BENGALURU, India, Aug. 26, 2024 /CNW/ — Microland, India’s networking pioneer and India’s largest specialized IT infrastructure services and consulting company, is celebrating 35 years of providing technological innovation to global business leaders.

Established in 1989, Microland was the first company in India to introduce global networking giants and other technology leaders—such as Novell NetWare, Cisco, Compaq, and Netscape—to the country. Today, with its industry-leading growth and specialization in next-generation technologies such as AI, automated operations, and platform-driven solutions, Microland drives operational excellence, agility, resilience, and productivity for enterprises worldwide. Over 4,600 Microlanders deliver services in more than 100 countries across Asia, Australia, Europe, the Middle East, and North America, offering cutting-edge solutions in networks, cloud, data centers, cybersecurity, services management, applications, and automation.

Microland has continuously evolved over the last 35 years, staying ahead of technology developments to reshape itself and build on its global recognition. Today, as the company marks its 35th anniversary, it returns to its roots as a networking pioneer, shifting its focus from ‘Make digital happen’ to ‘Connect with the best.’ Microland realizes that organizations are well on their way to realizing digital adoption. They know that networks underpin the functionality and efficiency of modern digital systems, supporting productivity and innovation at the most fundamental level.

To aid the journey of its clients across a business landscape that demands continuous innovation, Microland has embraced AI. Its latest AI-powered Intelligeni platform represents a groundbreaking shift in IT service operations. At its core, Intelligeni embodies Microland’s commitment to innovation, efficiency, and client-centricity.

Engineered and perfected over the last decade, the platform harnesses AI, leading the way to a first-of-its-kind IT services administrator.

Microland has firmly placed itself on the radar of several leading industry bodies and analysts. It has been recognized globally as a Leader in the Gartner Magic Quadrant for Managed Network Services for four years in a row (2020, 2021, 2022, 2023). Based on rigorous, fact-based analysis, Gartner’s Magic Quadrant allows technology users to assess the market and its technology providers, understand their differentiators, and narrow their buying choices.

In early August 2024, Microland was awarded the prestigious World Class 5-star rating by the Service Desk Institute (SDI) for the quality of IT service and support operations. Microland is the third company globally and the first company in India to attain this accolade.

Microland has also achieved a gold rating from EcoVadis, underscoring its exceptional performance in Environment and Sustainable Procurement, reflecting its commitment to high Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) standards. At Microland, cutting-edge AI technology is integrated into every facet of its operations and customer solutions.

The Foundation uses Microland’s technological capabilities to deliver, monitor, and scale its programs.

In a message to Microland on its 35th anniversary, Peter Bendor-Samuel, Founder of Everest Group, said, “Microland excels at integrating technology with services. Where others would use labor, it uses the platforms it has invested in and developed in-house to deliver the services. Result: They are able to deliver robust, high-quality services at lower costs. This pushes them forward as a leader in the technology services space and ensures they can compete with much bigger firms.”

Speaking on the occasion of Microland’s 35th anniversary, Pradeep Kar, Founder, Chairman, and Managing Director, said, “Microland has evolved and matured over the last 35 years.

LEAP Group Relaunches HumanView, a Growth Intelligence System Built to Explain Why Customers Behave the Way They Do

Reimagined from the ground up, HumanView pairs statistical modeling with expert analysts to turn millions of real-world customer signals into business decisions

LOUISVILLE, Ky., Oct. 23, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — LEAP Group today announced the relaunch of HumanView, its growth intelligence service. The new version has been rebuilt from the ground up and now has a dedicated home at leapgroupnetwork.com/humanview.

HumanView analyzes what customers say and do across social platforms, e-commerce sites, review platforms, search behavior and user-generated content, including signals from Reddit, TikTok, YouTube, Meta, Amazon and Walmart+ that general AI tools cannot always access. Because the data reflects unprompted, real-world behavior, it avoids the response bias built into surveys and focus groups.

The service works in three layers. HumanView captures signals at scale, decodes millions of records through validated statistical models such as regression, correlation and clustering, and then relies on experienced analysts to interpret the patterns. Clients receive clear, human-validated insights instead of another dashboard.

“Machines find the patterns. Humans find the point,” said Alan Gilleo, CEO at LEAP Group. “The first version of HumanView showed us how much customers reveal when nobody is asking them questions. This version is built to explain why they act the way they do, and to put those answers in front of everyone making decisions, from product to service to marketing.”

HumanView focuses on three areas:

Growth Intelligence: customer motivations and how people perceive a brand and its competitors

Market and Category Intelligence: product pain points, service friction, unmet needs and competitive gaps

Audience Intelligence: new segments, positioning opportunities and gaps in the market

Every model is designed and validated by data scientists and benchmarked before it informs a recommendation.

About LEAP Group
LEAP Group is a boutique marketing agency holding company with offices in Louisville, Indianapolis, Cincinnati and Chicago. Guided by the belief that brands should “Market Less. Matter More.,” LEAP gives clients access to specialized experts across its entire network. Learn more at leapgroupnetwork.com.

STEPHEN A. SMITH ADDRESSES WHITE HOUSE DINNER ATTENDANCE, REAFFIRMS COMMITMENT TO HBCUs AND PROTECTING CORPORATE INVESTMENT IN BLACK EDUCATION

NEW YORK, Oct. 23, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Stephen A. Smith, media mogul, New York Times bestselling author, and proud 1991 graduate of Winston-Salem State University, is addressing the public discussion surrounding his decision to attend a White House dinner with President Donald Trump, emphasizing his commitment to the long-term financial stability of Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs).

For Smith, the decision was rooted in a commitment to institutions that have educated generations of Black leaders, professionals, entrepreneurs, and public servants.

“I will always advocate for HBCUs and the students whose futures depend on them,” Smith said. “My reason for attending the White House dinner was to discuss the challenges these institutions face in securing long-term funding and to make the case that corporate America must continue to invest in them.”

Smith acknowledged federal support through the FUTURE Act while expressing concern that political tensions surrounding diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) could discourage private companies from supporting HBCUs. He maintains that these institutions deserve sustained corporate partnerships, philanthropic contributions, and public investment.

“If we truly believe in free-market capitalism, businesses should be able to support educational institutions and charitable causes without fear of criticism or repercussions,” Smith said. “HBCUs have made extraordinary contributions to this country. They deserve sustained public and private investment.”

Ashley Christopher, Esq., Founder and CEO of the HBCU Week Foundation, recognized Smith’s advocacy and decision to engage with the administration.

“Stephen A. Smith has been a powerful advocate for HBCUs, using his platform and influence to shine a national spotlight on our institutions,” expressed Christopher, “His continued support of HBCU Week helps advance our mission of connecting students with life-changing educational opportunities, and we are proud to have him as our ambassador.”

Since Smith became an HBCU Week Ambassador in 2019, the initiative has facilitated more than 15,000 on-the-spot college acceptances and raised and awarded more than $150 million in scholarships, according to the HBCU Week Foundation.

As public discussion continues, Smith is emphasizing the importance of ensuring HBCUs have the resources and partnerships needed to educate future generations and expand opportunities for students.
