Infoquest Opens Americas Office

Published

on

DUBAI, UAE, April 21, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Infoquest, the custom sourcing expert network, announces the official opening of its Americas headquarters. The office marks the firm’s first physical presence in the Western Hemisphere and establishes a dedicated hub for all Americas-based client operations across the United States, Canada, and Latin America.

Founded in 2023, Infoquest has built a rapidly growing expert network serving leading consulting firms, private equity investors, and corporate strategy teams across EMEA. The Americas’ expansion was driven by a sustained increase in demand from North American clients requiring expert network coverage, combined with the need to align the company’s operations with its Americas client base.

This expansion addresses the limits of traditional expert databases, which struggle to provide the precision needed for specific research demands. Infoquest overcomes this by custom-sourcing every expert from scratch, ensuring exact profile matches for each brief. This approach delivers higher relevance and faster turnaround, regardless of sector. The new Americas office extends this bespoke sourcing capability to the Western Hemisphere with a dedicated regional team.

“Infoquest grew from zero to 50+ FTEs in under three years for a reason. We built a next-gen network on custom sourcing because the right expert usually isn’t pre-registered anywhere, and even when they are, legacy networks miss the context behind client requests. The Americas is where that demand is growing fastest. If your team is tired of settling for close enough, we’re here now.” 

Omar Yamak, CEO, Infoquest

The Americas office launches with all core Infoquest service lines. The firm serves clients across management consulting, private equity, venture capital, and corporate strategy, with coverage spanning energy, infrastructure, financial services, technology, consumer markets, and more throughout the hemisphere.

To mark the opening, Infoquest is offering new Americas clients two complimentary expert calls on their first project. Full details are available at Infoquest Americas.

ABOUT INFOQUEST

Infoquest is a custom sourcing expert network founded in 2023, operating across GCC, EMEA, and the Americas. The firm connects consulting firms, investors, and corporate clients with verified subject matter experts for primary research, due diligence, market intelligence, and strategic advisory, delivered in under two hours, at approximately 30% below market rate.

Showcasing India’s first production-ready advanced packaging capabilities for Data Center Interconnects and Quantum Infrastructure

BENGALURU, India, Sept. 15, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — izmo Limited (NSE: IZMO) (BSE: 532341) today announced that its semiconductor subsidiary, izmo Microsystems Pvt. Ltd., will showcase a range of production-stage silicon photonics products and advanced packaging technologies at SEMICON India 2026.

The izmo Microsystems exhibit will showcase next-generation silicon photonics packaging, featuring functional products that are currently in production. These include a Quantum Random Number Generator module, a Quantum Key Distribution module packaged for Pramatra, a Thin-Film Lithium Niobate modulator packaged for CCRAFT, and advanced photonic characterization packages developed and manufactured entirely by izmo Microsystems.

The showcase highlights izmo Microsystems’ unique position as the first Indian company to undertake the highly specialized packaging required to convert photonic integrated circuits into functional modules – a capability historically restricted to specialized facilities outside of India. By combining package design, precision assembly, and manufacturing under one roof, the company supports customers from initial prototyping through full commercial production.

At SEMICON India, izmo Microsystems will also preview its next-generation optical transceiver portfolio, scheduled for commercial launch in 2027.

Silicon photonics is an important enabling technology for AI infrastructure, high-performance computing, quantum technologies, defence, aerospace and secure communications. By transmitting data using light rather than electrical signals, it delivers the bandwidth and energy efficiency required to overcome the speed and heat-generation bottlenecks in modern advanced computing.

This strategic importance is driving a global optical transceiver market, projected by Research and Markets to exceed US$30 billion by 2030. Demand is being accelerated by the expansion of AI clusters and cloud infrastructure investments in India from hyperscalers like AWS, Microsoft, and Google, creating a requirement for high-speed, energy-efficient optical connectivity.

This commercial development program is bolstered by izmo Microsystems’ strategic partnership with the IIT Madras-led CPPICS Photonics Mission, supporting the translation of indigenous photonics research into commercially manufacturable products.

