A new survey commissioned by Lattice reveals employee perspectives around pay policy and processes, bias in salary decisions, transparency, and more

LONDON, June 21, 2022 /PRNewswire/ — People leaders across the UK face a difficult year ahead in navigating employee pay cycles amid rising inflation and market volatility, and new research shows that over half (53%) expect the cost of living to be a key consideration in their compensation reviews.

“A convergence of factors — including increased turnover, rising inflation, volatile markets and the current cost of living crisis — are putting increased pressure on compensation cycles,” said Dave Carhart, Vice President of Lattice Advisory Services. “This report reveals how employee perceptions around compensation are evolving in the midst of all this upheaval – and provides important insights for leaders who will be tasked with balancing employee expectations alongside shifting business needs.”

These insights come from research conducted by Lattice, the people success platform that empowers business leaders to build engaged and high-performing teams and inspire winning cultures.

As cost of living increases, workers expect employers to step up. Over half (53%) said that cost of living should be one of the most important factors considered within a compensation review, but just 26% of employees said the cost of living was currently a consideration in their company’s compensation review process.Annual increases are not going to satisfy all employees, and they have specific increases in mind to feel valued. Nearly 30% of employees said they were looking to be evaluated for compensation increases every 3-6 months; assuming good performance, 47% of UK employees would need a pay rise of at least 4-5% to feel their work was being valued adequately.Employees see bias, and a lack of action to address it, in compensation decisions. Over half (51%) of employees agree that there is bias around gender, age, race or other factors when it comes to the way companies conduct performance and compensation reviews; of these, 36% say their companies are not doing enough to address this. Just 30% reported that their organization was leveraging technology to measure and address pay equity gaps.

Lattice conducted this research into employee compensation experiences and preferences ahead of the wide rollout of the company’s compensation product, designed to connect performance and compensation to drive employee engagement and retention.

Published

By

New delivery model helps reduce migration timelines from months to weeks combining specialized AI agents with human integration experts for secure, governed API-led connectivity at scale.MuleSoft AI Pod is accessible through Glob.AI, Globant’s AI-native technology service model for delivering enterprise AI at scale.

NEW YORK, Sept. 3, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Globant, a global company focused on driving enterprise reinvention through AI, today introduced Salesforce’s MuleSoft AI Pod combining specialized AI agents with human experts to accelerate API-led connectivity and delivery. As AI initiatives become more complex, organizations need faster, more governed ways to connect the applications, data and workflows that power enterprise transformation.

Enterprises are under pressure to move agentic AI from experimentation to production, but disconnected systems and fragmented data remain a major barrier. MuleSoft AI Pod helps address that integration bottleneck by accelerating secure API-led connectivity, integration delivery and governed execution across initiatives of varying size and complexity. This AI Pod is accessible through Glob.AI, the new AI delivery model by Globant.

“As organizations look to scale Agentforce and other AI initiatives across the enterprise, integration and data readiness are becoming essential,” said Roland Berthelot, Global Head of Salesforce Studio at Globant. “MuleSoft helps establish the connectivity foundation that makes those initiatives possible. With MuleSoft AI Pod, Globant is helping customers scale integration delivery while maintaining the governance, security and expert oversight enterprise adoption requires.”

MuleSoft AI Pod is designed as flexible delivery teams that can be configured based on each customer’s integration roadmap, technical environment and delivery needs. Each pod brings together specialized AI agents for defined MuleSoft tasks with senior Globant experts who guide architecture, validate outputs and manage execution across API design, MuleSoft flow development, automated testing, governance and legacy modernization. Lean, Scaled and Advanced configurations are designed to support approximately six, up to 12 and up to 24 integration flows or APIs per month, respectively.

Benchmarks from current migration projects, internal pilots and delivery teams indicate the model can support measurable outcomes, including:

Up to 80% automation of manual integration tasks15–25% faster time-to-value and delivery cycles35% greater efficiency in solution design and development

Organizations running outdated integration platforms often face migration programs that require months of discovery, redesign and validation. This approach helps reduce migration timelines from months to weeks while preserving business logic and meeting enterprise governance standards. MuleSoft AI Pod provides a practical path to strengthen enterprise integration foundations, helping them modernize integration environments, improve delivery consistency and prepare their technology ecosystems for the next phase of AI-powered transformation. 

