Docusign Agreement Layer for the Agentic Enterprise Coming to Every Agent

Docusign Agreement Layer for the Agentic Enterprise Coming to Every Agent

Docusign | #1 in Electronic Signature and Intelligent Agreement Management

Docusign, the most trusted name in agreement tech, applies agreement engine to modern agentic enterprise tech stacks

Docusign announced it will open its Model Context Protocol (MCP) Server to every AI agent on September 30. With the Docusign MCP generally available globally, agreement intelligence and governed action powered by AI engine Docusign Iris are now callable natively from Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini, Copilot, Slack, and any MCP client, directly accessible by the agents running a business.

“For enterprise AI to truly succeed, it must integrate with the foundational systems that businesses rely on, like agreement management,” said Allan Thygesen, CEO of Docusign. “Agents require a robust framework to analyze terms and execute end-to-end agreement workflows. Docusign becomes the essential agreement layer for any platform’s agent, leveraging deep context and the rigorous governance customers demand. This is what evolves a connected agent into a trusted partner for contract management.”

Docusign has operated an open, API-first platform for two decades, with eSignature embedded in over 1,100 partner-built applications. Now, Docusign’s MCP Server extends that same open architecture for agents leveraging a full intelligent agreement suite. The Docusign MCP Server is built for the enterprise, with account-level admin controls, global multi-region infrastructure, and multilingual support. Agents will draw on the full context of past negotiations, accepted terms, clauses, and company policy through Iris, Docusign’s AI engine, across Intelligent Agreement Management, and even in advanced CLM workflows.

Available everywhere work happens

Docusign eliminates the need for app-switching that slows deals down by natively embedding contract analysis, sending, and tracking where work already happens. This runs bidirectionally with data from systems like Oracle flowing directly into Docusign, while Docusign’s own capabilities extend outward into Slack, Perplexity, and Salesforce where Iris runs natively alongside Agentforce. Salesforce recently named Docusign as a Partner of the Year award winner, recognizing IAM integrations across Salesforce, Agentforce and Slack that empower customers to close deals, pull contract insight for renewals and collaborate on agreements without leaving their flow of work.

Here’s what beta customers and partners had to share:

  • “Salesforce delivers AI agents you can trust, serving customers 24/7, generating new pipeline, and handling routine work at scale — so people can focus on judgment, relationships, and growth. Collaborating with Docusign adds real value for customers who are building their Agentic Enterprise with Salesforce. Agentforce and Slackbot will read and act on contract terms in real-time to accelerate high value sales and service actions. Together we accelerate business processes that our customers really care about,” said Joe Inzerillo, President Enterprise & AI Technology, Salesforce.
  • “As organizations move from AI experimentation to enterprise-scale deployment, agreements are an essential workflow that agents need to understand and act on securely. Docusign’s MCP capabilities give organizations a practical way to bring agreement workflows into the AI platforms and agent experiences where employees already work. Slalom looks forward to helping joint customers design and deploy these connected experiences in a way that drives productivity while supporting the governance, integration, and change management required for enterprise adoption,” said Carlos Etter, Director of Global Enterprise Applications & CLM Practice Leader, Slalom.
  • “Docusign is Experian’s core agreement layer. As an early enterprise customer, we’re exploring how agentic capabilities can strengthen our agreement intelligence — verifying accuracy at the drafting stage, automating across the contract lifecycle, and in doing so improving both how our teams work and how our clients experience contracting with us. We’re excited by the potential agents hold for how enterprises manage agreements at scale,” said Gary Sonnenthal, VP, Global Quote to Cash Product Owner, Experian.

AI SEO Hacker Launches Affordable, KPI-Guaranteed SEO and AI Search Optimization Service, Verified Across 10 Industries

AI SEO Hacker Launches Affordable, KPI-Guaranteed SEO and AI Search Optimization Service, Verified Across 10 Industries

Taipei agency ties NT$10,000 monthly contracts to five KPIs, backed by a documented track record across tourism, SaaS, manufacturing, and e-commerce.

AI SEO Hacker today announced the continued rollout of its SEO and Generative Engine Optimization (GEO) service, a program built around two commitments the company says are still uncommon in the industry: an affordable, transparent monthly rate and a written performance guarantee.

Rather than the 12- to 24-month retainers common among SEO agencies, AI SEO Hacker structures its first engagement as a 6-month contract priced at NT$10,000 (roughly USD $310) per month, following an initial 2-month setup phase. Five key performance indicators — covering keyword rankings, AI search visibility, organic traffic, and impression growth — are written directly into the contract. If a client does not hit at least three of the five KPIs, AI SEO Hacker provides a documented remedy at no additional cost: either an extra month of service or 15 additional SEO articles.

The company backs its claims with public, verifiable data. Across 10 client websites tracked through Google Search Console, AI SEO Hacker reports a combined 316,172 organic clicks and 11.24 million impressions, with actual click-through traffic recorded from 150 countries and regions. All nine of the assessable traffic- and impression-based KPIs tracked across those accounts were met. The client base spans industries as varied as travel agencies, local tourism operators, pet care services, plumbing and home repair, manufacturing, e-commerce, B2C and B2B SaaS platforms, and AI video production — evidence, the company says, that its methodology is not limited to a single niche.

“Most SEO agencies ask you to trust a 12-month contract and a slide deck,” said Hulk Chen, founder of AI SEO Hacker. “We flipped that. Our price is public, our KPIs are written into the contract, and our case studies show the actual Google Search Console numbers — not just the wins we want to talk about. If we don’t hit the targets, the fix is free.”

SoundHound AI Completes Acquisition of LivePerson, Creating a World-Leading Omnichannel Conversational AI Powerhouse

Conversational AI Agents for the Real World | SoundHound AI

Combined company appoints John Collins as Chief Financial Officer

SoundHound AI, Inc. , a global leader in voice and agentic AI, announced the successful completion of its acquisition of LivePerson, Inc., and the appointment of John Collins as the combined company’s Chief Financial Officer.

With the transaction officially closed, SoundHound AI immediately expands its market footprint, with a customer base that includes 25 of the Fortune 100, and a strengthened IP portfolio of over 750 patents. The combination brings together LivePerson’s extensive enterprise digital messaging infrastructure with SoundHound’s proprietary voice agentic AI. LivePerson’s platform will be integrated into OASYS, SoundHound’s self-learning Orchestrated Agent System, which is the result of decades of innovation from SoundHound and its recent acquisitions. The unified platform will deliver a world-leading fully integrated, end-to-end customer engagement solution that operates natively across voice, web, mobile, SMS, and social channels.

“This merger represents a defining moment for the new agentic AI era. Together, we are delivering the most complete AI platform to the most comprehensive enterprise customer base in the industry,” said Keyvan Mohajer, CEO and Co-Founder of SoundHound AI. “Now global brands have a single, unified engine to power intelligent customer interactions — scaling SoundHound’s reach to serve every enterprise, on every channel, at an unprecedented level.”

