A lot of the conversation around automation is still focused on cost. But what doesn’t get talked about enough is the cost of staying where things are. And those are already showing up in most P&Ls. David Bess, Segment Leader - Industrials, Automotive, and Transportation at Everforth Apex Systems, frames this clearly in The Autonomous Logistics Playbook. Read the white paper to understand where the real costs are already showing up, and what to do next. https://bit.ly/4vPYC5K

AI native teams are redefining how organizations deliver value. As Heather MacKinnon-Miller, Global Head of Innovation, and Alex Gomez, Managing Director, explores in their latest article, the advantage comes from embedding AI into how work gets done — not adding it on later. The Everforth Apex 10x Consultant Program is how we bring that to life. 👉 Read more: https://bit.ly/4v7OrZ0

We’re back from the #DataAISummit! And as our Databricks Alliance Executive Tyler Boggess said, “31,000 people in one place is nutty, but the energy was fantastic.”   As a summit sponsor and a Databricks Silver Brick Builder Partner, our team felt real momentum across the partner community and in our conversations with the Bricksters pushing data and AI forward. Here are a few of our takeaways:     ➡️ Databricks is evolving from a lakehouse platform to an agent‑first enterprise AI ecosystem. ➡️ Enterprise AI is becoming agent‑driven, with governance, context, and automation built directly into the platform. ➡️ The lakehouse is now real‑time, governed, and production‑ready for both analytical and transactional workloads.   New platform capabilities such as Genie One, Genie Ontology, Genie Agents, Unity AI Gateway, Agent Bricks, Omnigent, Lakehouse//RT, and LTAP make this possible.    The Databricks Data and AI Summit showed us exactly where the industry is heading, and we’re excited to help customers get there: https://lnkd.in/gKGMwkg2   DM any of our tagged Databricks experts to chat more.
