ProHance Launches AI Adoption Index to Show What AI Is Changing at Work

A scorecard to help organizations confirm that AI use is approved, applied to real work and producing results

SYDNEY, Nov. 2, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — ProHance, an AI-led Productivity Orchestration platform, today launched the AI Adoption Index, an AI realization scorecard that helps enterprises measure AI usage and confirm that it is on approved tools, applied to real work and turning into delivered value.

The launch comes as unmanaged AI use draws closer scrutiny. A 2026 industry study of data breaches found that incidents involving shadow AI, meaning AI tools used by employees without IT approval, accounted for 43% of all breaches, up from 20% in 2025. Among organizations reporting an AI-related security incident, 92% lacked adequate AI access controls.

Enterprises can usually see who uses AI and how much. Leadership still lacks answers on whether that use is sanctioned, whether it reaches real work, and what it produces.

For every enterprise, the AI Adoption Index lets leaders:

Map: See how AI is used across teams, from AI-Aware to AI-First.Measure: Identify which teams are behind on adoption.Mitigate: Detect shadow AI and keep a permanent audit trail.

Usage analytics stop at activity. Governance and security tools control approval and spend but cannot show whether AI changes how work gets done, and a separate set of tools tracks output shipped. The AI Adoption Index brings all three views together in one place, across every AI tool and every team.

“ProHance is envisioning to solve a critical problem of assessing AI’s impact on the workforce by helping leaders understand how to reskill and reshape their workforce with AI by measuring actual impact of AI and humans together,” said Ankur Dhingra, CEO, ProHance. “AI Adoption Index shows leaders who is using what, how deeply, at what cost, and where AI is running without approval, measured from the work itself, so they can decide where to act.”

The Index follows ProHance’s launch of its outcome measurement layer for Outsourcing Performance Management (OPM), which gives enterprises independent evidence of what their outsourced and contingent teams deliver. Across both launches, ProHance is focused on driving visibility for enterprises, so that AI-ready organizations can improve outcomes from their people and their AI together.

Webull Australia doubles down on its adviser platform as Australian financial advisers face capacity squeeze

Published

on

By

Webull is expanding Webull Connect with Connect AI, Iress Xplan integration and LAB Group enabled onboarding and transfersAustralian adviser platforms held more than $1.22 trillion in funds under advice in March 2026, while adviser numbers have fallen around 42 per cent since 2019The expanded platform is designed to cut administration and help advisers manage more client work

SYDNEY, Nov. 2, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Webull Securities (Australia) Pty Ltd (“Webull Australia”), a subsidiary of Webull Corporation (NASDAQ: BULL), the owner of the Webull trading platform, has rolled out new features for Webull Connect, its portfolio management and execution platform for Australian financial advisers, as it continues to advance its offering for the advice sector.

Australia’s financial advisers serve one of the world’s largest pools of retirement savings, and demand for advice is set to grow. Investment platforms used by advisers and their clients held $1.22 trillion in funds under advice as of March 2026.

Yet the profession serving that demand is shrinking. Licensed adviser numbers have fallen 42 per cent since the start of 2019, from around 26,500 to 15,413 at the end of June 2026. With fewer advisers looking after more clients and more assets, time has become the profession’s scarcest resource, and administration is taking up much of it.

Webull Connect’s latest update is built to address that capacity squeeze. New features include:

Connect AI: an AI assistant that assists advisers with routine operational queries and accelerates report workflows, with instant portfolio insights and summaries of client position exposures rolling out in early November. Advisers can currently use up to 5,000 queries per month at no cost.Bulk Onboarding and Transfer: in collaboration with LAB Group, bulk client registration, digital onboarding and portfolio migration, with HIN transfers for multiple clients initiated and tracked in one place.Iress Xplan Integration: built in collaboration with Iress, providing streamlined client portfolio integration with Xplan to improve workflow efficiency and client management.Bulk Trade: a single entry point to build diversified portfolios across the ASX and international markets, with orders across multiple client accounts executed separately or centrally and transparent average-price allocations.Webull Trade Terminal: multi-window layouts, advanced real-time charting, deep market depth and instant hotkey routing, giving advisers the same experience as Webull traders.Webull Connect Mobile App: a new app that lets advised clients follow their portfolios, order status and market insights, with the same experience Webull’s retail clients enjoy.

“When we launched Webull Connect in February, we said international market access was the real differentiator. Since then, advisers have told us the other thing holding them back is time,” said Rob Talevski, CEO of Webull Australia. “Australia’s advice sector looks after more than a trillion dollars, with roughly half the advisers it had a few years ago. We’re doubling down on Webull Connect because we see a real opportunity to help advisers do more with less, from onboarding a new client to building a global portfolio.”

Looking ahead, Webull Australia plans to broaden the platform further with access to Japanese markets, regulated crypto and digital asset access, and US bond and fixed income access, giving advisers more of the building blocks their clients need on a single platform.