Highlights of the closed transaction include a strong and fully debt-free combined balance sheet, establishing a resilient financial foundation for accelerated commercial growth and continuous product innovation. With expanded global scale, an enriched customer base spanning key enterprise verticals, and enhanced cross-selling capabilities, the unified company is strategically positioned to target more than $500M in future revenue from the existing customer base alone. The acquisition accelerates the combined company’s ability to address the rapid rise of agentic AI, with Gartner® forecasting that enterprise spend on the software will reach $985 billion by 2030.

New Chief Financial Officer Appointed

Following an extensive executive search, SoundHound AI has selected John Collins to join the company as its Chief Financial Officer. As CFO, Collins will focus on accelerating SoundHound AI’s path to sustainable profitability, while maintaining its strong growth trajectory and disciplined approach to capital allocation.

Collins brings over 15 years of leadership experience at the intersection of enterprise software, data science, capital markets, corporate finance, and artificial intelligence. With a rare blend of operator expertise, financial stewardship, and entrepreneurial vision, he has previously been a founder, as well as Chief Financial Officer, Chief Operating Officer, and Interim Chief Executive Officer at LivePerson.

Throughout his career, Collins has consistently met the strategic and financial needs of the business, from supporting R&D innovation and high growth, to driving cost-optimization initiatives that yielded free cash flow and improved operational efficiency. Notably, Collins led a transformation from more than $100M of annual cash burn to positive free cash flow in a single year while supporting double-digit growth, executed cost-reduction programs in excess of $200M, and led multi-year debt restructurings that captured $227M of debt discount, improving liquidity and shifting enterprise value from debt holders to equity holders. This proven background in managing complex enterprise infrastructure equips Collins to drive the financial integration of SoundHound AI and LivePerson post-close, helping to create a world leader in AI for customer service.

The holder of both a JD and an MBA, Collins will oversee the combined company’s financial strategy with a focus on accelerating margin expansion, enforcing tight cost discipline, and driving seamless operational synergies to capitalize on SoundHound AI’s expanded footprint and the rapidly growing agentic AI market.

“Joining SoundHound AI at this pivotal juncture is an extraordinary opportunity to help steer the company’s next phase of global growth at a time of rapid agentic AI adoption by large enterprises,” said John Collins, incoming CFO of SoundHound AI. “Backed by a strong, debt-free balance sheet and market momentum, my focus will be on driving seamless operational integration, enforcing cost discipline, and accelerating our path to sustainable, high-margin profitability.”

Day One Combination Value

With the closing following regulatory and shareholder approvals, integration is actively underway to deliver immediate value to customers and shareholders:

  • Unified Omnichannel Solutions: Enterprise customers can now deploy a single conversational AI platform capable of driving voice interactions, digital chat, and social messaging natively.
  • Enhanced AI Capabilities for LivePerson Customers: SoundHound’s fully agentic platform, OASYS, and AI models will deliver improvements in performance, user experience, containment, and overall customer health across LivePerson’s enterprise customer base spanning digital and voice channels.
  • Smarter, Faster AI Across Every Channel: By combining SoundHound’s deep voice capabilities with LivePerson’s proven digital engagement, enterprise deployments benefit from an even richer foundation of customer interaction insights. This means higher containment rates, faster resolution times, and smoother experiences.
  • Strengthened Financial Footprint: As part of the close, SoundHound has retired LivePerson’s outstanding debt, establishing a strong, debt-free balance sheet positioned to drive efficient growth.

“Our shared focus is clear: accelerate innovation and deliver immediate impact for our customers,” said John Sabino, CEO of LivePerson. “Together, we offer an unparalleled value proposition for enterprises seeking to modernize their contact centers and digital touchpoints with a trusted, enterprise-grade AI partner.”

With the transaction closed, LivePerson common stock will cease trading on the Nasdaq stock market. Functional integration is already underway, with combined product offerings and expanded capabilities set to roll out to global clients in the coming quarters.

Datamaran Appoints Bert Sinnema as Chief Technology Officer

Datamaran Logo

Datamaran, the AI-powered risk and governance software provider, announced the appointment of Bert Sinnema as Chief Technology Officer. Based out of the company’s Leeuwarden office in the Netherlands, Sinnema will lead Datamaran’s global engineering and product teams, including the engineering hub in Valencia, Spain, driving the technology and product vision behind the platform that helps organizations understand and manage evolving risks and opportunities.

As CTO, Sinnema will own Datamaran’s product vision, strategy, and technology roadmap, from setting direction to architecture, delivery, and the teams building it. He steps into the role at a pivotal moment for the company, as Datamaran deepens its use of AI across the platform to give customers faster, more decision-ready insights into risk, regulation, and stakeholder expectations. His mandate: lead the engineering and product organization, accelerate the pace of AI-driven product development, and ensure the platform keeps pace with the increasingly complex and fast-moving risk landscape.

A track record scaling product engineering teams

Sinnema brings more than 12 years of product engineering leadership experience spanning startups, scale-ups, and category-leading platforms, with deep expertise at the intersection of engineering, cybersecurity, and AI. He joins Datamaran from Eye Security, Europe’s fastest-growing cybersecurity company, where he served as VP of Engineering and built the product and engineering organization from the ground up, scaling the multi-hub international team 3x and helping the company reach a €60M Series C round.

Before Eye Security, Sinnema spent over three years at HackerOne, the world’s leading ethical hacking and bug bounty platform, rising to Director of Engineering. Earlier in his career, Sinnema founded and served as CTO of SmartLockr, a secure communications and privacy platform he bootstrapped, scaled across three countries, and took through Microsoft’s Ventures Accelerator in Berlin.

Building for Datamaran’s next chapter

“Bert has spent his career building engineering organizations from the ground up and scaling them through some of the most demanding environments, including as a founder himself. He knows firsthand what it takes to turn conviction into something real, and to keep adapting as the market evolves,” said Marjella Lecourt-Alma, CEO and co-founder of Datamaran. “As Datamaran evolves from ESG issue management into an AI-powered governance platform, Bert’s founder mindset and experience building teams, technology, and culture make him exactly the right leader to shape what comes next for our teams, customers, and partners.”

“I like to operate at the intersection of product engineering leadership and AI, where the hardest problems live, and the highest-leverage decisions get made,” said Sinnema. “Datamaran is applying AI to help organizations navigate a genuinely complex risk landscape, and I’m excited to bring my experience building and scaling engineering and product organizations to that mission. This is the most interesting time to be building in tech, and I’m looking forward to being in the middle of it with the team.”

