ROCHESTER, N.Y., June 25, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — AI investment is accelerating, but turning that investment into meaningful workforce adoption remains far harder. To help organizations close that gap, Ardent Learning, an award-winning consulting firm specializing in learning and business transformation, today announced the launch of AIRE powered by Ardent℠, a new approach designed to help organizations build the conditions for successful AI adoption.

Short for AI Readiness & Enablement, AIRE is Ardent’s six-stage approach designed to help organizations create the conditions for confident, effective AI use in real work.

Beyond technology implementation and training, AIRE addresses the factors that most often determine whether adoption succeeds, including leadership alignment, workforce confidence, workflow fit, enablement, and measurement.

“We’re excited to launch AIRE because we see the same challenge across industries,” said Rich Fox, President and CEO at Ardent Learning. “Companies are investing heavily in AI, but many are still struggling to turn that investment into real adoption and business impact. AIRE helps leaders identify what is blocking adoption and create the conditions for AI to deliver meaningful results.”

The launch is supported by Ardent’s new white paper, which explores why many AI initiatives stall after initial rollout. The paper examines common barriers to sustained adoption, including unclear expectations, limited workforce confidence, workflow friction, and a lack of consistent reinforcement.

AIRE is built around six connected stages: Align Intent, Assess Readiness, Simplify Messaging, Design Enablement, Activate Adoption, and Prove Impact. Together, these stages move organizations from early experimentation to sustainable adoption by aligning leadership, clarifying expectations, embedding AI into real workflows, and reinforcing behavior change over time.

Ardent’s approach is grounded in a simple belief: access to AI tools alone does not drive adoption. Lasting adoption requires clear expectations, practical support, and the confidence to apply AI effectively in everyday work.

“Many organizations respond to stalled AI adoption by adding more training, but training alone rarely solves the real problem,” said Diana Butinski, Director, Enterprise Growth at Ardent Learning. “Employees need clarity around what good AI use looks like in their role, managers need to reinforce new behaviors, and leaders need meaningful ways to measure progress. Adoption becomes sustainable when AI becomes part of how work gets done.”

NEW YORK, June 24, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — PerkyPet AI, the veterinary-built AI platform for proactive pet health, has appointed veteran technology leader Jamal Jackson as Global Head of Applied AI. In this role, Jackson will lead the development and scaling of the company’s AI capabilities, advancing PerkyPet AI’s mission to support more informed preventive care for pets and their parents through everyday health monitoring.

“As an animal lover and the pet parent of an 80-pound dog who has shaped everything from my daily routine to how I travel, this mission is deeply personal to me,” said Jackson. “I know how much can happen between routine vet visits and how difficult it can be to gauge whether a small change in behavior is meaningful. What drew me to PerkyPet AI is that we’re building a clinically grounded system that helps pet parents understand their pet’s health over time, rather than just another chatbot that returns answers without context. My focus is ensuring our AI continues to meet the highest standards for safety, accuracy, and reliability while helping families move from reactive to proactive pet care.”

Jackson brings more than 15 years of experience building and scaling technology products across enterprise organizations, emerging AI companies and startups backed by reputable venture capitalists including Sequoia Capital, Founders Fund and Techstars. Before joining PerkyPet AI, he held engineering leadership roles at companies including Jumpcut, Box and Apple. At PerkyPet AI, his work will focus on strengthening AI systems that analyze daily health data, highlight important changes over time and keep recommendations and guidance within clear safety guardrails.

According to the American Pet Product Association (APPA), 95 million households in the U.S. have pets, accounting for 71.6% of households nationwide. In 2026, veterinary care and related product sales are projected to reach $42.4 billion.

PerkyPet AI was founded on the principle that pet health is shaped by daily decisions and behaviors made between veterinary visits, not solely during annual appointments. The platform serves as a centralized health record and intelligent monitoring system helping pet parents track nutrition, behavior, activity, symptoms, medications and other health indicators in one place, making it easier to identify shifts in a pet’s health over time.

“The AI industry has no shortage of people who can build impressive demos, but healthcare-related applications, like the PerkyPet AI model, require a different standard,” said Tim Maliyil, co-founder and CEO of PerkyPet AI. “Pet parents trust us with decisions that impact the wellbeing of a member of their family. Jamal understands that trust, safety and clinical rigor are requirements for useful innovation, not constraints. He brings the technical depth, operational discipline and judgment we need as we continue building PerkyPet AI.”

