PAGCOR’s agency-wide orientation on Microsoft Copilot on 30 September represented a decisive, education-first pivot: teach staff how to use AI assistants for routine productivity while making governance, data protection and human oversight non‑negotiable features of any rollout. The online...

Theta Lake’s latest AI Governance and Inspection Suite brings capture, inspection, and retention controls tailored to generative assistants — explicitly calling out Microsoft Copilot and Zoom AI Companion — promising to close a fast-growing compliance gap for regulated organisations that are...

Principled Technologies’ recent press materials argue that adopting a single‑cloud approach for AI on Microsoft Azure can produce measurable gains in performance, manageability, and cost predictability — but those headline claims come with important caveats and require careful validation before...

A new Principled Technologies (PT) study — circulated as a press release and picked up by partner outlets — argues that adopting a single‑cloud approach for AI on Microsoft Azure can produce concrete benefits in performance, manageability, and cost predictability, while also leaving room for...

Bonfy.AI’s latest update to its Adaptive Content Security platform lands squarely in the intersection of AI adoption and enterprise security, expanding native integrations across Microsoft 365 and positioning an AI-first approach to Data Loss Prevention that specifically targets risks introduced...

Microsoft is rolling Copilot from an optional add‑on into a default part of the Microsoft 365 experience — automatically installing the Microsoft 365 Copilot app on Windows devices that already have Microsoft 365 desktop clients — a background rollout Microsoft says will begin in Fall 2025 and...

Water is the most energy‑efficient medium for removing heat from servers, but rising scarcity and regulatory pressure mean data center designers can no longer treat freshwater as an unlimited resource; engineers must now balance the raw thermodynamic advantages of water with aggressive...

Windows 10 will stop receiving free security fixes on October 14, 2025 — and if your PC can’t take the free Windows 11 upgrade, you have five realistic paths forward: enroll in Extended Security Updates (ESU), buy or rent a new Windows 11 PC (including cloud PCs), perform an unsupported upgrade...

The countdown to October 14, 2025 has turned what once felt like a routine product lifecycle event into a corporate boardroom dilemma: continue to run a mature, widely deployed operating system with mounting security and compliance risks, or expend capital and operational bandwidth to migrate...

As organizations race to exploit generative AI and broaden their third‑party ecosystems, a startling pattern is emerging: mass adoption without adequate visibility is creating a cascade of security, compliance, and financial risks that many firms are poorly equipped to handle. New survey data...

Artificial intelligence has gone from boardroom buzzword to an urgent operational question: executives know AI matters, but too many organisations are frozen at the starting line — unsure how to prioritise use cases, estimate costs, or keep data and compliance under control. Chris Badenhorst of...

The last six weeks have crystallised a new reality for corporate sustainability in the Asia‑Pacific: regulators and standard‑setters are pushing to make climate and sustainability disclosures more consistent, but they are also practically tempering timelines and adding implementation scaffolding...

As the calendar races toward October 14, 2025, a striking and inconvenient truth has emerged: a very large portion of the global PC installed base is still running Windows 10, even as Microsoft prepares to stop issuing free security updates and feature patches for that OS. PC makers, market...

Klinikum Landsberg am Lech has cut the time clinicians spend on paperwork dramatically by using an Azure OpenAI–based transcription and documentation pipeline that captures clinical conversations in real time and pushes structured notes directly into the hospital information system. Background...
