IT budgeting has gotten a lot trickier as vendors begin to adjust their pricing to include variable charges for agentic AI usage in addition to seat-based licensing fees. A case in point is the licensing model for ServiceNow, which has introduced usage-based pricing for its AI components. As part of its AI transformation, the company…
As use of agentic AI accelerates, Red Hat is hoping to position itself as the critical behind-the-scenes plumbing and connective fabric. To this end, the company has unveiled new desktop and developer suite functions, skills bundles, and a rolling Linux release to help enterprises move beyond the experimental phase. Announced at Red Hat Summit today,…
Understanding that enterprise migrations can be structurally complicated, costly, and constrained in certain environments, many software and cloud providers offer extended maintenance, support, and security updates. Oftentimes, though, they come with caveats and firm end dates. Red Hat is looking to shake up this paradigm with its announcement at Red Hat Summit of the Red…
A data ontology starts with a simple but powerful shift: organizing data by meaning, not just structure. In practice, it provides a shared semantic framework that defines what data represents, how key entities relate and how that meaning is consistently understood across systems, teams and acquisitions. By integrating data across silos and domains, an ontology…
AI is making software development faster, but in many organizations, delivery is not improving. Developers are generating more code, completing tasks more quickly and appearing more productive. On the surface, it looks like a clear gain, driven by advances in generative AI in the software development life cycle. But that view is incomplete. From what…

I say this not as a spectator to the AI tooling wave, but as an engineer who has spent the last four-plus years building and scaling production systems across payments, multi-tenant platforms and reliability-sensitive environments, and who has had to make architectural decisions where failure would not have been theoretical. In one recent role, I…
The Register reports on research that explores managerial uses of AI-based “digital twins” to augment their leadership capabilities. The result: The paper’s authors don’t appear to understand leadership well enough to draw a useful conclusion. Very short analysis: To the extent digital twins are twins, by definition their performance must be exactly as good as…
Most conversations about AI and payments focus on agents shopping for people — ordering groceries, booking flights, comparing prices. But there’s a less visible and larger shift happening underneath: AI agents paying other AI agents directly. Not on behalf of a consumer. As part of their own workflows. When one agent needs data, compute or…
