Its roadmap brings together agentic AI, invoice data, payment fraud prevention, and e-invoicing compliance. The strategy reflects how the AP automation market is changing. Touchless invoice processing remains important, but it is becoming a baseline […]

Advisor-Led Models Are Prone To Relationship Risks  Traditionally, asset management firms and insurers focus on manufacturing the (investment or insurance) product and leave the acquisition and relationship management to advisors. The industry is built on that model and the resulting value-exchange system generously rewards client advisors, brokers, and agents for consistently generating sales, growing assets […]

AI won’t kill marketing agencies, but it will reshape what makes them valuable. In 2027, agencies will increasingly split between intelligence-powered transformation partners and specialist executors as brands insource more content production and demand greater AI expertise.

AI will take on more of the B2B buying process in 2027, but buyers won’t hand over the final say. Discover how AI agents, human validation, and heightened risk scrutiny will reshape business buying.

What is Tokenomics? How do I manage token costs? Does tokenomics matter if I only purchase AI copilot subscriptions? Questions like these dominate the bulk of my client conversations. Tech leaders believe tokenomics is simply a token cost management exercise — it isn’t. Tokenomics may be one of the most misleading terms in the AI […]

Back in June, we argued that Anthropic’s proposed IPO would change the economics of enterprise AI, reasoning that a public listing brings discipline: Pricing would “get real,” capital would chase acquisitions, and Anthropic would trade capability for cost. The public S-1, filed October 26, has the numbers we lacked a few months ago, and it […]

The private key of a certificate authority (CA) should be one of the most secure secrets in digital infrastructure. In eMudhra’s case, eight CA private keys turned out to not be very secret. In fact, they were so weak that security researchers could derive them from their corresponding public keys almost instantly. Security researcher Scott […]

Five banks have moved to block third-party AI agents from operating inside customer accounts and making transactions. Given the risks and uncertainties surrounding agentic AI, those banks’ response to AI agents having accessed their customers’ accounts is understandable. Banks are right to be concerned about fraud, unauthorized transactions, privacy risks, liability, and regulatory accountability. AI […]

At LogicMonitor Elevate 2026 in Chicago, one thing became clear: The company’s strategy is evolving from monitoring individual technologies toward orchestrating work, experiences, and outcomes. One of the biggest themes at Elevate wasn’t a single product announcement but the convergence of observability, digital employee experience management (DEXM), IT service management (ITSM), and AIOps. Vendors across […]

AI PCs need a stronger enterprise value proposition rather than more processing power. At HP’s event in Modena, Italy near Ferrari’s Fiorano Circuit last week, I saw a broader ambition: Connect devices, software, and agents to reshape how work gets done. For technology leaders, the question is whether HP can translate that ambition into integrated […]

Gambling in prediction markets, buying cryptocurrency, and investing in meme stocks have similar characteristics: plenty of buzz, promises of phenomenal returns, and bragging rights just for participating in the game. Experiencing the story unfold firsthand can be entertaining (and nerve-racking!). Constructing an annual marketing budget shouldn’t feel like this at all, yet allocating AI investments […]

For about a decade, CIOs have been asking for a seat at the table. In 2027, many will finally get one, along with a stack of AI promises somebody else made and a few hundred agents nobody remembers hiring. The next phase of AI comes with a less glamorous problem: figuring out who owns what […]

Journey mapping is one of the most popular yet one of the most misunderstood and misused tools in CX. Creating maps is the easy part. Creating change is where most organizations struggle. Over the past five weeks, the CX Cast revisited five episodes that explore journey mapping from different angles, from running effective mapping exercises […]

It’s predictions season again, and signs point to 2027 bringing a new reality check to infrastructure strategies. AI is moving into mission-critical production, geopolitical uncertainty is testing global operations, and organizations are pushing more applications and intelligence to the edge. For infrastructure and operations (I&O) leaders, that means rethinking how to source AI infrastructure, build […]

Sovereign Communications Need More Than Sovereign Technology At the Matrix Conference, European government and defense deployments showed why digital sovereignty increasingly depends on federation, open standards, sustainable ecosystems, and, above all, adoption. Digital sovereignty discussions often start with a familiar question: Where’s my data hosted? But the Matrix Conference in Malmö highlighted a much broader […]

Forrester announced the shift of the legacy security awareness and training (SA&T) market in 2024 to human risk management (HRM), introducing a profound change of mindset, strategy, process, and technology for managing human-related breaches.

If you’ve studied the reference architectures, read the BeyondCorp whitepapers, poured over strategies and fan charts, or tried to plot your position in any of the (many) Zero Trust maturity models and found yourself inspired by the concepts but puzzled by the process, you’re not alone. If the sheer number of Zero Trust something-or-others available […]

The revenue orchestration platform (ROP) market is entering a new phase as Salesforce increases competitive pressure on established ROP providers. For years, providers such as Gong, Salesloft, Outreach, Aviso, Revenue.io, and others benefited from a simple reality: Salesforce was the system of record, but it was rarely the preferred place to work. Specialist providers created […]

Qualys’ ROCon 2026 conference highlighted the vendor’s commitment to providing solutions for the three key aspects of cloud security. Risk operations instead of security operations. Qualys has always emphasized tackling business risk (uptime, availability, business criticality of infrastructure, and a minimized threat surface) instead of trying to fix every discovered vulnerability. At ROCon 2026, the […]
