NEW YORK – October 28, 2026 -- Globant (NYSE: GLOB) has expanded its Glob.AI platform with Glob.AI OS, a governance layer that routes enterprise AI requests across 320+ models from 25+ providers and ties each call to identity, cost and policy.

Glob.AI is Globant's AI-Native Services Platform, under which clients pay for outcomes or consumption rather than hours or seats. Globant says AI-Native Services engagements have delivered up to 7x faster legacy modernization and 3x faster product discovery.

Four hubs handle model routing, data context, agent testing and spend control

Globant describes Glob.AI OS as the governed foundation under every AI call. It supports identity, agent lifecycle management, cost visibility and auditability through four components:

Global – October 28, 2026 -- Snowflake and Oracle plan to offer Snowflake's AI Data Cloud as a native, first-party service on Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI), with customers buying and being billed directly through Oracle. The companies describe the offering as planned, not committed, and no launch date has been given.

Snowflake on OCI would bring AI, analytics, data engineering, transactions, applications and collaboration workloads closer to enterprise data held in Oracle databases, Oracle applications and OCI services.

Oracle would sell and bill Snowflake directly through OCI

Customers would contract with Oracle, be billed through OCI and could pay with Oracle Universal Credits. Accounts would be provisioned through the OCI control plane. Customers would then manage warehouses, databases, data pipelines and access controls with standard Snowflake tools.

ABU DHABI – October 28, 2026 -- etisalat's consolidated net profit for the first nine months of 2026 rose 45.9% year-over-year to AED 17.2 billion, boosted by the completed sale of its entire Vodafone Group stake. Q3 net profit alone reached AED 11.2 billion.

Vodafone exit delivers AED 21.9 billion in consideration

The Vodafone divestment generated total consideration of AED 21.9 billion, including the final dividend, and a gain of approximately AED 8.0 billion. etisalat said the transaction adds financial flexibility.

Stripping out the gain, Q3 net profit was AED 3.2 billion with earnings per share of AED 0.37. Adjusted nine-month net profit was AED 9.2 billion, with EPS of AED 1.06.

Q3 revenue grows 6.9% to AED 19.5 billion

Consolidated revenue for the third quarter rose 6.9% year-over-year to AED 19.5 billion. Nine-month revenue reached AED 57.6 billion, up 10.0%.

San Diego – October 28, 2026 -- Sony has made its XYN spatial capture solution available in the United States (excluding U.S. territories) and Canada through subscription plans, token packs and online credit card purchasing, targeting buyers from freelancers to enterprise studios.

XYN comprises three applications: XYN Spatial Scan Navi, an iPhone app that guides capture; XYN Spatial Scan, a cloud application that generates 3DCG assets from real-world spaces; and XYN Spatial Renderer Plugin, which displays the assets in virtual production. The Navi app works with iPhone 15 Pro, 16 Pro and 17 Pro models, including Max variants, running iOS 18, 26 or later.

Global – October 28, 2026 -- ST Engineering iDirect SVP Brian Jakins argues that sovereignty, multi-orbit resilience and open ecosystems, not satellite count, will decide who leads satellite communications in the next decade.

More than 120 mobile operators now partner with satellite players, yet customers still struggle to get capacity

Jakins says customers in Asia, LATAM and the Middle East keep asking why capacity is so hard to obtain when GEO, MEO and LEO supply is greater than ever. He cites mega-constellation launches, Europe's IRIS2 moving into production and Amazon Leo scaling up. By his account, customers want less complexity, not more connectivity.

LAS VEGAS – October 28, 2026 -- Oracle will roll out AI-generated business ontologies, a semantic reasoning engine and an AI agent registry within the next 12 months as part of its AI Data Platform, and has launched a services offering to move enterprise AI projects into production. The company announced the moves at Oracle AI World.

AI Discovery agent drafts ontologies from schemas and documents

Oracle's AI Discovery agent generates business ontologies by analyzing database schemas, semantic models, application and API documentation, and business knowledge held in unstructured documents. Domain experts review and refine the output before approving it as the shared foundation for all AI solutions. The platform also monitors how agents use the ontologies and recommends updates for expert approval.

SAN FRANCISCO – – October 28, 2026 -- Infisical has raised $40 million in Series B funding at a $600 million valuation to expand its security infrastructure for AI agents. Elad Gil, who also invested in the company's Series A, led the round. Gradient and Y Combinator are among the other investors.

Agent Vault keeps credentials away from AI agents

Infisical's Agent Vault lets companies give AI agents access to systems without handing over credentials. AI agents need access to source code, databases and cloud infrastructure, which normally requires API keys, passwords and authentication tokens. Infisical argues agents cannot be trusted with those credentials.

Companies define the access each agent needs. According to Infisical, the agent then cannot leak credentials in a cyberattack or inadvertently send them to LLM providers or other tools it communicates with.

Las Vegas – October 28, 2026 -- Oracle introduced three Fusion AI capabilities at Oracle AI World 2026, and a live demo of one of them, Fusion Claw, reworked a shipping plan to lift truck fill rates to 88% from 61% and save $58,000. All three capabilities, announced during the October 26 keynote, are available to customers now.

Fusion Claw executes shipping plan and escalates five uncertain loads

In the demonstration, Oracle's AI first flagged orders at risk of running late. It then found two truckloads that could be combined to save $12,000 and reshuffled some orders. Fusion Claw then took on the full shipping plan. It routed five uncertain loads to a human planner and executed the remaining work.

Oracle now offers 75 ready-made AI applications across finance, HR, supply chain and customer service. Of these, 25 use Fusion Claw.

ARLINGTON, Va. – October 28, 2026 -- Infotech's annual report, Tech Trends 2027: Bring Clarity Amid Chaos, identifies 14 trends across four themes that will change the cost, security and viability of enterprise technology investments next year. The research and advisory firm finds that as AI model capabilities converge, architecture, tooling and governance will increasingly determine enterprise AI outcomes.

The report draws on expert interviews and primary and secondary research. It covers financial services, healthcare, legal services, manufacturing and government, and tracks policy and procurement developments in the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom, Australia and the European Union. Each trend is rated for market readiness and enterprise traction.

Princeton – October 28, 2026 -- WonderBotz has relaunched its Agentic Process Management (APM) playbook with data foundations named as a first-class layer, and added Anthropic and Tungsten Automation to its partner ecosystem. The third edition of the executive framework, which covers how enterprises plan, govern and scale AI agents, people and robots as one operation, is available now.

Data foundation becomes the layer beneath orchestration, fidelity and stewardship

WonderBotz says a year of running agentic operations at client scale showed that the data layer needs explicit treatment. The playbook now places it under the three existing disciplines of orchestration, fidelity and stewardship, as the layer that makes them enforceable.

"You cannot govern an agent whose data you don't trust, and every agent you deploy pays interest on your data debt," said Steve LaValle, Co-Founder and Co-CEO of WonderBotz.
