PARIS, Nov. 21, 2024 /CNW/ — Pigment, the business planning platform, today announced that it has been recognized by Gartner as a Visionary in the Magic Quadrant for Financial Planning Software. A complimentary copy of the report is available here.

In today’s environment, business agility and adaptability are essential for success. Pigment empowers organizations to meet these demands through its innovative, efficient architecture. With Pigment, data is consistent across applications and functions, facilitating truly integrated business planning. Pigment’s sparse engine also means that the platform is able to handle large datasets without running into performance issues.

“We are honored to be recognized in the Gartner  Magic Quadrant for Financial Planning Software. We believe this reflects the depth of our vision and our strong track record delivering on our roadmap,” said Eléonore Crespo, co-CEO and co-Founder, Pigment. “Effective planning is the foundation of strategic decision-making, but to do this effectively, businesses need powerful, collaborative planning platforms that prioritize continuous innovation and user experience. While many solutions have fallen short, Pigment is bridging these gaps by delivering on product strategy and prioritizing the customer experience.”

Pigment’s product strategy is built on three pillars, all of which we believe have contributed to our inclusion and positioning in the Gartner  Magic Quadrant for Financial Planning Software.

Efficient architecture

Pigment’s architecture is flexible, scalable, and connected, to facilitate truly integrated business planning at scale. Data integration is a key part of this, establishing a shared language across teams that facilitates collaboration, reduces manual errors and accelerates decision making. As such, businesses are in a better position to make more informed decisions.

A commitment to continuous product innovation

Pigment’s product strategy focuses on delivering a solution that meets the needs of all diverse stakeholders involved in financial planning. Key updates released in the last year include Pigment, new integrations with enterprise tech stacks, and additional security controls.

By prioritizing innovation, user experience, and performance optimization, Pigment enhances integrated business planning, which both elevates financial planning and fosters agility throughout the organization.

Looking ahead, Pigment will continue to further this through expanded AI capabilities such as machine learning for statistical forecasting and assisted modeling, as well as intuitive reporting visualizations, additional integrations, and use-case specific updates.

Exceptional product and customer experiences

Pigment is committed to delivering a gold standard for customer and user experience that

begins at implementation and continues through the customer journey.

This includes a focus on building an intuitive platform that is easy to use, structured methodologies to ensure that every Pigment implementation is a success, and promoting business-owned upkeep so that organizations can manage the use of Pigment independently.

We feel Pigment’s recognition as a 2024 Customers’ Choice in the Gartner  Voice of the Customer for Financial Planning Software also highlighted a strong focus on delivering exceptional customer experiences for businesses.

“No matter how advanced a product is, if it’s difficult to use, poorly implemented, or is difficult to maintain, adoption will suffer, and it won’t fulfill its potential of delivering value to a business,” said Romain Niccoli, co-founder and co-CEO of Pigment. That’s why we’ve always prioritized creating a product that’s not only powerful, but also easy to use and genuinely loved by our customers. By staying committed to our customers’ needs and continuously innovating we’re ensuring that Pigment will always remain a trusted partner in helping them achieve their goals.

MARRAKECH, Morocco, Oct. 27, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — The International Association of Anti-Corruption Authorities (IAACA), an independent and non-political anti-corruption organisation with over 190 member anti-corruption authorities (ACAs) worldwide, will co-host IAACA Annual Conference 2026 in Marrakech, Morocco next month together with the Independent Commission Against Corruption of Hong Kong, China (ICAC) and the National Authority for Probity, Prevention and Fight Against Corruption of Morocco (INPPLC) to chart a path for the global graft fight and explore cutting-edge approaches to tackle emerging corruption challenges.

Themed “Building on 20 Years of Legacy: Drawing Strength from the Past, Guarding Global Integrity for the Future”, the international event will not only mark the 20th anniversary of the IAACA, but also provide a dynamic forum for IAACA members to exchange insights and enhance co-operation.

Calling on international counterparts to participate in the conference scheduled for November 25, IAACA President Mr Woo Ying-ming, who also serves as ICAC Commissioner, said that “As the IAACA marks its 20th anniversary, the conference will bring together global anti-corruption community at a pivotal moment for collective action. I anticipate that the valuable insights and new approaches generated through the international synergy will chart a resilient strategic path for us to navigate integrity risks and draw strength from our shared legacy to guard global integrity for generations to come.”

During the conference, renowned international experts from the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC), Basel Institute on Governance, the International Anti-Corruption Academy, and global anti-corruption and law enforcement agencies and institutions will shed light on harnessing artificial intelligence in the fight against corruption, safeguarding integrity within global climate and biodiversity frameworks and analysing global corruption measurement and systemic effectiveness.

Following the conference, the ICAC, the INPPLC, the IAACA and the UNODC will co-organise a training seminar on leveraging AI in combating corruption.

While the ICAC and INPPLC will share how AI and new technology can reshape the future of anti-graft enforcement and corruption prevention, the UNODC will provide a global perspective on using AI models in financial crime investigations and addressing the operational relevance, legal robustness and adaptability across jurisdictions.

Viettel moves 100 million subscribers to home-grown cloud-native charging in three months – with zero downtime

HANOI, Vietnam, Oct. 27, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Viettel High Technology Industries Corporation (Viettel High Tech), part of Viettel Group, has migrated more than 100 million subscribers and some 5,000 tariff plans at Viettel, Vietnam’s largest mobile operator, to vOCS 4.0, its in-house cloud-native charging system. The three-month cutover ran on a live national network with no service disruption.

Replacing a charging system is one of the riskiest projects an operator can undertake, which is why many stick with legacy platforms. Viettel High Tech reduced the risk through real-time data synchronization, parallel running and a phased cutover, with instant rollback at every stage.

The project won the Telecom Review Excellence Awards 2026 prize for Best Technology Deployment in Asia, a first for a Vietnamese company.

What it means for operators:

Scale: more than 300,000 transactions per second at latency below 5 milliseconds, across 2G–5G and fixed services on one platformLower cost: up to 50% less hardware investment than the previous generation, by sharing infrastructure with the networkAgility: new tariff plans in hours instead of days, new features three times faster and deployments about 30% fasterResilience: two active data centers about 2,000 km apart and automatic recovery in under two minutes

Viettel High Tech developed every core layer in-house, from a telecom-grade cloud-native platform and NFV-MANO orchestration to real-time charging, subscriber and balance management.

“Passing rigorous tests of real-time self-diagnosis and self-recovery is what allows an operator to keep its promise of 24/7 service to customers,” said Luu Manh Ha, CEO of Viettel Networks, which operates the system on Viettel’s network in Vietnam. “Above all, owning the charging system means an operator is not dependent on foreign vendors – it safeguards digital sovereignty and preserves business flexibility.”

“The charging system is where an operator’s business strategy turns into revenue in real time,” said Nguyen Minh Quang, CEO of Viettel High Tech. “We believe vOCS 4.0 is ready to help operators worldwide capture the value of 5G and digital services.”

In 2017, vOCS 4.0’s predecessor, vOCS 3.0, replaced a foreign vendor’s platform for 90 million Viettel subscribers. Across both generations, vOCS serves more than 220 million subscribers in 11 countries. Viettel High Tech now offers vOCS 4.0 to operators worldwide.