Gupshup Launches Self-Serve Voice AI Platform, Extending Conversational Engagement into Phone Calls

Gupshup Launches Self-Serve Voice AI Platform, Extending Conversational Engagement into Phone Calls

Gupshup Logo

Businesses can now build, test, and deploy AI voice agents across support, sales, and operations – alongside WhatsApp, RCS, and SMS – from a single platform

Gupshup launched its Voice AI Platform, a self-serve console for building and running AI voice agents that handle calls end to end. The launch extends Gupshup’s engagement platform from messaging into voice, bringing support, sales, and operations onto the same infrastructure businesses use for WhatsApp, RCS, and SMS.

Gupshup’s Voice AI Platform resolves support calls, qualifies and converts leads, and automates operational calls such as scheduling, verification, and payment reminders, so human teams can focus on conversations that require a person.

The platform covers agent lifecycle in a no-code, prompt-based interface. Businesses configure an agent’s voice, language, knowledge base, system prompt, and workflows, then connect it to tools their teams use. Before going live, teams define guardrails, run simulations, and validate behaviour with tests – comparing models. Once deployed, analytics track success rates, satisfaction, and language usage, with transcripts, conversation history, and debug logs for review.

Gupshup’s platform is the first to bring unique capabilities. First, voice is a channel extension of a platform serving businesses across WhatsApp, RCS, and SMS – enabling voice-and-messaging experiences within a customer journey. Second, it supports telephony: PSTN and WhatsApp voice channels, on-premise and cloud deployment, and the option to bring PSTN infrastructure. Third, it is model-flexible – businesses choose speech-to-text, text-to-speech, and LLM providers rather than accepting a stack.

The platform builds on Gupshup’s experience powering customer engagement for 50,000+ businesses across 100+ countries and 25+ industries, processing 10 billion interactions monthly, including 500 million voice calls per month.

The Voice AI Platform has been beta tested and delivered outcomes across deployments. Users receive 100 minutes of credits to test, and pricing starts at USD 0.035 (INR 3.50) per minute.

“For customer engagement in emerging markets, Voice AI drives universal access – reaching every user regardless of language or literacy. In developed markets, it drives efficiency and automation. In both, it delivers cost savings, revenue growth, and satisfaction. With the launch of its Voice AI Platform alongside its messaging, Gupshup offers the only unified self-serve platform for customer engagement across voice and messaging,” said Beerud Sheth, Co-founder and CEO, Gupshup.

SMM Deal Finder Rebrands as Deeplead, Expanding AI-Powered Outreach to All B2B Sales Teams

SMM Deal Finder Rebrands as Deeplead, Expanding AI-Powered Outreach to All B2B Sales Teams

logo

The platform that helped social media agencies win clients now delivers verified data, AI-researched emails, and managed sending in one tool for any B2B market

SMM Deal Finder, the AI platform that helped social media marketing agencies find and win new clients, announced today that it has rebranded as Deeplead. The company now operates under a single brand at deeplead.io and serves agencies, startups, and sales teams of any size with an all-in-one platform for hyper-personalized outreach.

The rebrand reflects how customers already use the product. Launched in 2023 for one niche, SMM Deal Finder became the outreach engine for many kinds of B2B sales motions, from IT services and creative agencies to professional services and software companies. The Deeplead name matches that broader scope.

“Our customers stopped being only social media agencies a long time ago,” said Julian Wagner, founder of Deeplead. “Deeplead is the name for what they were already doing with us: finding the right companies and writing every email as if a person had researched it.”

Most B2B sales teams assemble their outreach from several separate subscriptions: a contact database, an email verification service, a sending tool, inbox warmup, and a copywriting assistant. Each adds cost, setup time, and a point of failure. Deeplead combines these functions in one platform:

– Verified B2B data included. Business and contact data comes from Deeplead’s own business-location data infrastructure and a licensed data partner, verified to 99% deliverability, with no separate data credits.
– A unique AI-researched email for every recipient instead of merge-tag templates. The system reads publicly available information about each company and writes a message specific to it.
– Managed inboxes and warmup, so campaigns run without a dedicated operations hire.
– AI Deal Explorer, which surfaces companies showing buying intent, with budget estimates, refreshed every 30 minutes.
– Replies unified in one inbox, mobile reply notifications, and CRM integrations.

“The expensive part of outbound was never the sending. It was the research nobody had time to do,” Wagner said. “Deeplead does that research for every single recipient, and the data underneath is verified before an email goes out.”

Deeplead is available self-serve, month to month, with a 7-day trial. Plans start at $37 per month. A done-for-you service is available for teams that want Deeplead to run campaigns on their behalf.

Existing SMM Deal Finder customers keep their accounts, campaigns, and data. They now log in at deeplead.io. No action is required beyond updating bookmarks.

Orange Marketing Earns A+ Rating from Better Business Bureau®

Orange Marketing Earns A+ Rating from Better Business Bureau®

HubSpot Diamond Partner’s Highest BBB Rating Reflects Its Commitment to Transparency and Responsible Client Service

Orange Marketing, a top-10 HubSpot Diamond Partner that helps B2B companies and nonprofits grow through demand generation, CRM automation, and AI-era marketing strategy, announced that it has earned an A+ rating from Better Business Bureau® (BBB®) Mountain West & Pacific Southwest.

Truth isn’t something you claim, it’s something a third party has to confirm. An A+ from the BBB says exactly that: clients and partners can take us at our word. ”

— Rebecca Gonzalez, CEO, Orange Marketing

BBB assigns ratings from A+ to F based on information it obtains about a business, including factors such as complaint history, time in business, transparency, and advertising practices. A+ is BBB’s highest rating.

As a BBB Accredited Business, Orange Marketing has also committed to BBB’s Standards for Trust: build trust, advertise honestly, tell the truth, be transparent, honor promises, be responsive, safeguard privacy, and embody integrity.

The rating follows Orange Marketing’s recent Platinum Pinnacle Award for AI-Powered Marketing Innovation, which recognized the agency’s work helping B2B brands improve visibility in AI systems such as ChatGPT and Google AI Overviews. Together, the recognitions reinforce a central principle of the agency’s work: trust is something to demonstrate, not simply claim.

For B2B companies and nonprofits evaluating a marketing partner, the A+ rating offers an independent, third-party signal of Orange Marketing’s commitment to transparent business practices and responsive client service. Over the past two years, the agency has also developed tools to help B2B marketers improve how AI systems interpret and assess their digital presence.

The accreditation may be especially relevant to nonprofit organizations, whose boards and donors often expect vendors involved in fundraising, outreach, and constituent communications to demonstrate strong accountability and transparent practices.

“We ask our clients to be transparent with their customers and with the AI systems evaluating them,” said Rebecca Gonzalez, CEO of Orange Marketing. “It only made sense to hold ourselves to the same standard, and to have an outside organization confirm we’re meeting it.”

“An A+ rating isn’t about a single campaign or client win, it’s about whether our day-to-day processes hold up: how clearly we bill, how quickly we respond when a client raises a concern, how consistently we follow through on what we promised,” said Kirill Ougarov, Director of RevOps at Orange Marketing. “That’s exactly what RevOps is built to protect, so seeing it validated externally matters to us.”

