Another big move in AI. Congratulations to Bhavin Shah and the Moveworks team on their $2.8B acquisition by ServiceNow! A great milestone that also signals a broader trend—AI consolidation is accelerating. Why? Because enterprises are realizing that #disconnected, #single-use AI tools aren’t enough. The past year saw an explosion of AI solutions targeting specific roles and departments, but the reality is—businesses don’t need more isolated AI assistants. They need a cohesive, #enterprise-wide AI strategy that integrates across systems, connects data, and actually drives measurable outcomes. Right now, many organizations are struggling with AI sprawl—too many tools, too little coordination, and no real intelligence working across the entire business. The real opportunity isn’t just automating tasks; it’s building AI systems that work together, across teams and processes, to create real business impact. At Teqfocus, we’ve been addressing this challenge head-on with #TeqAgents, our enterprise AI framework that enables businesses to: ✅ Deploy multi-agent AI solutions for coordinated, intelligent automation ✅ Break down data silos to improve real-time decision-making ✅ Enhance efficiency in industries like healthcare, financial services, manufacturing, and retail ✅ Ensure enterprise-grade security, compliance, and integration We are working with enterprises to drive AI transformation across their GTM, finance operations, HR workflows, and security frameworks—helping them move beyond standalone AI tools to fully integrated, intelligent systems. The AI industry is consolidating, and the winners will be those who think beyond point solutions and invest in AI as a connected, enterprise-wide strategy. Let’s build AI that truly works at scale. https://lnkd.in/ddF-W8Y6 #EnterpriseAI #AIIntegration #Automation #AIstrategy #Teqfocus #AITransformation #teqtalk

I'm proud to share the latest milestone in our journey to close the digital divide—this time in the heart of California’s Central Valley. Microsoft is partnering with Emergent Connext, Inc. and Cal.net, Inc. to bring reliable IoT connectivity to thousands of square miles of unconnected farmland. This collaboration will empower growers with the tools they need to thrive in a connected, data-driven world—enabling precision agriculture, improving sustainability, and strengthening rural economies. Connectivity is a powerful enabler of sustainability—whether it’s optimizing irrigation with real-time soil sensors, reducing input costs through targeted applications, or tracking livestock health remotely. At Microsoft, we believe that access to technology should be inclusive, and that innovation must reach everyone, everywhere. This is what it looks like when public-private partnerships come together to deliver real-world impact. I’m incredibly proud of our team and our partners for making this vision a reality.
