #GCP  #OCI #MSP #AI Ezhilarasan (Ez) Natarajan Ashish Saxena Suren Singh Krishnakumar (Kk) Narayanan Satyabrat Chowdhury Perumal Balakrishnan Parthu Kishen Rajesh Mishra Ganesh Muthu Robert Ford Kailee Dahan Gurpreet Singh Karthik Balasubramanian

BREAKING: Amazon just basically told employees: “Show me what you produced last year, in 3–5 bullets, or you don’t exist.” Amazong just made it a formal requirement in performance reviews: list 3–5 specific accomplishments, with examples of what you delivered and how you’ll keep leveling up. This is Andy Jassy’s culture shift in one move: Less “I’m valuable.” More “Here’s what shipped. Here’s the impact. Here’s the proof.” Why this matters (even if you don’t work at Amazon) 1. The era of “busy” is dead Your calendar isn’t your contribution. Your output is. 2. Storytelling is now a performance skill If you can’t explain impact, you’ll get outcompeted by someone who can. 3. Big Tech is getting harsher, not softer Amazon is making accountability explicit, and others are trending the same way. Is the era of Big Tech changing?

I’m happy to share that I’ve obtained a new certification: Hyper AI University from Hyper Entrepreneur!

Don’t use AI for AI sake. Get the model card, onboard the AI like you would a person and a vendor. Getting AI wrong, doubtful examiners, will ruin your day. Yes, your models can be trained by your data, not your competitors. Call me about an AI hive you control.

Today, FinCEN assessed an historic $80 million penalty against Canaccord Genuity LLC for securities fraud-related Bank Secrecy Act (BSA) violations. This is the largest penalty ever imposed against a broker-dealer for violating the BSA. https://lnkd.in/ewRPB5Zu

We recently deployed a macro site for a major national operator in a region with harsh environmental conditions. They needed to add macro capacity in areas with heavy ice loading, high wind pressure, and restrictive zoning. This made traditional towers impractical and costly. The Solution:  • Macro antennas on a 15-meter steel pole  • Wrap-around cabinets for equipment integration  • Full turnkey hardware: antenna, pole, enclosure, cabling The Result: Deployment time was significantly faster than equivalent tower builds. The compact footprint and zoning-friendly design streamlined approvals in areas where lattice towers would have stalled for months. More importantly, the sites deliver full macro performance - same coverage, same capacity- without the complexity, cost, and visual impact of traditional infrastructure. 🔗 Contact our team to explore the right solution for your network: https://lnkd.in/eMTfJ9H

We’ve partnered with Virgin Media O2, Flintshire County Council and Uchelgais Gogledd Cymru | Ambition North Wales to deploy the region’s first 4G and 5G small cells. This deployment boosts network capacity and delivers faster, more reliable speeds to residents and businesses, including those at Deeside Industrial Park, one of the UK’s largest industrial clusters. Find out more about the deployment here: https://lnkd.in/e2dRvvER #ConnectedCities #SmallCells #DigitalInfrastructure #5G #NorthWales

Great chance to catch up with Jack Slevin and discuss how Alpha Wireless can help with antennas for your mission critical networks.

A new way to build Macros. Macro performance in a small‑cell footprint with single or multi-operator options, faster zoning and lower TCO. Standardised 15m(50')//25m(80') sites pre-staged in the warehouse to minimise build time in the field.

Looking forward to connecting with friends, industry experts, and our amazing customers. See you soon! #MWC26

The biggest launch in Air's history is happening on Tuesday!

Yesterday we took out a full page ad in the New York Times and over 1,000 people showed up to Air HQ to give it a read, sip some chai, and finish a crossword. A friend asked me why everyone showed up and if I'm being honest, I'm not really sure. I hope they liked the piece, I think the free snacks helped, but maybe, just maybe, they simply wanted to celebrate the shockingly unorthodox opinion that AI will never replace creative work. In the words of Michael Phillips: "this is not sponsored by Air, and i don't work there—but every person i meet who does seems to be having the time of their lives."

Next week Air is shipping a few new features we’ve put months of love into. On Sunday we’re running a full page ad in the New York Times to market the launch. Our latest release and this handwritten letter attempt to articulate our singular, rather rigid, shockingly unorthodox belief: AI will never replace creative work. To honor this message, come join us for a block party outside our office on Howard & Lafayette. There will be free coffee, my favorite chai, matcha, cinnamon buns, and some friends of ours playing tunes. A link to RSVP is in the comments below!

We built a space so that we could give it away. Last night we hosted 40 of our longest-standing customers at Air HQ for dinner and a few demos of our next feature release. This was the first IRL session we've ever had with a product release and we now might repeat the motion every time. The notes were real and dinner finally gave us a chance to dig in. With the pace of product development forever increasing, it's critical to find space for validation. Nights like this remind us why our product (and new product bets!) matter in the first place.

Air Canvas is live. Over the last 8 years, Air has become the space where creative teams around the globe manage their images and videos. We’ve endeavored to become their memory. Just 3 months ago, our team set out to add a context-powered set of features that uses AI to help creative teams multiply their work. Today, Air also becomes the product for creatives to scale their work. Our goal with Canvas is ease of use without compromising on quality: access to the latest generative image and video models alongside tools that are optimized for keeping humans in the loop. Canvas provides immediate access to 50+ models to make thousands of powerful edits. Creatives can do this on their own or train agents to do this work for them. A few of my personal favorite workflows? 1 / Smart resize: Select all your channels, and get perfectly resized assets while preserving layout, text, and no-fly zones 2 / Edit text without source files: Canvas extracts text layers so you can update copy in your fonts directly in Air 3 / Bulk edits: Select multiple assets and prompt changes like “replace background color” across all at once Tyler Strand and I have spent nearly a decade listening to and learning from creatives. Air has spent years building an understanding of your content, style, and workflows. Canvas builds on this foundation by studying your brand to automatically detect elements and guide agentic workflows. Our ambition is to build consistency into every output. At Air, our singular, rather rigid, shockingly unorthodox belief is that creative should be made by creatives. AI will never replace the person who decides where the story begins, which frame feels right, or whether the work should even continue to exist. Today’s release was built to help creatives take great work and scale it with the power of AI. Give it a try and let us know what you think!

ClickUp just blew past $300M ARR. But we're not just celebrating a number. We're stopping to celebrate the entire journey - before we move the goal post again. And this journey has been nothing short of extraordinary. We’ve grown from a small team with a huge dream into a global company helping 20M+ people maximize their productivity. 7 years ago, we set out with an ambitious vision. We built ClickUp to end the chaos of work sprawl and converge many software categories together. We started when "one app" was seen as the wrong strategy, but today it's the only strategy to realize our mission of making people more productive. Because 100% context is the single most important thing for enabling human productivity from AI. So, this milestone? We stop. We breathe. We practice gratitude. We celebrate. To our customers: Thank you so much for believing in us, and for sticking with us through growing pains. To our teams: I'm infinitely grateful for how much you care, it energizes me to keep going every single day. We’re just getting started. Thank you to everyone who’s been part of this story. 💜
