Frederick, Md. – September 06, 2026 -- ITHAKA, the nonprofit behind JSTOR, has achieved a 98% accessibility check pass rate while cutting remediation costs by more than 97% through an on-demand PDF pipeline built on Amazon Web Services using PDFix structural tagging, according to a new AWS Public Sector Blog article highlighted by PDFix-US.

CARY, N.C. – September 05, 2026 -- Organizations that embed trustworthy AI practices are 15 times more likely to report strong or high ROI from AI projects than those that don't, according to a new report from SAS with research insights by IDC.

Governance leaders report 62% strong ROI versus 4% for laggards

Arlington – September 04, 2026 -- Some 72.5% of organizations are currently invested in data management solutions and plan to increase that spending, yet many governance programs remain fragmented and produce activity without measurable impact, according to Info-Tech Research Group.

Info-Tech's Future of IT 2026 Survey found that improving data governance ranked as the leading data priority for supporting AI goals, cited by 30% of respondents, and outside AI, cited by 40%. The research group says this points to a disconnect between heavy investment in management solutions and unresolved governance decisions needed to guide them.