MuleSoft AI Pod will be accessible through Glob.AI, Globant’s AI-native platform designed to help organizations access and manage AI Pods through a unified environment. Currently available through a waitlist, Glob.AI brings together specialized AI agents and Globant experts  to instantly deploy enterprise-grade AI services with transparent, output or consumption linked pricing, not per hours or per seat.

The offering builds on Globant’s 21+ years as a Salesforce partner, with more than 1,200 projects delivered and a customer satisfaction score of 4.7 out of 5. Globant brings together more than 27,400 technologists, including 2,000+ multi-cloud experts across 58 global Delivery Centers, and has implemented more than 20 Einstein AI and Agentforce projects. As a founding partner of the Agentforce Partner Network, Globant has more than 500 Agentforce Certified Experts and 200+ Salesforce Data 360 experts, and has been recognized by Salesforce as an Implementation Level Expert for Data Cloud, MuleSoft, and Agentforce.

SuperX Continues Share Repurchases to Demonstrate Confidence in Long-Term Growth, Substantial APAC Orders Validate Growth Potential

Published

on

By

SINGAPORE, Sept. 3, 2026 /PRNewswire/ —  SuperX AI Technology Limited (NASDAQ: SUPX) (“SuperX” or the “Company”), a Nasdaq-listed full-stack AI infrastructure solutions provider, today updated the market on its share repurchase program. The Company’s ongoing secondary market repurchases represent the strategic capital allocation decision made by the Board and management, driven by their firm conviction in the Company’s intrinsic value and long-term growth prospects. The Company’s recent landmark contract wins across the Asia-Pacific region and expanding global footprint validate its solid operational fundamentals and compelling growth prospects, providing a strong foundation for its long-term development.

The Company’s Board of Directors authorized a new share repurchase program (the “2026 Repurchase Program”) as of August 6, 2026, under which the Company may repurchase up to US$20 million of its outstanding ordinary shares over the next twelve months. As of September 2, 2026, the Company has repurchased 5,630 ordinary shares under 2026 Repurchase Program at an average net repurchase price of US$7.9325 per ordinary share.

The Board and management believe the Company’s current market valuation does not fully capture its intrinsic value and long-term growth potential. Share repurchases serve as a key capital allocation tool to enhance shareholder value while preserving sufficient financial flexibility and sustaining strategic investments in core business expansion. The continued execution of repurchases demonstrates the Company’s confidence in its competitive strengths and long-term growth prospects.

SuperX has delivered robust commercial progress across the APAC region in 2026, with multiple landmark project wins validating its product competitiveness and global delivery capabilities. According to the announcements made by the Company in August 2026, the Company’s Global Supply Center in Japan has ramped up stable large-scale operations, securing four consecutive purchase orders from local key partner Digital Dynamic Inc. (DDI). Cumulative Pro6000 server shipments to DDI reached approximately US$38 million by late August 2026, with an additional US$20 million of new orders in backlog. The Company has also secured a US$38.8 million NVIDIA B300 server cluster order from Woodman Inc., scheduled for delivery in mid-November 2026, further strengthening its foothold in Japan’s high-end AI infrastructure market. In a major strategic expansion, SuperX has entered the Australian market by securing the inaugural batch of 128 NVIDIA B300 servers from local computing provider Ezisight, marking its official penetration into the Oceania AI infrastructure sector.

Backed by its sophisticated overseas supply chain, localized warehousing and scheduling systems, and integrated end-to-end delivery model, SuperX has successfully monetized next-generation NVIDIA B300 high-performance computing solutions, earning broad market recognition for its full-stack AI infrastructure offerings. The Company’s expanding order backlog and proven global project execution track record validate its resilient fundamentals and clear growth path, supporting disciplined long-term strategy execution and capital allocation activities.

The repurchases have been made from time to time in the open market at prevailing market prices, in privately negotiated transactions, in block trades, and/or through other legally permissible means, in compliance with applicable securities laws, including the safe harbor provisions of Rule 10b-18 under the U.S. Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Repurchases under the 2026 Repurchase Program may be made from time to time in the open market or through privately negotiated transactions, in compliance with applicable securities laws, including the safe harbor provisions of Rule 10b-18 under the U.S. Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and pursuant to Rule 10b5-1 trading plans.