Sigmira to Launch WooCommerce Product Customizer After Founder Tried Four Systems

Sigmira to Launch WooCommerce Product Customizer After Founder Tried Four Systems

Sigmira

Founder Quincy van der Ree developed the platform after encountering cost, reliability and maintenance issues across four customization solutions

After five years of running an engraving business and trying four separate product customization solutions, Quincy van der Ree will launch Sigmira on Sept. 14, a cloud-based platform for WooCommerce merchants selling personalized products.

Sigmira will allow shoppers to personalize products directly in an e-commerce store and preview their designs before ordering. Merchants will be able to configure customization options and pricing and receive completed customer designs for production.

Van der Ree has a background in IT and runs Mister Mojo, an engraving business in Amersfoort, the Netherlands. His experience with existing customization software eventually led to the development of Sigmira, which began in late 2024.

According to Van der Ree, each of the four systems presented a different challenge. Two older plugins were no longer actively maintained, leaving him to deal with bugs and compatibility issues as the surrounding software changed. Another system produced design exports that, in his experience, were not consistently reliable enough for his workflow. With another solution, costs increased with the value of the orders being processed.

“The problem wasn’t a missing feature,” Van der Ree said. “Each system solved something, but the work kept showing up somewhere else, whether in software costs, checking exports, maintenance or manual editing. I wanted customization software to remove work, not move it.”

Those experiences also influenced how Van der Ree approached usability. Sigmira was developed for both the merchant setting up personalized products and the customer creating them.

“Customization software has to work for both sides,” Van der Ree said. “The merchant has to be able to configure and manage it, while the customer has to understand how to use it. If either side needs constant workarounds, the software is adding complexity instead of removing it.”

Sigmira will run as a cloud-based service alongside WooCommerce. Merchants will continue to manage products and orders in WooCommerce, while Sigmira will handle the customization process.

The platform will also support workflow automation after an order is placed, including the ability to send completed design files automatically to services such as Dropbox.

Sigmira will use subscription pricing and will not take a percentage of a merchant’s order value. Plans will start at $24 per month when billed annually.

WooCommerce will be the first e-commerce platform supported by Sigmira. A Shopify integration is in development.

Globant Introduces MuleSoft AI Pod to Break through Integration Barriers and Scale Enterprise Agentic AI with Salesforce

Globant Introduces MuleSoft AI Pod to Break through Integration Barriers and Scale Enterprise Agentic AI with Salesforce

File:Globant Logo.svg - Wikimedia Commons

  • New delivery model helps reduce migration timelines from months to weeks combining specialized AI agents with human integration experts for secure, governed API-led connectivity at scale.

  • MuleSoft AI Pod is accessible through Glob.AI, Globant’s AI-native technology service model for delivering enterprise AI at scale.

Globant, a global company focused on driving enterprise reinvention through AI, introduced Salesforce’s MuleSoft AI Pod combining specialized AI agents with human experts to accelerate API-led connectivity and delivery. As AI initiatives become more complex, organizations need faster, more governed ways to connect the applications, data and workflows that power enterprise transformation.

Enterprises are under pressure to move agentic AI from experimentation to production, but disconnected systems and fragmented data remain a major barrier. MuleSoft AI Pod helps address that integration bottleneck by accelerating secure API-led connectivity, integration delivery and governed execution across initiatives of varying size and complexity. This AI Pod is accessible through Glob.AI, the new AI delivery model by Globant.

“As organizations look to scale Agentforce and other AI initiatives across the enterprise, integration and data readiness are becoming essential,” said Roland Berthelot, Global Head of Salesforce Studio at Globant. “MuleSoft helps establish the connectivity foundation that makes those initiatives possible. With MuleSoft AI Pod, Globant is helping customers scale integration delivery while maintaining the governance, security and expert oversight enterprise adoption requires.”

MuleSoft AI Pod is designed as flexible delivery teams that can be configured based on each customer’s integration roadmap, technical environment and delivery needs. Each pod brings together specialized AI agents for defined MuleSoft tasks with senior Globant experts who guide architecture, validate outputs and manage execution across API design, MuleSoft flow development, automated testing, governance and legacy modernization. Lean, Scaled and Advanced configurations are designed to support approximately six, up to 12 and up to 24 integration flows or APIs per month, respectively.

Benchmarks from current migration projects, internal pilots and delivery teams indicate the model can support measurable outcomes, including:

  • Up to 80% automation of manual integration tasks
  • 15–25% faster time-to-value and delivery cycles
  • 35% greater efficiency in solution design and development

Organizations running outdated integration platforms often face migration programs that require months of discovery, redesign and validation. This approach helps reduce migration timelines from months to weeks while preserving business logic and meeting enterprise governance standards. MuleSoft AI Pod provides a practical path to strengthen enterprise integration foundations, helping them modernize integration environments, improve delivery consistency and prepare their technology ecosystems for the next phase of AI-powered transformation.

MuleSoft AI Pod will be accessible through Glob.AI, Globant’s AI-native platform designed to help organizations access and manage AI Pods through a unified environment. Currently available through a waitlist, Glob.AI brings together specialized AI agents and Globant experts  to instantly deploy enterprise-grade AI services with transparent, output or consumption linked pricing, not per hours or per seat.

The offering builds on Globant’s 21+ years as a Salesforce partner, with more than 1,200 projects delivered and a customer satisfaction score of 4.7 out of 5. Globant brings together more than 27,400 technologists, including 2,000+ multi-cloud experts across 58 global Delivery Centers, and has implemented more than 20 Einstein AI and Agentforce projects. As a founding partner of the Agentforce Partner Network, Globant has more than 500 Agentforce Certified Experts and 200+ Salesforce Data 360 experts, and has been recognized by Salesforce as an Implementation Level Expert for Data Cloud, MuleSoft, and Agentforce.

Datamaran Rebrands, Shifting from ESG Issue Management to Enterprise Governance

Datamaran Rebrands, Shifting from ESG Issue Management to Enterprise Governance

Datamaran Logo

Datamaran unveils a new brand identity, reflecting its evolution into an AI-powered governance platform for the enterprise.

Datamaran announced a comprehensive rebrand, introducing a new visual identity, brand positioning, and website that reflect the company it has become: an AI-powered governance platform trusted by leading global enterprises.

For over 12 years, Datamaran’s product centered on ESG issue management. But boardroom priorities have shifted: regulatory complexity has intensified, and risks and opportunities, such as AI, trade policies, and supply chain, have moved from longer-term watchlist items to those demanding action now. Leadership teams are expected not just to report on non-financial topics but to defend those positions with evidence in real time. What was once a sustainability exercise has become a continuous governance and risk discipline, and Datamaran’s brand needed to reflect that.

