Published

February 26, 2025

As professional services navigate automation, AI, and budget restrictions, Rocketlane introduces Propel25—its flagship conference designed to explore paths to radical efficiency. This flagship event explores themes relevant to professional services leaders, with this year’s event bringing focus on how service teams can become smarter, more agile, and AI-driven, transforming the way they operate, collaborate, and deliver value.

SAN MATEO, Calif., Feb. 26, 2025 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ — The global AI market is set to grow by 38% in 2025, with Agentic AI emerging as one of the leading trends for the new year. (1) According to a survey of U.S. IT executives at companies with revenue over $1 billion, 37% of respondents say they are already using Agentic AI, and 93% are either extremely or very interested in exploring it. (2) Amid this shift, professional services teams face growing pressure to embrace these new tools. “Every organization is turning to AI and automation, and professional services teams cannot afford to be the exception in this increasingly competitive landscape. Yet, they’ve lagged behind compared to marketing, customer support, and product development teams,” notes Srikrishnan Ganesan, CEO & Co-founder of Rocketlane, a leading SaaS platform for professional services management. “That’s why our 4th edition of Propel25 aims to serve as a catalyst, encouraging organizations to think big and prepare their teams to be more agile, intelligent, and efficient.”

“Every organization is turning to AI and automation, and professional services teams cannot afford to be the exception in this increasingly competitive landscape.” — Srikrishnan Ganesan, CEO & Co-founder of Rocketlane

The Intelligent Delivery Organization: Overcoming AI Adoption Challenges
Even though the need for modernization in the professional services industry is evident, many still struggle to integrate AI at scale. While 44% of professionals express optimism about AI’s role in their work, skepticism remains. Around 35% of organizations are still in the consideration phase, uncertain about how to integrate AI across their operations. Additionally, 70% worry about inaccurate AI responses, data security risks, and ethical concerns. (3)
Poor data quality and ineffective governance are among the biggest barriers to AI success. (4) Organizations often struggle with disconnected, unstandardized data, leading to inaccurate analyses and unreliable AI outcomes. (5) Without a solid data foundation and governance strategy, businesses risk inefficiency and missing valuable insights.
Another major reason for this hesitation is the belief that high-touch, consultative engagements leave little room for AI-driven automation, and many assume that automating professional services tasks is impractical. “Beyond these misconceptions, a closer look at the work of implementation managers, PS consultants, and other service professionals reveals numerous micro-tasks that are ideal candidates for agentic automation,” explains Ganesan.
As budgets tighten, firms can no longer afford to rely on static, legacy systems —they must adopt the next generation of technology and evolve into the “Intelligent Delivery Organization.” This new model embraces AI, agility, and automation, creating an adaptive, data-driven ecosystem. The key lies in a more intentional focus on where teams spend their time and which activities can be automated or augmented with AI, particularly through human-in-the-loop approaches.

Beyond Automation: How AI is Transforming Task Execution in Professional Services Delivery
While automation has historically been used to handle recurring duties, and 42% of business activities are expected to be fully automated by 2027, AI’s growing capabilities are reshaping industries beyond simple efficiency gains. (5) For the Professional Services and delivery industry, AI-driven automation is a game-changer—enhancing project management, resource allocation, customer insights, knowledge management and workflow optimization.
“Professional services organizations now face the need to move from reactive problem-solving to proactive AI-led optimization, governance, and automation to future-proof their delivery and CX” points out Ganesan.
AI-driven intelligent agents are already transforming key areas of professional services by:

Enhancing communication and project tracking – Implementing automated follow-ups, status updates, and project documentation.Optimizing meeting-driven workflows – Automating critical documentation tasks, reducing administrative overhead.Streamlining customer feedback and requirements gathering – Using AI to collect, analyze, and respond to client input more efficiently.

AI isn’t just a tool—it’s an intelligent teammate that can support both leaders and execution teams by taking on routine yet critical tasks. Propel25 will showcase how leading companies are making groundbreaking advances in this space, proving that AI in professional services isn’t just about efficiency—it’s about delivering higher quality and smarter operations.

Maximizing Impact: How Propel25 Helps Organizations Do More with Less
By embracing intelligent automation, businesses can streamline operations and empower teams to focus on high-value work. Propel25 will spotlight how teams are using AI to automate everyday tasks, actively support teammates, and introduce agents that do the work—not just recommend actions. The event will focus on execution, showcasing real-world applications of AI that enhance decision-making and improve operational agility.

Key takeaways:

Intelligent Automation: Implement automation solutions that optimize resource use, reduce costs, and improve operational efficiency.AI-Driven Decision-Making: Integrate AI to drive productivity and provide teams with the tools to anticipate and respond to challenges faster.Navigating Budgetary Constraints: Propel25 stresses the importance of making strategic, data-driven investments that will sustain growth and profitability in a cost-conscious environment.