Dinanath Soni, Director, izmo Microsystems Pvt. Ltd., said:

“SEMICON India gives us an opportunity to showcase silicon photonics products that are manufactured by us and demonstrate the advanced packaging expertise we have built in India. Our strength lies in advanced package design and manufacturing, taking customers from initial development through to production.

As the first Indian company to undertake silicon photonics packaging, we are helping establish a domestic capability with applications across AI, high-performance computing, quantum technologies, defence and secure communications. This progress reflects the work of our engineering teams and our collaboration with IIT Madras through CPPICS. Our forthcoming optical transceiver portfolio will build on this expertise to address growing demand in India and international markets.”

Through its participation at SEMICON India 2026, izmo Microsystems aims to cement India’s emerging capabilities in advanced packaging and strengthen its engagement with customers, research institutions, and strategic partners.

About izmo Microsystems Pvt. Ltd.

izmo Microsystems Pvt. Ltd., a subsidiary of izmo Limited, is an advanced semiconductor packaging and manufacturing company based in Bengaluru, India. The company provides end-to-end support from package design and development through prototyping, precision assembly, fiber attachment, characterization, qualification and manufacturing.

SAJ Electric unveils HS5 EK series and celebrates partner momentum with Alex de Minaur in Brisbane

Published

on

By

BRISBANE, Australia, Sept. 15, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — On 14 September, SAJ hosted over 100 of Australia’s leading solar and energy storage decision-makers at Pat Rafter Arena, Brisbane, for an evening with brand ambassador Alex de Minaur, a first look at the company’s new HS5 EK70 and EK90 series of energy storage systems, and a celebration of its expanding Australian distribution network.

The invitation-only event brought together installers, distributors and industry representatives from across the country, days before de Minaur takes the court at the same venue for Australia’s Davis Cup tie against Poland.

Alex de Minaur joins SAJ as brand ambassador

De Minaur, the Australian No. 1 men’s singles player, is the face of SAJ’s “Relentless Energy” campaign. The partnership pairs de Minaur’s reputation for consistency, speed, accuracy and endurance with SAJ’s reliable, long-life residential energy storage.

On the night, lucky guests had the opportunity to watch de Minaur train on the arena court, then play King of the Court against him before he joined SAJ leadership in the event space.

First look at the HS5 EK70 and EK90

The evening marked the Australian debut of the SAJ HS5 EK70, an all-in-one residential energy storage system that combines solar inverter, battery storage, backup power, energy management system, and EV charger in a single integrated unit. The EK70 supports whole-house backup (63A bypass), one-click diagnosis and automatic CT correction via the elekeeper app, reducing commissioning errors and time, while the Wireless-Pro Meter enables stable, long-range communication for fast, hassle-free installation. The EK70 carries a 10-year warranty rated at 10,000 battery cycles.

Safety features include full-coverage battery temperature sensors, cell insulation boards, an integrated aerosol fire suppression system and battery pressure relief valves. SAJ’s AI Saving, AI Keeper, AI Edge and AI Designer functions manage charging, backup reserve, tariff optimisation and system design.

The EK70 will be available through SAJ’s Australian distribution partners and is now CEC-approved. SAJ is the first brand in the industry to be listed under the new standard SA TS 5398.

SAJ also previewed the HS5 EK90, the next model in the series, which builds on the EK70 platform with AI-enabled AFCI, on-device edge AI, vehicle-to-grid and vehicle-to-home (V2G/V2H) capability (coming later), and a battery design certified to UL 9540A. The EK90 is rated at 12,000 battery cycles with a 15-year warranty and is expected to arrive in Australia later this year.

Powered by elekeeper 5.0

The HS5 EK series ships with elekeeper 5.0, SAJ’s next-generation energy management platform, launched in Australia on 10 September. elekeeper 5.0 supports dynamic tariffs, negative pricing and smart scheduling, and connects with the VPP and dynamic-tariff platforms Australian households already use, including Amber, Evergen, GloBird Energy, Origin, POWSTON and Synergy.

