NetSuite also announced the general availability of the NetSuite Integration Platform.

Product

FourKites has launched Loft. Loft is an AI-native platform that orchestrates Digital Workers (AI Agents) across Enterprise systems. At the core of the new platform is a new Agentic AI agent, Sophie. Rather than being a digital worker that fits within the business, Sophie is an AI developer agent that will help FourKites customers transform operational processes. Users can describe business processes in natural language.

Sparq has announced the launch of Sparq Intelligence Studio. It helps organisations operationalise the data and AI within their core systems.

Research

Azul has released its State of Java 2026 report (registration required), which delivers mixed news about the future of Java. Oracle’s pricing policy continues to drive a move to OpenJDK, the rise of AI for coding Java, and a move away from public cloud to reduce costs are among the big issues. But it is the nuance around these that tells a wider story.

Cybage Software

The Cybage team helped to streamline system reliability for a travel technology company using generate AI. It developed a production-grade, AI-powered L3 chatbot to improve the support team’s turnaround time. Using existing Rally tickets as a knowledge base. The team enabled Single Sign-On (SSO). And built a conversational support experience with a third-party connector to secure authentication and unify access across the system.

It also deployed the solution within the client’s environment using a robust, scalable architecture. To meet performance, security, and operational reliability requirements.

The results were impressive, with a 50% reduction achieved in analysis time for repetitive tickets by L2 and L3 teams through streamlined processes and faster identification of similar historical issues. Significant decrease in turnaround time (TAT) for recurring incidents, allowing faster resolution and improved operational efficiency. 30% reduction in the number of logged tickets by deflecting repetitive issues through improved knowledge reuse.

Deel

MoonPay and Deel have partnered to expand stablecoin salary payouts for workers around the world. Thus, building stablecoin conversion and payout infrastructure into its payroll experience.

Powered by Iron (by MoonPay), this supports compliant salary payments delivered directly to users’ non-custodial crypto wallets.

The rollout begins next month, initially supporting workers based in the UK and the EU. Expanding to the US in a second phase.

Epicor

City Distribution

Epicor published a customer story about how City Distribution is leveraging Epicor21 to address the challenges it faced. City Distribution knew it needed a modern ERP platform to support day-to-day operations and long-term growth. After evaluating solutions from Epicor and Kerridge, the company selected Prophet 21, a cloud-based solution. The decision largely came down to relationships, continuity, and cost.

Vicky Begg, General Manager City Distribution explained, “We had a long-standing history with Epicor and knew the existing support team would support our migration to Epicor Prophet 21. From a financial perspective, it just made sense as we’re a small, family-run business and need to make every investment work.”

With Prophet 21, City Distribution has an ERP foundation to support long-term growth in a highly competitive market. Begg added, “We know there are competitors trying to edge their way into customers’ showrooms and so we are using technology to stand apart—bringing efficiency and accuracy across all areas of the business.”

The Epicor Prism Reasoning Agent

Epicor revealed details of the Epicor Prism Reasoning Agent, a new feature for Epicor Prism. The Epicor Prism Reasoning Agent brings deeper analytical reasoning to that system of record. So you can draw explanations and next steps from your ERP and supporting documents — all within the same workflow.

Epicor Prism’s Reasoning Agent can interpret multiple file types and combine them with live ERP data. Thus eliminating the need to manually stitch together spreadsheets, PDFs, and screenshots.
