LTM Expands BlueVerse™ Tech with AppIQ, AgentIQ and FusionIQ to Accelerate AI‑Led Engineering

MUMBAI, India & WARREN, N.J. - Monday, 23. March 2026

(BUSINESS WIRE) -- LTM – the Business Creativity partner to the world’s largest enterprises, today announced the expansion of BlueVerseTM Tech, its AI‑led engineering platform, with the launch of AppIQ, AgentIQ and FusionIQ—three purpose‑built platforms designed to help enterprises modernize applications, orchestrate AI‑first software delivery, and engineer quality at scale.

As software development evolves from human‑only execution to human + intelligent agents, traditional effort‑driven engineering and QA models are increasingly unable to keep pace. These BlueVerseTM platforms embed agentic, engineering‑aware AI across the software development lifecycle (SDLC), enabling enterprises to move faster from legacy complexity to modern, resilient, and high‑quality digital systems.

AppIQ — Modernize Legacy Applications, Faster

AppIQ applies AI to read and understand legacy codebases, generate documentation, map functional workflows, and produce actionable specifications for forward engineering. What previously required weeks of reverse engineering can now be completed in days, significantly reducing modernization risk and cost.

AgentIQ — Orchestrate AI Agents Across Software Delivery

FusionIQ — Accelerate Speed to Market with Assured Quality

FusionIQ accelerates enterprise test automation across the software testing lifecycle, from requirement understanding and test design to automation scripting, test data management, and continuous optimization by embedding AIdriven monitoring and feedback into testing workflows.

Together, AppIQ, AgentIQ and FusionIQ deliver 40–50% reduction in engineering effort across the software development lifecycle — from legacy modernization and AI-driven delivery to quality engineering — while accelerating time-to-market and lowering ongoing operational costs.

“BlueVerseTM Tech reflects a fundamental shift in how engineering organizations create value with AI. By embedding AI across modernization, delivery orchestration, and quality engineering, we are helping clients reduce complexity, improve predictability, and move faster with confidence—turning AI from experimentation into measurable business advantage at scale,” said Gururaj Deshpande, Chief Delivery Officer, LTM.

Manhattan Associates’ 2026 Unified Commerce Benchmark Reveals the High Price of Standing Still in Retail

 Leaders achieve up to 2X revenue growth, but only 7% of retailers are true unified commerce leaders

(BUSINESS WIRE) -- Manhattan Associates Inc. (NASDAQ: MANH), today announced the findings of its 2026 Global Unified Commerce Benchmark for Specialty Retail, the industry’s most comprehensive assessment of how well retailers connect digital and physical experiences to drive growth, profitability and loyalty. Conducted by Incisiv, a leading retail research firm, the Benchmark is based on real-world purchases and returns. It analyzes more than 400 specialty retailers across EMEA, LATAM and North America on 330 capabilities spanning four key experience areas: Shopping, Checkout, Fulfillment, and Service.

The 2026 Benchmark reveals that while the industry has made steady progress in unified commerce maturity since 2023 when it was first launched, only 7% of retailers have achieved true unified commerce leadership while 33% are still stuck in the Basic category. Leaders are translating connected, data‑driven yet customer-centric experiences into nearly 2X higher growth rates than their basic peers.

The Benchmark highlights a new competitive reality in specialty retail, where scale, assortment and brand presence alone no longer guarantee growth. Key insights include:

AI is reshaping commerce: AI in retail is projected to unlock more than $500 billion in value globally by 2030, shifting the focus from simple task automation to intelligent systems that anticipate demand, personalize in real time and resolve friction before customers encounter it. AI shopping assistants, predictive fulfillment, in‑store personalization and intelligent cross‑channel support with context‑aware escalation are defining the new frontier.

Consumer journeys are fragmented: More than 66% of consumers now use two or more channels before completing a purchase, moving fluidly between marketplaces, social platforms, messaging apps and retailers’ own sites and stores.

Execution economics are under pressure: Global logistics and fulfillment costs have risen by over 20% in the last three years, as customers expect faster delivery, flexible fulfillment and seamless service as standard.

Inventory intelligence: Real‑time visibility and dynamic allocation drive significantly higher inventory turns – 50% in NOAM, 45% in EMEA and 27% in LATAM – helping reduce stockouts and markdowns.

Yesterday’s differentiators are now table stakes. 38% of the capabilities that differentiated leaders in 2024 have become table stakes by 2026, including basic real‑time inventory visibility, digital wallets and cross‑channel support.