Jackson’s appointment underscores PerkyPet AI’s commitment to building AI responsibly in a healthcare-adjacent category where transparency, accountability and oversight are critical. Led by the company’s veterinary advisors and medical leadership, including co-founder and Chief Scientific Officer Dr. Dara Huang, MD, MMSc, Jackson will help ensure PerkyPet AI’s intelligence systems are developed with the oversight, evaluation and safeguards required for real-world pet health use.

PerkyPet AI is actively preparing for its Summer 2026 launch while continuing to expand its team, technology platform and veterinary partnerships. To learn more about how PerkyPet AI is helping pets live longer, healthier and happier lives through proactive, data-driven care, visit www.perkypetai.com.

About PerkyPet, Inc.
Established in 2024, PerkyPet, Inc. is an AI-powered pet health monitoring platform designed to help pet parents better understand and manage their pets’ health between veterinary visits. By combining longitudinal health tracking, veterinary-informed guidance and advanced AI, PerkyPet AI helps pet parents identify health trends, maintain comprehensive health records, monitor changes over time and make more informed decisions about when professional veterinary care may be needed.

About Jamal Jackson
Jamal Jackson is the Global Head of Applied AI at PerkyPet AI, where he leads the development of veterinary-driven artificial intelligence systems designed to help pet parents monitor health trends and make more informed care decisions. Jackson oversees AI governance, clinical safety frameworks and the continued evolution of PerkyPet AI’s longitudinal health intelligence platform. A lifelong animal lover and pet advocate, he is passionate about applying AI responsibly to improve animal health outcomes.

ALLENTOWN, Pa., June 24, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — CAI, a global services firm, was awarded a statewide contract with the Virginia Information Technologies Agency (VITA) to provide Security Operations Center (SOC) services to local government entities across the Commonwealth. The contract creates a pre-qualified procurement vehicle through which Virginia’s local government and affiliated entities, including localities, public bodies and eligible institutions, can engage CAI’s cybersecurity capabilities.

How CAI Will Deliver

The award follows a competitive Request for Proposal process in which VITA evaluated vendors on their ability to deliver comprehensive, around-the-clock security monitoring, threat detection, incident response and other related cyber security services for local government infrastructure. CAI’s approach to security operations is built on a foundation of proven technology and trusted local partnerships:

• LMNTRIX — An advanced managed detection and response (MDR) platform delivering continuous threat monitoring, real-time alerting, and rapid incident response capabilities.
• Virginia-based DBE Partner — A certified local partner embedded in the Commonwealth, bringing knowledge and community investment to every engagement.

“Winning this contract with VITA reflects exactly the kind of work CAI was built to do — bringing the right people, the right partnerships, and the right capabilities together to solve real challenges for the public sector,” said Abe Hunter, chief revenue officer and president, public sector at CAI. “Virginia’s localities deserve fast, reliable access to world-class cybersecurity services, and this contract gives them exactly that. We are proud to continue to serve the Commonwealth and are committed to helping local governments protect the people and systems that communities depend on every day.”

Why This Is Critical for Virginia

• Cyberattacks targeting state and local governments have increased sharply in recent years, with ransomware, data breaches, and infrastructure disruptions affecting municipalities of all sizes.
• For many localities, the barrier to building a credible defense has been less about willingness than access — to talent, technology, and procurement vehicles designed for their scale.
• The VITA contract addresses that gap directly, giving Virginia’s local governments a faster path to a level of security coverage that was previously out of reach for many.

CAI has served state and local government clients for more than 40 years, with work spanning cybersecurity, application modernization, cloud solutions, and IT workforce services across public sector organizations nationwide.

CAI is a global services firm with over 9,000 associates worldwide and a yearly revenue of $1.3 billion+.

WASHINGTON, June 24, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Presidio, a leading global digital services and solutions provider, today announced five AI solutions purpose-built for public sector organizations, at the AWS Public Sector Summit in Washington, D.C. Designed to eliminate the false choice between build and buy, Presidio’s new solution accelerators are the third path – pre-built, cloud-native, and tailored to the specific realities of government and education. Rather than replacing existing systems or starting from scratch, they enable agencies to run a faster, more credible pilot and move it to production in weeks at pricing aligned to public sector budgets, and architectures built to scale securely across agencies. 

Spanning two core capability areas – real-time video intelligence and constituent digital services – the portfolio gives public sector organizations a faster, lower-risk path from initial pilot to integrated, mission-ready deployment. 

“Presidio has a new identity – a mission-driven one,” said Mike Baur, Industry Principal, SLED, Presidio. “State and local leaders have been handed two bad options for decades: build something that takes years or buy a platform they’ll use seven percent of. These accelerators are the third option – purpose-built starting points that eliminate the hardest foundational work so agencies can run a faster, more credible pilot and see real outcomes in months, not years. This is just the beginning.” 