“Two years ago, our customers were sustainability teams thinking about long-term value. Today, those issues have become immediate business risks, and we’re in the room with risk, legal, and senior leaders, because the questions they’re being asked have changed,” said Marjella Lecourt-Alma, CEO and co-founder of Datamaran. “Our product had evolved to meet that shift, but our brand hadn’t. This rebrand closes that gap. It’s the clearest expression yet of what Datamaran has always been building toward: giving leadership teams a defensible, evidence-based way to govern the risks that truly matter.”

A brand built on new market norms

The new identity moves away from the sustainability-sector visual language Datamaran launched with, introducing a design system built around signals, evidence, and continuous monitoring, the same principles that define the product itself. The refreshed website, live today, reorganizes Datamaran’s story around governance use cases, replacing sustainability-first messaging with language built for risk, legal, and executive audiences.

The shift reflects a broader market reality: the range of emerging risks and opportunities has broadened, and so have the teams responsible for managing them. In nearly one in three active deals today, a General Counsel or Chief Risk Officer sits at the table alongside the sustainability lead.

“Sustainability work hasn’t gone away; it’s moved,” said Nick Geurds, Chief Revenue Officer at Datamaran. “Today, General Counsel, Chief Risk Officers, and other senior leaders sit at the table in nearly a third of our deals, needing a defensible, data-driven process, not a sustainability dashboard. This rebrand gives our commercial team a story that matches who we’re actually selling to and the value we bring, giving prospects a faster way to recognize that Datamaran belongs in the governance conversation.”

Videowise Launches AI Visibility to Make User Generated Content Visible to AI

Videowise Launches AI Visibility to Make User Generated Content Visible to AI

Videowise Logo

The new AEO and GEO suite turns TikTok, Instagram, and UGC videos into structured, hyper-optimized content that ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Google Gemini can cite. Launching exclusively for Shopify brands.

Videowise, the video commerce and conversion platform used by more than 4,000 brands, announced AI Visibility, a new solution built to make a brand’s user generated video content readable, citable, and rankable by large language models. The launch includes two products: AEO (Answer Engine Optimization) and YouTube GEO (Generative Engine Optimization). Videowise has been a pioneer of shoppable video for ecommerce since 2020. With AI Visibility, it is opening a new frontier: making a brand’s user generated video content finally visible for AI engines.

DTC brands are sitting on thousands of authentic UGC videos that are completely invisible to LLMs.

Shoppers increasingly start with AI answers instead of search results. The most persuasive brand content, short-form video on TikTok and Instagram, creator reviews, and UGC, is mostly invisible to AI engines. AI Visibility closes that gap. Videowise extracts and analyzes both audio and image, frame by frame, using vector video search, and turns every video into content AI engines can read, cite, and rank.

With AEO, Videowise builds a UGC Wiki on the brand’s own store: an authentic generated content wiki made of questions & answers drawn from hyper-optimized, structured information from real customer and creator videos. At a time when AI-generated fake UGC is flooding the internet, Videowise takes the opposite position with AGC (authentic generated content). This is the voice of real people, and every piece of it is aligned with the brand’s SEO and AI search visibility strategy. Through social listening, brands can also cite positive third-party videos that mention them, with attribution and links back to the original creators.

With YouTube GEO, Videowise uses clips from a brand’s existing video content to create new hyper-optimized YouTube videos with LLM-optimized metadata, all aligned with the brand’s visibility strategy. YouTube is one of the most cited sources in AI answers, especially by Gemini and now brands can take full advantage of this in a seamless way.

“DTC brands are sitting on hundreds, sometimes thousands, of authentic UGC videos that are completely invisible to LLMs,” said Claudiu Cioba, founder and CEO of Videowise. “All those real voices, and AI can’t hear a single one. We built Videowise AI Visibility to change that, not with AI-generated fake UGC, but with real people and real videos.”

The launch extends what Videowise already does best: turning video into revenue. As a conversion rate optimization engine, Videowise drives on average 5-35% conversion uplift for DTC brands. Skullcandy saw a 7.9% increase in revenue per session using UGC with Videowise. AI Visibility takes that same authentic content upstream, to the moment shoppers ask AI what to buy.

ShipToBox.com Builds the Future of Global Shopping Commerce Through Intelligent Automation

Shop U.S. retailers, save on costs, consolidate purchases, access one-checkout convenience, and receive deliveries worldwide through ShipToBox.com

ShipToBox.com, an award-winning technology company transforming global shopping commerce through intelligent automation, today announced the continued expansion of its global commerce technology, helping consumers and businesses access products from U.S. retailers through a simplified shopping, purchasing, delivery, and financial experience across the United States and more than 220 countries and territories.

Consumers can shop thousands of U.S. stores, but checkout, payments, and delivery remain fragmented. ShipToBox.com simplifies global shopping through one intelligent experience.”

— ShipToBox.com

As e-commerce continues to grow worldwide, millions of consumers and businesses still face barriers when shopping online. Many retailers do not ship internationally, require separate registrations and checkouts, charge high shipping costs, or provide limited payment options. Even within the United States, shoppers often purchase from multiple websites and must manage separate carts, checkouts, payments, deliveries, and customer service interactions.

ShipToBox.com was built to eliminate those barriers.

Powered by intelligent automation and advanced commerce technology with leading global partners, ShipToBox.com delivers a unified shopping and financial experience. The platform connects customers with thousands of U.S. retailers while providing secure payments, package consolidation, shipment management, and domestic and worldwide delivery options through leading carriers including FedEx, DHL, and UPS.

“Consumers can shop Amazon, Walmart, eBay, Nike, Macy’s, Apple, and thousands of other websites, but they still have to create multiple accounts, complete separate checkouts, manage different payments, and track packages across multiple systems,” said Mike Ulker, CEO of ShipToBox.com. “Our vision is to make global shopping as simple as domestic shopping. ShipToBox.com gives customers one place to shop, buy, pay, consolidate purchases, and manage deliveries while helping them save time and money.”

Unlike traditional retailers, ShipToBox.com does not manufacture products or operate transportation networks. Instead, the company serves as a technology-driven commerce marketplace connecting global consumers and businesses with U.S. brands, merchants, payment providers, and delivery partners.

The platform provides customers with a U.S. shopping address, one-checkout purchasing experiences, Buy For Me services, package consolidation, secure payment solutions, flexible delivery options, shipment tracking, and global fulfillment capabilities. By combining multiple purchases into fewer deliveries and providing access to competitive carrier pricing, customers can reduce costs while improving convenience.

By simplifying purchasing, delivery management, and international commerce, the company enables customers to focus on buying the products they want rather than navigating complex fulfillment processes.

U.S. retailers and consumer brands

E-commerce merchants
Manufacturers and wholesalers
Influencers and affiliate marketers

Canva Expands Its Productivity Bet With 100+ Visual Suite Upgrades

Canva Expands Its Productivity Bet With 100+ Visual Suite Upgrades

Canva Logo

  • Canva has emerged as a major player in workplace productivity, with 100 million people using Canva Presentations each month, making it one of the top three tools used to create presentations.