“Retailers are being asked to do something incredibly hard right now: deliver faster, more personalized experiences while also protecting margin,” said Katie Foote, SVP & CMO, Manhattan Associates. “What this benchmark makes clear is that the retailers pulling ahead are not doing it with one standout channel or a single capability. They are doing it by reimagining the entire customer journey and connecting the business end to end, from shopping and checkout to fulfillment and service.”

The 2026 Benchmark also reveals how unified commerce maturity is evolving by region:

NOAM retailers benefit from deep ecommerce foundations and mature data infrastructure, leading in shopping and checkout personalization and cart execution.

EMEA retailers stand out in operational consistency, cross‑border fulfillment and privacy‑conscious experiences shaped by a complex regulatory landscape.

LATAM retailers are closing the gap faster than any other region, driven by rapid adoption of alternative payments, messaging‑led service via WhatsApp and mobile‑first fulfillment models.

“There is no single blueprint for winning in unified commerce. Different regions are moving at varied speeds and solving for different customer expectations. However, the common thread is clear: retailers that invest in connected experiences and precise execution are seeing the results in growth, resilience, and strong customer loyalty,” added Foote.

HJS Foundation Releases JEP Protocol & HJS Framework: The "Black Box" for AI, Enabling Verifiable Human Oversight

 (BUSINESS WIRE)--HJS Foundation (Human Judgment Systems Foundation) today released two complementary solutions: the Judgment Event Protocol (JEP) and the Human Judgment Structure (HJS) framework. As a minimalist open standard, JEP generates tamper-proof records of AI decision accountability, just like an aircraft black box; HJS embeds human judgment logic into AI operation processes — together, they transform "human oversight" from a regulatory requirement into a verifiable technical fact, providing an optional technical solution for AI accountability.

How to prove that AI decisions (such as loan approvals, medical diagnoses, border screenings, etc.) have undergone human review? JEP generates immutable audit trails of human intervention through four cryptographic primitives — Judge, Verify, Delegate, Terminate; HJS builds a controllable and accountable system to prevent risks such as AI drift and ensure that human judgment guides AI operations.

Current systems rely on alterable post-hoc documentation, while JEP and HJS work in tandem: JEP acts like an aviation black box, not judging performance but ensuring traceability; HJS embeds human oversight into AI workflows — together, they provide an undeniable factual basis for regulators, developers, and users.

Paired with the HJS framework, the JEP protocol provides a compliant technical option for trustworthy AI. Together, they achieve cross-platform and cross-model interoperability, solving core issues such as difficult accountability and inconsistent standards.

About HJS Foundation:

Founded in 2026 and registered in Singapore, HJS Foundation is a non-profit organization focused on developing minimalist and reliable technical standards (including the JEP protocol and HJS framework) to support human-AI accountability and the transparency of automated systems.

RSA Launches ID Plus Sovereign Deployment: The Next Level of High Assurance Identity Security

 New “Deploy Anywhere” Solution Sets Industry Standard for Security, Availability, and Compliance Across Critical Sectors

 

(BUSINESS WIRE)--Today at RSAC Conference 2026, RSA, the security-first identity leader, announced the launch of RSA® ID Plus Sovereign Deployment, a groundbreaking evolution in high assurance identity solutions designed to meet the needs of organizations that must maintain constant availability, meet policy and data sovereignty laws, and defend themselves from advanced, persistent threats.

RSA ID Plus Sovereign Deployment is the next evolution in RSA® ID Plus, the market’s most secure identity and access management (IAM) security platform featuring complete multi-factor authentication (MFA), SSO, and access capabilities. RSA ID Plus Sovereign Deployment features a new “deploy anywhere” capability that allows government agencies, financial services, critical infrastructure, and healthcare organizations to modernize their identity infrastructure while still maintaining the highest standards in security, availability, and regulatory compliance.

Unlike other vendors that offer limited technology or reduced capabilities depending on an organization’s licenses and choices, RSA strongly believes in offering full-stack identity capabilities no matter the environment. RSA ID Plus Sovereign Deployment’s deploy anywhere capability allows organizations to deploy modern, full stack identity capabilities wherever they choose, including private cloud, multi-cloud, on-premises, and air-gapped configurations. This capability allows government agencies, financial services, critical infrastructure, and healthcare organizations to modernize their identity infrastructure while still maintaining the highest standards in security, availability, and regulatory compliance.

“RSA ID Plus Sovereign Deployment is a direct response to the intensifying regulatory landscape, operational realities, and emerging threats that our customers face,” said RSA CEO Greg Nelson. “We built this solution for high-assurance organizations where failure is not an option and where compromise is a non-starter. RSA ID Plus Sovereign Deployment ensures that government agencies, financial services, healthcare, and critical infrastructure maintain the highest standards for data sovereignty, regulatory compliance, and security integrity.”