 Turning Video into Real-Time Intelligence 

Across government, education, and public media, video remains one of the most underutilized and inaccessible data sources. Footage is difficult to search, spread across systems, and rarely available in real time. Presidio’s video intelligence solutions turn unstructured video into operational intelligence, enabling agencies to detect, analyze, and respond to events as they happen.  

Presidio’s new video intelligence solutions include:

• Presidio Captivate (Available now) 
  • Captivate enables public safety teams and campus security to search footage based on behaviors, objects, and events – not by timestamp or manual tag – for faster investigations and more situational awareness. 
•  Presidio Intelligent Sports Media (Available now) 
  • Designed for collegiate athletics and media teams, this solution connects live broadcasts with deep historical archives to power NIL workflows, faster content creation, and multi-platform distribution.  
• Presidio Intelligent News Media (Available now)  
  • Enables Public Information Officers and media teams to automatically enrich, search, and distribute content across channels without rebuilding underlying systems, leading to faster public communication. 
• Presidio Public Safety Accelerator (Launching today) 
  • Announced today, Intelligent Public Safety introduces agentic AI into public safety environments, automatically detecting anomalies and helping agencies act on real-time intelligence without manually reviewing hours of footage after the fact. 

A New Model for Constituent Digital Services 

While agencies have modernized individual systems, the constituent experience remains fragmented across departments. Presidio is unifying and securing digital services without requiring costly system replacement. 

Presidio’s new solution to improve the constituent experience includes:

• Presidio GovMod Accelerator (Launching today) 
  • GovMod Accelerator is an AWS-native orchestrator that connects existing agency systems for a unified constituent experience. Rather than requiring agencies to migrate or replace their existing system investments, it overlays the infrastructure to deliver a single, secure, federated experience for residents. Live pilot in 90 days. 

Together, these accelerators reflect Presidio’s conviction that public sector organizations deserve a better path – one that meets them where they are, works with the systems they already have, and turns a well-run pilot into a production deployment in weeks. All five accelerators are built on AWS and reflect Presidio’s standing as an AWS Premier Consulting Partner. The development of Presidio Intelligent Public Safety, giving government customers access to secure, scalable, and innovative cloud technologies, was done in partnership with AWS Generative AI Innovation Center (GenAI IC) Partner Innovation Alliance (PIA). 

Presidio’s SLED team will be present throughout the AWS Public Sector Summit at the Walter E. Washington Convention Center, June 29 through July 1. Solution demonstrations are available by request at presidio.com.

WALTHAM, Mass., June 18, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Rocket Software, a global technology leader in modernization software, today announced an expanded strategic collaboration with HPE, building on its recent acquisition of Vertica^® to accelerate delivery of a sovereign, AI-native data lakehouse.

With this collaboration, Rocket Software is deepening integration of the Vertica high-performance analytics platform with HPE infrastructure to power secure, high-performance analytics at scale. Simultaneously, through the HPE Unleash AI partner program, Rocket^® DataEdge Data Replicate and Sync (RDRS), the first Rocket Software product validated within the HPE Unleash AI ecosystem, enables organizations to continuously and securely make system-of-record data available to AI and analytics platforms in real time, moving from AI experimentation to real operational impact without disrupting core business systems.

Together, Rocket^® Vertica^®, combined with GreenLake and HPE Alletra Storage MP X10000, delivers a powerful foundation for enterprise AI, unifying high-performance analytics with scalable, object storage optimized for data-intensive, mission-critical workloads. In March, HPE Alletra Storage MP X10000 achieved NVIDIA^®-Certified Storage validation for object-based systems at the Foundation level, becoming the first object storage system to reach this milestone.

With Vertica’s MPP architecture, advanced query performance and in-database machine learning, advanced analytics and AI paired with the X10000’s disaggregated, S3-compatible architecture and GreenLake Flex’s pay-per-use consumption model, enterprises can reduce data movement, lower costs, and accelerate time to insight, supporting real-time analytics and AI at scale across hybrid environments.

The HPE Unleash AI partner program is a curated ecosystem, combining ISV solutions that go through comprehensive validation testing with engineered HPE AI systems, including HPE Private Cloud AI and the broader HPE AI Factory with NVIDIA solutions, to deliver the performance, security, and scalability enterprises need for production AI.

Vertica strengthens the HPE Unleash AI program by providing the high-performance analytics engine needed to turn data pipelines into real AI outcomes. While DataEdge RDRS brings real-time data into the ecosystem, Vertica enables that data to be immediately analyzed, modeled, and operationalized through advanced SQL analytics and in-database machine learning, allowing organizations to move from data ingestion to insight and action without shifting data across multiple platforms.

