Modernising publishing workflows for performance and agility

In publishing, speed, discoverability and user experience define success. Yet many organisations still rely on workflows built for another era. Monolithic CMSs, tightly coupled front ends and manual production steps don’t just slow teams down. They limit innovation and make change expensive.

AI, capital, and compliance: mapping Fintech startup momentum

Raising capital is just one part of the equation. For fintech founders in 2025, the real challenge lies in building products that are not only fast and secure, but also AI-native and regulatory-ready from day one.

For private equity sponsors, the deal close used to signal the start of a new chapter. Now, it marks the beginning of a sprint. The pace of activity in 2025 has intensified: U.S. deal value topped $838.5 billion last year, and global figures are on track to hit $1 trillion. European PE deal value also rose strongly in 2024 and shows cautious but positive momentum into 2025. But the path to value has become anything but straightforward.

AI in scientific publishing - a turning point for platform builders

Generative AI has moved from the margins of academic publishing into its core infrastructure. Tools like large language models are now widely used by researchers to assist with writing, translation, and formatting. At the same time, these technologies are being misused to produce low-quality or misleading content at scale. Recent analyses reveal the scale of this shift: in biomedical publishing alone, more than 13% of 2024 abstracts likely involved AI-generated language, based on identifiable stylistic patterns.

How mature telcos can streamline without losing stability

In an industry where reliability is non-negotiable, large telecom companies often find themselves trapped in a paradox. While they’ve mastered scale and uptime, they struggle to shed the architectural weight of decades-old platforms, duplicated systems, and legacy workflows. As demand grows for more agile, customer-focused services, the pressure to modernize mounts, without triggering alarms in the network operations center.