  • Today marks Canva’s 100th Visual Suite upgrade since the start of 2026, a pace of nearly one every other day across Docs, Presentations, Sheets, Whiteboards and Video. The upgrades collectively deliver more than 55,000 wishes from the Canva community.

  • More than one billion designs are now created on Canva each month, including nearly 1,000 docs, 3,000 presentations, and 5,000 social media posts created every minute.

Canva, the visual communication platform used by hundreds of millions of people, has quietly become one of the world’s most widely used productivity suites, with more than 100 million people now using Canva Presentations each month and Canva Docs adoption more than tripling over the past three years.

More than one billion designs are now created on Canva each month

The company is now doubling down on its productivity bet, with today’s releases taking Canva past 100 upgrades to Docs, Presentations, Sheets, Whiteboards and Video since the start of 2026. More than one billion designs are now created on Canva every month, as people increasingly use the platform for everyday work, from documents and presentations to planning, data and collaboration.

“When we launched the Visual Suite, we were planting the seeds for a very different way of working, and a few years later those seeds have grown into a mighty forest. We’re incredibly proud to see Canva becoming one of the most widely used productivity suites in the world, as people bring more of their everyday work into Canva. Today marks our 100th new feature launch this year alone, a pace of nearly one Visual Suite upgrade every other day. As we often say, we still feel like we’re only 1% of the way there, and we’re just getting started.”

– Cameron Adams, Canva Co-Founder and Chief Product Officer

A new Visual Suite upgrade nearly every other day


The latest upgrades go deeper across the Visual Suite, making Docs, Presentations, Sheets, Whiteboards and Video more capable while keeping the same simple Canva experience across every format. Together, they represent more than 55,000 wishes from the Canva community, from small improvements that make everyday work easier to bigger upgrades that unlock entirely new possibilities.

Canva Docs, launched just under four years ago, has quickly become Canva’s third-most popular design type, with nearly 1,000 documents now being created every minute. Canva Presentations, the company’s fastest-growing design type, is moving even faster, with nearly 3,000 created every minute. More than 98% of the Fortune 500 now run their work on Canva, with enterprise adoption more than doubling year over year.

“Canva has become the globally distributed source of truth for our self-serve design system. By meeting users where they already work, we’ve empowered hundreds of marketers to create everything from ePublications and social ads to event promotions. Our small design team can now focus on building and evolving the system, not designing every pixel. Canva is foundational to how we scale design across Docusign worldwide.”

– Corey Pomkoski, Senior Director, Brand & Creative Operations at Docusign

One place for the whole project


Most productivity suites still treat a whiteboard, document, spreadsheet, and presentation as separate files. As organisations look to cut software sprawl, Canva is seeing growing demand for a single platform to run entire projects.

No matter what stage of the project you’re at, everything sits inside the same Visual Suite, with a familiar Canva interface across every format, real-time collaboration, and content, data and brand all kept together. Instead of paying for multiple subscriptions and learning a collection of different tools, teams can move through an entire project without ever leaving Canva: an idea starts on a Whiteboard, becomes a brief in Docs, pulls insights from Sheets, and evolves into a Presentation, all within the same design.

Businesses are increasingly working this way too. More than a quarter of a billion multi-format designs have been created since the new Canva format launched last year, with teams going beyond design and increasingly using Canva to plan, organize, measure and deliver their work. 

What’s new in the Visual Suite 


In response to growing demand, Canva is rolling out fresh updates across every part of the Visual Suite:

Docs have become a complete tool for everything from briefs to reports and proposals. Canva is taking the modern workplace essential a step further with richer visual layouts and more professional formatting controls. New full-page designs let teams break beyond traditional text layouts with immersive, edge-to-edge visuals, while automatic page breaks and expanded styles turn a working doc into a polished, presentation-ready document.

Sheets make it easier to turn data into something useful and shareable. New AI capabilities can analyse data and transform it into polished charts and tables ready for Presentations and Docs, while improvements to filtering and organisation make complex projects easier to manage and share.

Whiteboards are faster and more interactive for collaborative planning and brainstorming. Streamlined panning and mobile pasting make it easy to navigate the Infinite Canvas, while Follow Collaborators lets teams jump straight to where someone else is working and one-click reactions make it easy to give feedback and make decisions in real time. When it’s time to turn the thinking into action, Whiteboards can turn into a Presentation or Doc with just one click.

Presentations now make it easier to go from building the deck to delivering it. New tools help presenters prepare as well as create, with an estimated presenting timer to plan pacing, one-click presenting to go live instantly, and automatically generated presenter notes that turn a finished deck into ready-to-use talking points.

Websites are becoming more powerful, with nearly one million published every month. New navigation supports richer sites with up to 20 sections, while SEO, domain controls and expanded buttons give teams more control. Canva Code is pushing what’s possible even further, with more than six million coded websites created to date.

Working beyond the laptop 


Canva’s productivity growth is increasingly mobile, reflecting how work happens across many of its fastest-growing markets. More than half of Canva Presentations created in Southeast Asia start on a mobile device, rising to nearly two in three in Indonesia and three in five in the Philippines. Across the Visual Suite, more than half of users work on mobile, with mobile adoption of Canva Websites growing fastest.

Workato and Lenovo Announce Strategic Collaboration to Expand Lenovo Qira’s Cross-App Capabilities

Workato and Lenovo Announce Strategic Collaboration to Expand Lenovo Qira's Cross-App Capabilities

Workato Logo

Workato provides the integration and execution capabilities that help Lenovo Qira connect with applications and services through natural language

Workato®, the leading Control and Execution Platform for Enterprise AI, and Lenovo™ announced their strategic collaboration to support the continued evolution of Lenovo Qira, Lenovo’s Personal Ambient Intelligence, which is actively expanding across Lenovo’s device lineup. Through this collaboration, Workato is helping expand Lenovo Qira’s ability to execute workflows across multiple applications.

Lenovo Qira is Lenovo’s built-in, cross-device personal AI system designed to work seamlessly across compatible Lenovo PCs, tablets, and Motorola smartphones. With this collaboration, Lenovo Qira supports agentic workflows, meaning it can interpret a user request and, where required, ask for approval before using approved connectors to complete the requested action. Lenovo Qira is expanding across select productivity and collaboration apps, including Gmail, Google Calendar, Outlook Mail, Outlook Calendar, Slack, Microsoft Teams, and Google Contacts.

As AI evolves from answering questions to taking action, securely orchestrating workflows across connected applications becomes increasingly important. Workato helps enable governed, multi-step execution across connected applications, allowing users to send an email, book a meeting, update a record through natural language. Actions are designed to require appropriate permissions and approvals where applicable, helping Lenovo Qira securely carry out user-requested actions across connected applications.