Curve Dental Introduces Curve Memberships, Helping Practices Strengthen Patient Retention & Profitability Through Membership-Driven Care

Published

Integrated seamlessly with Curve, Curve Memberships helps practices identify enrollment opportunities, automate patient outreach and keep payments connected to billing and collections

ALPHARETTA, Ga., Sept. 3, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Curve Dental®, the leader in AI-powered, cloud-native, all-in-one dental practice management software, today announced Curve Memberships, designed to help practices identify patients who could benefit from an in-house dental membership plan, simplify enrollment and build more predictable recurring revenue.

Curve Memberships works seamlessly with the patient information dental teams already manage in Curve. Practices can engage uninsured patients and those interested in services outside their insurance coverage—such as whitening and other elective care not covered by their plan—while creating a simpler path to membership enrollment. Once patients enroll, membership payments automatically post to the patient account in Curve, keeping membership billing, collections and patient records connected to the system the practice already uses every day. The result is stronger patient loyalty and a more streamlined membership experience for the practice.

“Dental membership plans work—until they become one more thing the front desk has to remember, ” said Luke Anderson, Chief Product Officer at Curve Dental. “Curve Memberships connects with the software the team already uses all day, so identifying patients, driving enrollment and managing membership payments becomes part of the workflow—not more tasks to manage. That means practices can grow revenue without adding more work to the team’s day.”

Turning the Schedule Into an Enrollment Engine

More than 1 in 5 working-age U.S. adults have no dental benefits, according to the American Dental Association Health Policy Institute, underscoring the need for more flexible ways for patients to access and pay for dental care. In-house dental membership plans can help meet that need, but they often depend on staff recognizing an opportunity, explaining the program during a busy patient interaction and remembering to follow up afterward.

Curve Memberships streamlines that process by automatically delivering personalized invitations, helping practices grow enrollment without maintaining separate lists, spreadsheets or manual outreach campaigns.

For patients, these plans provide a straightforward, subscription-style way to understand the cost and value of their care. For practices, they can strengthen loyalty and create a more direct, predictable financial relationship with patients.

Memberships that Support a Healthier Practice

A healthy, growing practice doesn’t have to depend on insurance reimbursement alone. Membership plans can help create more predictable recurring revenue while reducing some of the administrative burden that comes with insurance-based care.

They can also support case acceptance by giving patients clearer, more approachable costs for services they may otherwise delay or decline—particularly care that falls outside insurance coverage.

Dental membership plans create a more direct relationship between the practice and patient, helping practices strengthen loyalty while giving patients a clearer path to care they value. Practices can also use the reports they already rely on in Curve to see production and collections trends across their membership patients and better understand the impact of their program.

“Membership-driven care gives practices more control over the economics of care while giving patients a clearer way to say yes to treatment,” said Anderson. “Curve Memberships helps make that easier to manage—from identifying opportunities and enrollment through payments and performance.”

Built for the Way Practices Work

Curve Memberships connects membership information with the patient record and everyday workflows dental teams already manage in Curve, giving teams greater visibility into member status and relevant care opportunities without adding another disconnected process.

Practices also receive dedicated support for setup and launch, along with a marketing toolkit designed to help introduce, promote and build participation in their membership program.

With Curve Memberships, practices can:

Identify patients who may benefit from a membership planAutomatically deliver personalized invitationsSee membership information within existing patient workflowsAuto-post payments to the patient account in CurveLaunch and promote plans with dedicated support and marketing resourcesReduce manual tracking, spreadsheets and disconnected processesMeasure contribution through Curve reporting

Expanding the Platform Practices Won’t Outgrow

Curve Memberships is the latest expansion of Curve’s end-to-end cloud platform and follows the company’s recently announced $200 million commitment to research and development. Curve continues to invest across AI, automation, payments and other tools designed to reduce complexity and help dental practices operate and grow more efficiently.

Curve Memberships will be rolled out to eligible Curve customers this month. Practices interested in learning more can visit curvedental.com/membership-plans.
