Kong and Persistent Systems partner to make migrating off old API management platforms faster and lower risk Legacy API management platforms were built for a different era. They weren't designed for microservices, multi-cloud deployments, or AI workloads. They're expensive, rigid, and hold engineering teams back. The problem is that migration has always felt hard. APIs are load-bearing infrastructure. Policies are complex. Risk is real. So the old platform stays, and the technical debt compounds.

A dashboard inside an EHR, claims tool, or finance portal is not just reporting. It sits inside a decision path. That changes the bar. With embedded analytics in regulated industries, teams need access control, audit logs, clear metric logic, and a user experience that fits the workflow. Speed matters. So does usability. But compliance-by-design cannot sit after the fact. It has to be built in from the start.

AI is at the center of every conversation around operational efficiency, while at the same time being sidelined. In a recent Harvard Business Review Analytic Services survey, only 18% of organizations report that AI is integrated within most of their workflows; twice as many run it as a standalone tool alongside the work. That gap—between AI that assists and AI that operates—is the defining problem of enterprise AI agents.

Your team shouldn’t have a trade-off between mobile app delivery speed and quality. Here’s how to ship with confidence.

KEY TAKEAWAY Facebook Ads data drives your campaign decisions, but Ads Manager makes it hard to analyze that data at scale or combine it with other sources. Moving it into BigQuery fixes that. Once your ad data sits next to your CRM, product, and revenue numbers, reporting becomes faster and cheaper across all of it. There are three ways to get there: Automated ETL with Hevo: best if you want fresh data without the upkeep. Custom code: best if you have engineers who want full control.

Hybrid cloud was meant to simplify IT — but for many organizations, it has done the opposite. As data spreads across on-premises systems, multiple clouds and edge environments, complexity (not flexibility) has become the defining challenge. With AI initiatives now dependent on distributed, high-quality data, this complexity directly impacts performance, governance, and cost. The lack of a unified view and thereby management of data is the biggest issue spurred by complexity.

A JavaScript array allows us to group related data like product names, user IDs, log entries, cart items, or API results. Arrays play a vital role in all kinds of user functions, from shopping carts to game scores. However the sheer flexibility of JavaScript arrays can also cause mistakes around mutation, copying, sorting, and searching. Soo we’ve put together this post to show you.

Post-acquisition financial integration is the process of unifying financial data from a newly-acquired portfolio company's ERP into the PE group's reporting layer — without forcing subsidiaries to replatform. The 8-12 Week PE Financial Data Foundation Framework is a sequenced implementation plan, structured across four phases, that takes a portfolio company from acquisition close to live, automated portfolio visibility.

You close. The lenders want a covenant report in 45 days. Your finance team is running on spreadsheets, three ERPs, and a shared folder nobody has cleaned since 2019. This playbook is the week-by-week plan for exactly that moment — written for incoming CFOs, interim CFOs, and the Operating Partners who place them.

The acquisition closed on Friday. The new CFO walks in on Monday morning. Within 48 hours, the Operating Partner sends a message: when do we get the first financials? The CFO opens their laptop and starts counting. Six ERPs. Three different chart of accounts structures. Two businesses that still report in spreadsheets emailed to a shared inbox. One entity whose close cycle runs two weeks behind the others. This is not a failure of diligence or talent.