“We’re truly excited to partner with Lenovo to help expand Lenovo Qira as a personal, ambient, and intelligent assistant across their hundreds of millions of devices,” said Bhaskar Roy, Chief of AI at Workato. “It takes a control and execution plane to reach across every app, device, and user, turn intent into governed action, and do it at production scale. That’s what Workato’s Enterprise MCP delivers, and it’s why Lenovo chose us to help power Lenovo Qira’s cross-app experiences.”

The solution is built around three core principles:

  • Connect once, access everything: Sign in once to approved apps and Lenovo Qira can work across compatible Lenovo devices, subject to user permissions and connector availability.
  • Asks before acting: When Lenovo Qira takes action on your behalf, whether to send an email or book a meeting, it requests user approval where required.
  • Native by design: Workato’s MCP registry is integrated with Lenovo Qira to help enable seamless cross-app experiences, so every action feels like part of the product, never a bolt-on.

This expansion is part of a broader wave of enterprise customers deploying Workato to power their agentic AI products. With a control and execution platform and AI orchestration at its core, Workato enables enterprises and device makers to ship agentic capabilities across any app stack, with enterprise-grade governance, without rebuilding integration infrastructure from scratch.

“Lenovo Qira is our commitment to making AI personal. It is a productivity engine woven into every device our customers use,” said Dan Dery, Vice President of AI Ecosystem, Lenovo. “With Workato, we are expanding Lenovo Qira with the control, action, and trust needed to deliver seamless experiences across tools and platforms, without asking users to stitch things together themselves.”

The Workato-powered Lenovo Qira experience is already available to eligible Lenovo Qira users on compatible devices.

ClosedCast Launches Human Video Archive Initiative to Preserve Real-Life Video

ClosedCast Launches Human Video Archive Initiative to Preserve Real-Life Video

ClosedCast Logo

Private video company highlights why authentic family, community and organizational recordings gain value as synthetic media becomes easier to create.

As artificial intelligence makes it easier to generate synthetic video, ClosedCast today announced its Human Video Archive Initiative, an effort focused on preserving real-life recordings before meaningful video becomes scattered, inaccessible or lost.

AI can create infinite video. Human history is finite.”

— Jay Christian, Founder, ClosedCast

The initiative centers on a simple idea:

AI can create infinite video. Human history is finite.

ClosedCast says the recordings people already have — family memories, sermons, sports, training, interviews, community events and organizational history — carry value precisely because they document people, places and moments that actually existed.

“Generative AI can recreate an image, invent a scene or simulate a voice,” said Jay Christian, founder of ClosedCast. “But it cannot recreate the actual afternoon your children learned to ride bikes, the stories your grandfather told, twenty years of a church’s ministry, or the people and experiences that shaped an organization. Once those recordings are lost, they are irreplaceable.”

The initiative also draws attention to what ClosedCast calls the Archive Problem: important recordings accumulate across phones, old computers, cloud folders, hard drives, social platforms and forgotten accounts. The videos may still exist, but over time they can become increasingly difficult to find, organize and revisit.

Rather than approaching the growth of synthetic media solely as an authentication problem, ClosedCast is focusing on preservation: helping people keep the finite record of real life accessible.

ClosedCast turns scattered recordings into a private video archive built around controlled access, organization and repeat viewing. Archive owners can organize meaningful videos, choose who can watch them, and stream their collections through the web or Roku.

“ClosedCast is built for archives, not algorithms,” Christian said. “In a world capable of generating unlimited media, we want to help protect the recordings that have meaning precisely because they cannot happen again.”

Consumers and organizations can explore the experience through the ClosedCast Test Drive, a live, read-only sample archive that can be viewed without creating an account.

ClosedCast also publishes the Video Requirements Calculator, based on VNAS — the Video Needs Assessment Standard — a requirements-first framework for comparing video hosting, streaming, cloud storage, OTT and self-hosted solutions. The calculator helps users evaluate which type of video platform best fits their requirements before choosing a provider.

UiPath, Inc. Logo

Hitesh Ramani Promoted to Chief Financial Officer

Brad Brubaker Named Chief Legal & Administrative Officer

Appoints Yazdi Bagli to Board of Directors

UiPath, Inc., a leader in business orchestration and automation, announced a series of changes to its executive leadership team, along with the appointment of Yazdi Bagli to its Board of Directors.

The changes reflect UiPath’s continued momentum and strengthen the leadership team to support the Company’s next phase of growth as the Company scales its business orchestration and automation platform.

  • Hitesh Ramani Promoted to Chief Financial Officer – Hitesh Ramani joined UiPath in 2021 as Chief Accounting Officer (CAO) and expanded his role to Deputy Chief Financial Officer in 2024. In his expanded role as UiPath Chief Financial Officer, Hitesh will lead the company’s global financial and accounting organization. He has more than 25 years of accounting and finance leadership experience, including two decades at Deloitte, where he was a partner serving large SEC registrants and private equity portfolio companies.
  • Ashim Gupta to Continue as Chief Operating Officer – With Ramani’s promotion to CFO, Ashim Gupta will retain his role as Chief Operating Officer, where he will focus exclusively on the day-to-day operations of the company, driving greater discipline and consistency across our go-to-market organization, strengthening execution across functions, and leading key strategic priorities across the business. Gupta joined UiPath in 2018 as Chief Customer Success Officer, and was named Chief Financial Officer in 2019, leading the company through its 2021 initial public offering and taking on the additional role of Chief Operating Officer in 2024. Prior to joining UiPath, Gupta spent nearly two decades at General Electric in senior finance leadership roles, including CFO of GE Water.
  • Brad Brubaker Named Chief Legal & Administrative Officer – Brad Brubaker has been named Chief Legal & Administrative Officer, an expansion of his current position as Chief Legal Officer and General Counsel. In this role, Brubaker will now also oversee the company’s People Organization; UiPath Chief People Officer Agi Garaba will continue to lead the company’s People organization, including HR and talent, reporting into Brubaker. Brubaker joined UiPath in 2019 after spending more than 25 years at SAP, most recently as General Counsel of SAP’s Global Field Legal organization, leading a team of more than 300 legal professionals across 20 countries.

“As our business has grown, we’ve increasingly focused on execution as a growth driver—for our product roadmap, our business, and ultimately, customer success,” said Daniel Dines, UiPath Founder and Chief Executive Officer. “Our planned leadership changes are a logical next step for our team, reflect the strength and depth of our leadership bench, and position us to operate with even greater speed and accountability. Ashim, Hitesh, and Brad have each played critical roles in building UiPath into the company it is today, and I’m excited for their continued leadership as we execute against the significant opportunity ahead of us in business orchestration and automation.”