Propel, Rocketlane’s flagship conference, will take place May 14–15 in San Francisco, California, and will bring together leaders in professional services and delivery for an unparalleled learning and networking experience.
As Ganesan concludes, “Propel25 invites us to rethink how we work, how we lead, and how we elevate the delivery experience—for our teams, our customers, and our industry as a whole.”

Air and Fathom5 Partner to Modernize Naval Fleet Readiness

Published

53 minutes ago

July 20, 2026

ARLINGTON, Va. and AUSTIN, Texas, July 20, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Air, the leader in Enterprise Readiness, and Fathom5, a technology company dedicated to secure infrastructure for AI-powered machines, today announced a strategic partnership to transform the U.S. Navy’s maintenance, repair, and overhaul (MRO) capabilities.

The collaboration follows Fathom5’s selection as a winner in the Defense Innovation Unit’s NextMRO Prize Challenge Phase III, which aims to replace antiquated, siloed logistics frameworks with integrated, data-driven software. Fathom5 won based on its ability to transform real-world Navy data into intuitive, sailor-facing applications at the tactical edge.

To scale this solution for enterprise-wide Navy procurement, Fathom5 and Air are uniting Fathom5’s industry-leading, warship-deployed Condition-Based Maintenance AI with Air’s Enterprise Readiness platform. Air’s platform is purpose-built to close the “Readiness Gap”—the dangerous chasm between what the front line needs and what the enterprise delivers. It fuses predictive analytics, supply chain visibility, and repair cycle forecasting into a unified system that operates across Organizational, Intermediate, and Depot maintenance.

Together, the companies will address the Navy’s most critical sustainment vulnerabilities with the ability to:

Eliminate data silos and provide a single, authoritative source of truth.Use natural language to query technical manuals, analyze parts availability, proactively forecast issues, and identify alternative vendors in seconds, andAllow forward-deployed Sailors to execute work orders offline in Degraded, Denied, Intermittent, and Limited (DDIL) environments.

Proven Defense Impact

Air brings a successful track record of optimization across the Department of War. In recent sustainment operations, Air delivered a 99.6% reduction in part identification time, identifying replacement parts and suitable substitutes in minutes instead of days. By accelerating part allocation and replacing manual processes, the platform has saved commands hundreds of down days annually while sustaining 90% equipment readiness across echelons.

“This partnership will be pivotal as we work to close the Readiness Gap,” said Tara Murphy Dougherty, CEO of Air. “Together, Fathom5 and Air are uniquely positioned to accelerate Naval logistics by drastically shortening turnaround times, maximizing asset availability, and executing modern digital workflows at the speed of operational demand.”

“The future of naval readiness depends on giving Sailors the right information at the right time, wherever the mission takes them,” said Zac Staples, Founder and CEO of Fathom5. “By combining Fathom5’s AI-powered Condition-Based Maintenance capabilities with Air’s Enterprise Readiness platform, we’re helping transform maintenance from a reactive process into a predictive, data-driven advantage. Together, we’re enabling a more resilient fleet that can sustain operations in contested environments while keeping more ships mission-ready.”

About Fathom5

Fathom5, headquartered in Austin, Texas, develops secure digital infrastructure and advanced actuator technologies that strengthen the resilience and readiness of complex industrial systems. The company has achieved significant milestones, including delivering the first program-of-record artificial intelligence system deployed aboard a U.S. Navy warship and securing 17 patents across actuator technology and cybersecurity. Through its flagship Nsyte platform, Fathom5 provides secure edge infrastructure for maintenance and readiness applications, enabling advanced analytics and actionable insights at the point of need. For more information, please visit www.fathom5.com.

About Air

Air, formerly Govini, created Enterprise Readiness, a new category of AI-native systems that close the Readiness Gap, the dangerous chasm between what the front line needs and what the national security enterprise can deliver. Air Enterprise Readiness platform aligns development, production, delivery, and sustainment into one coordinated execution system, revealing true capacity, exposing real constraints, coordinating critical resources, and executing at the speed of operational demands.The result: the national security enterprise has what it needs to succeed.

DoubleLine Paper: Honebuto Shock: Japan Courts a Truss-Like Redux

Published

53 minutes ago

July 20, 2026

TAMPA, Fla., July 20, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Sell-offs in Japanese Government Bonds (JGBs) and the yen have put Japanese Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi on notice, a DoubleLine paper argues, that Japan’s creditors have little tolerance for her government’s unorthodox proposal for a mixture of unfunded fiscal expansion with docile central-banking.