“At Rocket Software, we believe the future of AI is built on trusted, high-performance data wherever it lives,” said Michael Curry, President of Data Modernization, Rocket Software. “Our partnership with HPE and the acquisition of Vertica bring that vision to life by combining powerful AI with hybrid flexibility to help enterprises unlock value faster. Together, we are enabling a sovereign data lakehouse approach that keeps data in place, brings AI to it, and gives organizations the control, scale, and performance they need to innovate with confidence.”

“Rocket Software plays an important role in strengthening the HPE Unleash AI ecosystem by bringing trusted data, high-performance analytics, and deep enterprise expertise,” said Robin Braun, Vice President of AI Business Development for Hybrid Cloud, HPE. “Together, we are enabling customers to run AI across hybrid environments with the control, sovereignty, and performance required to turn data into actionable insight at scale.”

NEW YORK, June 16, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Roadzen Inc. (Nasdaq: RDZN) (“Roadzen” or the “Company”), a global leader in AI at the convergence of insurance and mobility, today announced that VehicleCare, its wholly owned India-based workshop management and claims AI platform, has secured a second major insurer mandate to run motor claims repair execution across its nationwide network. The mandate, with one of India’s top 10 general insurers, is expected to generate over $10 million in annual revenue as claims volumes ramp.

Together with VehicleCare’s recently announced mandate of comparable size, the two contracts are expected to contribute more than $20 million in combined annual revenue — with adoption running well past the Company’s initial estimates at the time of the VehicleCare acquisition, as large insurers move to outsource the most complex part of the insurance experience.

Since April 2026, Roadzen has announced approximately $30 million of new contractual relationships expected to scale into revenue over the course of the year, spanning VehicleCare in India, its U.K.-based Global Insurance Management subsidiary, and its broader insurance and mobility operations.

The two mandates validate the thesis behind Roadzen’s VehicleCare acquisition: that AI-led claims estimation and approval delivered in real-time, combined with VehicleCare’s control over repair execution and its integrated parts supply chain, can transform how insurers manage motor claims when the three are delivered together at scale. Each insurer relationship creates durable, claims-volume-linked revenue while strengthening VehicleCare’s data, network, and operating advantages.

The new insurance client operates more than 850 branches nationwide, sells more than 8 million auto policies annually, and processes over $450 million in annual motor claims. Combined with VehicleCare’s first major mandate — which provided exposure to an approximately $800 million annual motor claims pool — VehicleCare now holds insurer relationships representing more than $1.2 billion in annual motor claims activity.

VehicleCare operates AutoSpace, one of India’s leading workshop management platforms, digitizing the end-to-end repair journey across more than 1,200 verified partner garages in metro, Tier-1, and Tier-2 cities. The platform has processed more than 150,000 claims and delivered a 30%-plus reduction in loss costs versus OEM garages.

Under the mandate, VehicleCare manages the motor claims repair lifecycle for the insurer — from workshop assignment and repair authorization through parts procurement, execution, quality sign-off, and final delivery — with AI-led damage estimation and claims approval delivered jointly with Roadzen’s technology. The insurer gains real-time visibility across every stage through AutoSpace, replacing fragmented manual workflows with a single digital operating layer. A core component is VehicleCare’s Garage ERP and its real-time parts procurement bridge, which connects workshops directly to suppliers at the point of repair diagnosis — improving parts availability and price transparency, reducing leakage, and creating a digital audit trail. For insurers, this means tighter control over cost, turnaround time, repair quality, and policyholder experience at scale.

“VehicleCare is expanding beautifully, well past our initial estimates, and these two back-to-back insurer mandates show why, because what we have built together is a way to take on the hardest part of insurance — the claim itself — and actually manage it end to end rather than just watch it happen,” said Rohan Malhotra, Founder and CEO of Roadzen. “We deliver the AI that estimates and approves the claim in real time, then VehicleCare brings the software layer to control repair execution and the parts supply chain across a nationwide network, and together that troika is what moves cost, speed, and quality at the same time, with guaranteed turnaround times that we do not believe anyone has delivered at scale anywhere in the world, and two leading insurers signing back to back tells us the market is ready for exactly this.”

“VehicleCare was built to solve one of the hardest problems in motor insurance: managing repairs with speed, transparency, and accountability across a fragmented workshop ecosystem,” said Arvind Verma, CEO of VehicleCare. “With AutoSpace, our Garage ERP, and our parts procurement bridge, insurers get a single platform to authorize, execute, monitor, and complete repairs in real time. This second mandate shows that large insurers are ready to modernize how motor claims are managed.”