In addition, UiPath appointed Yazdi Bagli to its Board of Directors, effective today. Bagli is Executive Vice President, IT and Enterprise Business Services at Kaiser Permanente (and currently on a leave of absence while pursuing a fellowship at Harvard University). Prior to beginning his fellowship, Bagli led Kaiser Permanente’s IT function and a broad portfolio of enterprise functions and shared services, reporting directly to Kaiser Permanente’s chair and CEO and sitting on its National Executive Team. He joined Kaiser Permanente in 2020 from Walmart, where he led enterprise business services and shared IT functions, and previously spent more than 20 years at Procter & Gamble in global IT and business transformation leadership roles across four countries. Bagli holds a bachelor’s degree in electrical engineering from Shivaji University and an MBA from the University of Mumbai and completed the IT Strategy executive education program at Harvard Business School.

Added Dines, “I’m thrilled to have someone with Yazdi’s deep technology leadership expertise and large-scale operational discipline join our Board. His experience leading enterprise IT and shared services transformation at organizations like Kaiser Permanente, Walmart and P&G gives him a clear-eyed view of what it takes to modernize how large enterprises operate—exactly the perspective we want as we help our customers put AI agents to work at scale.”

Independent Study quantified 474% ROI from Huwise data product marketplace

Independent Study quantified 474% ROI from Huwise data product marketplace

Huwise logo

Independent Total Economic Impact study conducted by Forrester Consulting on behalf of Huwise identifies payback in under six months

Deploying a data product marketplace solution from Huwise delivered 474% ROI, payback in under 6 months and $6.5 million in net present value over three years for a 10,000 employee company. These are the topline findings of a Total Economic Impact™ (TEI) study conducted by Forrester Consulting and commissioned by Huwise. Huwise’s data product marketplace delivered these benefits by ensuring data adoption and confident data consumption at scale by business teams and AI. This accelerates data reuse and provides value at scale.

Forrester Consulting’s TEI demonstrates how Huwise’s data product marketplace delivers ROI of $4.74 for every dollar invested, greater business impact, improved productivity and increased agility.”

— Franck Carassus, CSO and co-founder of Huwise

Quantifiable benefits identified in the independent study for a composite 10,000 employee company over three years were:
● 50% reduction in time business users spent searching for data, improving productivity and delivering $4.5 million in savings
● 50% reduction in data preparation time for data experts, saving 3 days per month, per person. This equates to $3.0 million in savings
● 4x reduction in duplicated work through sharing of governed data products, saving 10 days per year, per data expert. This frees up time for higher-value work, as well as saving $223,000
● 720 hours per year saved for IT, with self-service data access dramatically cutting requests for data reports, and tool consolidation cutting license costs by 50%. This totals $111,000 in savings

Alongside these financial gains, Huwise also delivered non-quantifiable benefits by turning data into business impact. It increases value from existing data investments by providing a data foundation for agentic AI deployments, enabling accessibility, strengthening user engagement and data culture and boosting organizational agility.

Franck Carassus, Chief Sales Officer and Co-founder of Huwise said:
“Organizations face key obstacles in scaling data usage and value to the wider business and AI. They have to overcome fragmented data landscapes, low trust in data from business users, limited visibility, a lack of data reuse, and slow, IT-driven data access that does not scale. Forrester Consulting’s TEI demonstrates how Huwise’s data product marketplace resolves these challenges and delivered ROI of $4.74 for every dollar invested. For a 10,000 employee organization, that’s a 474% return, with payback in under six months. Benefits aren’t just financial – by centralizing data, Huwise makes it easily available through secure self-service and delivers greater business impact, improved productivity and increased agility.”

Forrester Consulting’s TEI is based on interviews with four Huwise customers from the banking & finance, insurance, technology and energy & utilities sectors. These findings were aggregated and combined into a single composite organization with 10,000 global employees.

Built on over 15 years of experience, and based on an intuitive, e-commerce marketplace-style experience, Huwise’s data product marketplace solution is designed to increase data consumption and value. It enables organizations and their employees to provide secure, compliant self-service access to data in the right formats to deliver usage by both humans and AI.
Tangible benefits and measurable business impact
Customers interviewed for the TEI outlined the benefits they are receiving:

● VP of Enterprise Data & Analytics, Enterprise Software: “Huwise helps us focus on productivity and trust. Someone can assemble an analysis in an hour that used to take a week because the data is already available.”
● Chief Data Officer, Financial Services: “With Huwise, users can explore the data without coding and technical expertise. It gives more autonomy to end users….”
● VP of Enterprise Data & Analytics, Enterprise Software: “We retired 278 dashboards… and expect to take about $10 million of cost out of the old environment.”
● IoT & Smart Sensors Data Lead, Energy & Utilities: “We managed to reduce our dependence on IT, and saved time and money by using some features directly on the Huwise platform.”

TapClicks Webinar: ‘Never Miss an At-Risk Account, Renewal, or Upsell Signal Again’

TapClicks Webinar: 'Never Miss an At-Risk Account, Renewal, or Upsell Signal Again'

TapClicks Logo

TapClicks, the leader in Smart Marketing solutions, announces a free online webinar, “Never Miss an At-Risk Account, Renewal, or Upsell Signal Again.” This webinar is for agencies, media companies, and brands who need to efficiently manage their clients, accounts and products to optimize revenues. It will be of special interest to sales and sales engineering teams, revenue operations leaders, and agency executives.

The question is, if some marketing clients or accounts have a performance issue, or are a renewal risk, or would profit from an upsell opportunity today, would the right person on your team know about it? Would your team be ready to act on it, with the right story?

For most agency and media teams today, it’s not a matter of having enough data. All the data needed, and more, is probably available. The problem is understanding what to do with it. It’s actually a decision and action problem. The insights the team needs to make decisions, and take action, are buried in the data, perhaps distributed in multiple, fragmented dashboards and CRM notes. Someone has to find it, analyze it, interpret it, build the client story, and then make sure the agency sales and customer success teams can access it when they need it.

This webinar shows a better, automated way to immediately know which clients are performing well, which are ready to grow, and which may be heading for the exit. TapClicks will present a single, actionable view that executives, sales, and customer support teams can leverage to confront client issues before they become problems.

What: “Never Miss an At-Risk Account, Renewal, or Upsell Signal Again.”
When: September 15, 2026 11:00 AM PT / 2:00 PM ET.
Format: Free, online 40-minute live webinar, with real TapClicks workflows and customer case studies.
Register here: https://tapclicks.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_uteO-P-lRJK9iULdyfvw7w

In this TapClicks webinar, marketers, agencies and brands will see the latest in client retention intelligence, within a practical framework, using existing data. It covers:

• How to use pre-defined agents to automatically catch at-risk accounts, renewal red flags, and upsell opportunities.
• Building custom agents around the exact signals that matter to your book of business.
• Turning raw signals into a client-ready story with reporting automation, with no manual build required.
• How to deliver the right insight to the right sales or customer support representatives automatically, before the window closes.
