When IKS Health announced its agreement to acquire TruBridge on April 23, 2026, the market reacted with a sharp pop in the stock. Together, the combined entity brings revenue cycle management, predictive analytics, and EHR capabilities to support over 2,000 healthcare organizations and more than 150,000 clinicians, let’s decode and unpack this move ahead. Reach out to discuss this topic in depth. The thesis: From services layer to system of record and action IKS Health’s core business, RCM, clinical documentation, and care enablement for physician groups, is operationally strong but architecturally constrained. It runs as a top-up layer over EHR systems…
Companies everywhere are trying to leverage AI to boost internal productivity metrics. Some, like Ramp and Intercom, are succeeding. Many are failing.To make matters more complicated, the narrative around what tooling enables these gains is constantly shifting. For software engineers, auto-complete via GitHub Copilot was the bleeding-edge tool of choice in 2024. Then it was Cursor for much of 2025. 2026 has been dominated by command-line-based coding agents like Claude Code and Codex.While the tooling layer winds ebb and flow, many of them have come to share a number of common primitives: open standards that help configure and guide these…
3. Complex infrastructure operations The ongoing pursuit of digital transformation and consequent network reliance also drives the third factor. Ironically, there is another facet of enterprise protection and financial control wrapped up in this. The widespread move from one-stop shops (avoiding IT vendor lock-in in favor of more competitive pricing and autonomy) has created a more complex, multivendor environment. This is coupled with multiple IT domains required to handle many diverse functions and layers of IT infrastructure (e.g., cloud, on-prem), all connected to the network. Complex, mission-critical IT operations now need to be monitored and protected from increasingly sophisticated cyber…
Something we have written a lot about at Smart Data Collective since Ryan acquired the blog is how journalists are relying more heavily on analytics, research tools, and digital reporting systems to build stronger stories. You can now see reporters using API news apps, polling dashboards, academic databases, and real-time tracking tools to gather information faster while backing up their reporting with measurable facts.Terrence Ngu of HashMeta writes that recent research from Muck Rack reveals that 65% of journalists consider data and research statistics to be the most valuable elements in a pitch. He writes:“For businesses looking to secure valuable…
Stainless does not sell primarily to enterprises, but its tools form part of the software development chain that enterprise teams may rely on. They help generate SDKs, documentation, and MCP servers that developers can use to connect AI models, cloud services, and APIs to business applications. In a statement, Stainless said it will wind down all hosted products, including its SDK generator, as the team shifts focus to Claude Platform capabilities and connecting agents to APIs. Existing customers will retain the right to modify and extend SDKs they have already generated. This could have competitive implications. Stainless has listed OpenAI,…
If you’re going to run one of the world’s largest dark web drug marketplace, it’s probably a good idea not to have laundered loot delivered to your front door.That, according to US and German prosecutors, is what 49-year-old Owe Martin Andresen did – and it has helped land him in custody where he is facing money laundering charges on both sides of the Atlantic.Andresen was arrested at his home on 7 May 2026 by German police. Prosecutors allege he is “Speedstepper” – the suspected main administrator of the notorious Dream Market dark web marketplace that operated from 2013 until its…
Photo by: Alberta Newsroom, CC BY-NC-ND 2.0, via FlickrTORONTO — Rachel Doran, executive director at Clean Energy Canada, made the following statement in response to the Implementation Agreement for the Canada-Alberta MOU:“The long-awaited agreement between the federal government and Alberta was promised to strengthen Canada’s competitiveness and the effectiveness of key climate policies—but is, in reality, a step backward. This is true not only when it comes to reducing climate-change-causing emissions from big industry, but also on the aspiration laid out yesterday to double Canada’s electricity grid as the economic backbone of our future.“Indeed, the federal government’s goal of a…
I’ll be honest. When I started thinking about which other languages SwiftBash should run, JavaScript was about fifth on my list. I’m a Swift person. I’m a Cocoa person. I’m somewhere between indifferent and faintly hostile to npm. The idea of “let’s drop a Node-compatible runtime into the bash shell” sounded exactly like the kind of project I would shake my head at on someone else’s GitHub. But it kept nagging. After SwiftScript and SwiftPorts, the obvious next move was another scripting language. And when I started enumerating them out loud — Python, Ruby, Lua, Perl, JavaScript — there was…
In an era where the pace of business transformation is accelerating, IT leaders are no longer just supporting the enterprise—they are the primary architects of the future. As we kick off the second year of the Cisco Customer Achievement Awards, starting in the Americas, we recognize that the mandate for technology leaders and teams has evolved into a complex mission of balancing rapid innovation with unwavering digital resilience. Today’s finalists have demonstrated an extraordinary ability to navigate this landscape, mastering everything from hybrid cloud integration and AI-driven operations to the complexities of next-gen work environments. They have not only kept…
Star Wars: The Mandalorian and Grogu, which premieres on Friday, May 22, is the first Star Wars movie to hit theaters in seven years. That’s a noteworthy tidbit to consider since Rise of the Skywalker premiered in 2019, mere months before the pandemic shut down Hollywood’s movie-making machine. It was the same year Disney Plus launched, prompting a new Star Wars narrative to play out on a streaming platform.It makes sense, then, that the latest Star Wars movie isn’t connected to Luke Skywalker’s saga, but rather to the three-season storyline of The Mandalorian TV series. That isn’t to say that everyone’s…