Surveying the “Honebuto shock,” so-named after debt-and-yen sell-off following Tokyo’s annual fiscal policy statement, Bill Campbell, head of the DoubleLine’s Global Sovereign & Emerging Markets team, sees parallels to the gilts and British pound revolt over a 2022 proposal for unfunded fiscal expansion by U.K. Prime Minister Liz Truss that swiftly brought down her government.

“Having committed to more than 370 trillion yen of public-private investment through fiscal 2040, the government is calling for monetary policy “in coordination with” that growth agenda,” Mr. Campbell writes. “In the eyes of the financial markets, this demand for the subordination of monetary policy to a political platform only adds fuel to the fire beneath a central bank already under criticism for what critics deem an overly cautious rate-hiking path.”

Mr. Campbell warns, “The Takaichi government should not assume the JGB market, having found its voice, will prove more patient than the gilts market that laid low the Truss government in 2022. In today’s inflationary climate, fiscal credibility is earned, not presumed – even in the G-7 countries. And a G-7 sovereign who embarks on unfunded fiscal expansion risks courting a buyers’ strike.”

The paper, titled “Honebuto Shock: Japan Courts a Truss-Like Redux,” is available here: https://doubleline.com/wp-content/uploads/DoubleLine_Honebuto-Truss-Redux_Campbell_071526.pdf

Mr. Campbell heads the Global Sovereign & Emerging Markets team at DoubleLine and serves as the lead Portfolio Manager for emerging markets and international fixed-income strategies. He is a permanent member of the firm’s Fixed Income Asset Allocation Committee. Mr. Campbell has written extensively in research papers and client briefings on evolving trends and episodic developments in global fixed income and currency markets. He holds a B.S. in Business Economics and International Business, as well as a B.A. in English, from Pennsylvania State University and an M.A. in Mathematics, with a focus on Mathematical Finance, from Boston University.

About the Global Sovereign & Emerging Markets Team

The Global Sovereign & Emerging Markets team at DoubleLine manages $XX billion in assets in sovereign debt, including U.S. Treasuries and non-U.S. sovereign issues, and corporate fixed income securities by issuers domiciled in ex-U.S. developed and emerging markets. The team comprises 14 investment professionals, including portfolio managers, analysts and traders.

Signeasy expands beyond eSignatures with Intelligent Contract Management for growing businesses

Published

53 minutes ago

July 20, 2026

The platform combines eSignatures, AI-powered contract insights, renewal tracking, and a centralized contract repository to help businesses manage contracts from signature to renewal.

DALLAS, July 20, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Signeasy today announced its Intelligent Contract Management platform, extending its product capabilities into every stage of the contract lifecycle. The platform gives Finance, Legal, Sales, HR, Procurement, and Operations teams one place to sign, manage, and get insights from every contract.

For most growing businesses, the real work starts after a contract is signed. Renewal dates, payment terms, obligations, and key clauses end up scattered across inboxes, shared drives, and spreadsheets. Without a large legal operations team, keeping track of them is manual, reactive work.

Signeasy’s Intelligent Contract Management platform closes this gap. It brings eSignatures, a contract repository, and contract intelligence into one platform.

“Contracts touch every part of a business — Finance, Legal, Sales, HR, Procurement, Operations — but the tools to effectively manage them have always been built for enterprise legal teams. We built Intelligent Contract Management so lean teams get the same contract visibility and intelligence as companies five times their size.”

— Sunil Patro, Founder & CEO, Signeasy

Signeasy’s Intelligent Contract Management platform includes:

Centralized Contract Repository: Store every executed contract in one searchable place — no digging through inboxes or shared drives.Conversational AI search: Ask questions about any contract in plain language, follow-up, and get answers with context instead of reviewing documents manually. Customer data is never used to train AI models.Key Term Extraction: Surface payment terms, renewal dates, obligations, and termination clauses instantly.Renewal Tracking and Alerts: Get automated reminders before contracts expire or auto-renew, so commitments never catch teams by surprise.Team Workspaces: Share visibility into contract status, with confidentiality controls for every team that touches contracts.eSignatures: Collect legally binding signatures from anywhere, on any device, and automate approval workflows to get contracts signed faster.

There’s no six-month implementation cycle. Businesses can bulk import existing contracts and onboard teams within hours with hands-on support from Signeasy.

Signeasy’s Intelligent Contract Management platform is available now. Visit www.signeasy.com to request a demo.

About Signeasy

Signeasy is an Intelligent Contract Management (ICM) platform built for growing businesses managing contracts across Finance, Legal, Sales, HR, Procurement, and Operations. Teams can prepare, sign, track, and manage contracts from one platform, with AI-powered workflows, integrations for Microsoft, Google, and HubSpot, and enterprise-grade security and compliance.
