Workday is expanding its partnership with Google Cloud to embed AI agents into enterprise finance applications using Gemini Enterprise. The integration includes Workday's Sana Self-Service Agent and supports features like conversational policy queries, corporate card eligibility checks, and generating expense requests, while leveraging Workday Data Cloud connected to BigQuery via zero-copy data sharing.

Broadcom and Samsung are building a fixed wireless access platform that combines Broadcom's Wi-Fi 8 SoC with Samsung's 5G modem aimed at helping carriers deliver fiber-like broadband over wireless. Wi-Fi 8 is still emerging, but the focus is shifting from raw speed to reliability, lower latency, and better performance in crowded environments - useful context for IT teams watching the next wave of home, branch, and edge connectivity.

AI experimentation is giving way to governance, steering committees, formal approval processes, and clearer KPIs as IT leaders face pressure to show measurable business value.

Endpoint sprawl quietly drives up IT cost through poor visibility, duplicated tools, patch gaps, support fatigue, and unmanaged device lifecycles. The issue looks like “just devices” until it becomes a productivity, compliance, and governance problem.

This post breaks down the practical difference between RMM, MDM, and UEM: RMM for monitoring and remote support, MDM for enrollment and policy enforcement, and UEM for broader endpoint governance across device types. Endpoint tooling is getting blurry, especially as identity, SaaS access, compliance, and device lifecycle management converge.

Modern network operations are more complex than ever, but IT teams are still slowed down by repetitive operational work. The result is slower response, more friction, and duplicated effort.

Tines' new guide explores how teams can move faster with fewer manual steps, clearer audit trails, and better operational visibility.

Agent Handler for Employees is an IT control layer that connects to identity providers, maps employees and groups to approved AI tools and actions, and adds logging and data-loss-prevention controls. It lets employees use AI agents across business apps without creating another shadow IT and access governance problem.

RTX Spark is an Arm-based SoC for Windows PCs (formerly rumored as N1X) introduced by Nvidia at Computex 2026 in partnership with Microsoft. The chip targets premium laptops (14–16 inches) and small form factor desktops. It offers up to 20 CPU cores, a Blackwell-based GPU with 6144 CUDA cores (~1 PFLOP FP4), and support for up to 128GB of LPDDR5X RAM. Devices are expected in the fall.

Key attack vectors against containerized environments include runtime exploits, container escape, orchestration API abuse, and supply chain attacks such as image poisoning and CI/CD compromise. These threats often combine into multi-stage attacks targeting Kubernetes clusters and secrets theft.

Three German manufacturing ERP modernization case studies show that success depends less on the ERP technology itself and more on process readiness, integration architecture, and traceability. Across the cases, companies optimize processes before migration, build bidirectional ERP–MES–PLM–shop-floor integrations, and treat ERP modernization as a strategic realignment rather than a lift-and-shift.

As DRAM supply remains tight, China's CXMT is gaining attention as a DDR5 supplier that could add pressure to the Samsung, SK Hynix, and Micron-dominated memory market.

Kubecolor is a kubectl wrapper that adds color to kubectl output without changing the underlying content.

Google made “Organize My Files” generally available in Drive, letting Gemini suggest file moves, create folder groupings, and help users clean up loose files with approval before anything is moved.