“In a threat landscape where standing still is its own vulnerability, RSA is raising the bar,” said RSA Federal and Strategic President Kevin Orr. “RSA ID Plus Sovereign Deployment is the first and only full stack identity solution that enables government agencies, financial services, critical infrastructure, and healthcare organizations to modernize their identity infrastructure while meeting regulatory requirements and supporting operational complexity—without ever compromising on security or availability.”

RSA ID Plus Sovereign Deployment surpasses compliance requirements and is engineered to secure the organizations with the most to lose. The solution is aligned with Executive Order 14028, OMB M-22-09, OMB M2-24-14, NIS2, DORA, and global cybersecurity and data sovereignty mandates. Whether deployed in private cloud, multi-cloud, on-premises, and air-gapped configurations, ID Plus Sovereign Deployment puts organizations in control—defending sensitive data against the world’s most persistent and well-funded adversaries, even when connectivity fails. The solution delivers:

Unified authentication, access, directory, and identity governance and administration (IGA) everywhere: private cloud, multi-cloud, on-premises, and air-gapped configurations—meeting organizations where their risk resides, not where a vendor’s limitations end

End-to-end phishing resistant passwordless authentication that eliminates the most frequent and highest impact attack vector across cloud, desktop, and datacenter, with multiple options for offline passwordless—so security holds even if everything else breaks

Secure access against advanced threats and bypass attacks that go beyond phishing with RSA® Mobile Lock and RSA® Risk AI

Help Desk fraud prevention via RSA® Help Desk Live Verify

Enhanced resilience: RSA ID Plus Sovereign Deployment can be deployed with RSA Authentication Manager to provide redundant authentication and access capabilities during cloud outages

RSAC Conference attendees are welcome to join RSA at Booth N 6253 to preview RSA ID Plus Sovereign Deployment.

Starr Completes Acquisition of IQUW Group

 NEW YORK & LONDON - Monday, 23. March 2026 AETOSWire Print 

Creates a stronger, more diversified global specialty platform

 

(BUSINESS WIRE)--Starr, a global investment and insurance organization, today announced that it has completed its acquisition of IQUW Group, creating a broader, more diversified specialty (re)insurance platform with enhanced capabilities across the London market, Bermuda and UK retail motor.

The combined Starr business now serves more clients and brokers in more specialist classes and market segments globally. With IQUW Group, Starr has strengthened its position in the London market and established its managing agency as the ninth-largest at Lloyd’s. Importantly, Starr will continue to operate with a strong emphasis on underwriting expertise and best-in-class broker and client experience and service. Clients and brokers will benefit from a broader product offering, quick decision-making, greater capital strength and expanded global reach.

Starr’s reinsurance capability is also significantly enhanced following this transaction. IQUW Re Bermuda and IQUW’s London reinsurance business will now trade as Starr Re, writing the Company’s inward reinsurance and strengthening its ability to offer a diversified portfolio of products across geographies and lines of business. Starr Re will benefit from Starr’s capital strength, which will enable thoughtful capital deployment across market cycles and position the Group to better serve clients across the (re)insurance market.

In 2025, IQUW Group wrote $1.88 billion of GWP, which is comprised of business written by IQUW (Syndicate 1856), ERS (Syndicate 218), the UK’s largest specialist motor insurer at Lloyd’s, and IQUW Re Bermuda. Syndicate 1856 will be rebranded as Starr and IQUW Re will trade as Starr Re. ERS will continue to trade under its existing brand given its strong and established presence in the UK motor market. There will be no brand change to Starr’s Syndicate 1919.

“The completion of this transaction advances Starr’s strategy to build a global, diversified, best-in-class underwriting business. I am delighted to welcome our new colleagues to Starr,” said Jeff Greenberg, chairman and co-chief executive officer of Starr. “Together, we are a larger, more resilient platform with the scale and expertise to compete and win across global markets and deliver sustainable, long-term growth.”

Steve Blakey, president and chief executive officer of Starr Insurance Holdings, commented: “We are thrilled to be bringing together our talented people and ensuring that our clients and brokers have the same seamless support and access to a broader suite of specialist solutions. As a combined organization, we will remain relentlessly focused on delivering exceptional service for our brokers and clients across all elements of our business.”

Peter Bilsby, who will lead Starr’s international business, said: “The completion of this transaction is a proud moment for everyone who has contributed to building the IQUW Group since its inception. From the outset, our ambition was to create a high-performing, specialist platform defined by great talent and market-leading data and technology. Now, as part of Starr, we can take advantage of being part of a stronger and more diversified global organization.”

The transaction has received all required regulatory approvals. Financial terms were not publicly disclosed.