Five AI capabilities cover the full system lifecycle. AI Designer handles PV layout, equipment matching and return-on-investment modelling for installers; AI Care lets installers verify wiring and scan battery health remotely and action fixes with a single click; AI Saving optimises energy use against forecast generation, household demand and electricity prices, and is already running across more than 10,000 residential and C&I sites worldwide; AI Edge keeps optimisation running locally if connectivity drops; and AI Keeper provides natural-language assistance for homeowners and energy professionals.

The elekeeper app is available now on the Apple App Store and Google Play and comes as standard with SAJ’s latest generation of solar and storage products.

Leadership sets out Australian growth plans

SAJ’s senior leadership attended the event, including Care Guan (Senior Director of APAC & MENA Region), Alan Li (AU Country Manager), and Vincent Dyer (Senior Sales Manager), who outlined the company’s investment and growth plans for the Australian market.

Smart Energy Council Chief Executive David McElrea also addressed guests on the outlook for Australia’s rooftop solar and home battery sector and the opportunity it presents for installers.

Partner network expands

The event celebrated SAJ’s continued cooperation with One Stop Warehouse and the 1GWh deal signed earlier this year, and welcomed Supply Partners and Tradezone as the newest distributors of the SAJ range in Australia.

“SAJ has demonstrated the product capability, commercial bankability, manufacturing standards and technical approach we look for in a long-term distribution partner,” Supply Partners CEO Patrick Morrissey said.

“We’re excited to welcome SAJ to Tradezone. SAJ brings more than two decades of global experience and an innovative range of residential and commercial energy solutions to our customers. By combining SAJ’s technology with Tradezone’s online platform, distribution network and installer reach, we can provide Australian contractors with even greater choice and support,” said Robert Kingston, Managing Director at Tradezone.

Docusign Named a Leader in the IDC MarketScape for Worldwide Integrated Signing Workflow Software 2026

Published

on

By

SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 15, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Docusign (NASDAQ: DOCU), the leader in Intelligent Agreement Management (IAM), today announced that it has been named a Leader in the IDC MarketScape for Worldwide Integrated Signing Workflow Software Vendor Assessment (Doc #U53014325, August 2026).

The Docusign IAM platform unifies and automates every stage of the agreement lifecycle from intake and contract creation to identity verification, e-signature, and ongoing management of executed agreements. With AI built for agreements, Docusign helps organizations understand what’s in their contracts and act on those insights, helping over 1.9 million businesses worldwide accelerate deals, reduce risk, and maximize productivity.

According to the IDC MarketScape, “The IAM platform represents Docusign’s effort to extend the product beyond transactional signing into agreement lifecycle management, supported by AI-based contract analysis and workflow orchestration.” It also says, “Docusign is a relevant option for organizations that weigh broad market recognition, a large pre-built integration library, and access to a platform spanning eSignature and agreement lifecycle management.”

“Docusign’s new platform evolution, framed as Intelligent Agreement Management, reflects how AI-powered contract management is reshaping enterprise workflows,” said Andrew Gens, research analyst for AI software at IDC. “This MarketScape identified how Docusign’s ecosystem and AI and automation investments are core enablers for their customers to unlock high value data trapped within contracts”

“We believe being named a Leader in this IDC MarketScape is strong validation for our Intelligent Agreement Management vision,” said Allan Thygesen, CEO of Docusign. “Agreements are the foundation of business, yet traditional processes leave valuable data locked inside static files. Our IAM platform empowers organizations to turn agreement friction into business results, delivering tangible ROI and efficiency across teams like legal, sales, procurement, and HR.”

Among Docusign’s key strengths, the IDC MarketScape cited breadth of the agreement lifecycle platform as well as its scale, contract AI, and ecosystem depth:

Scale and ecosystem depth: Docusign’s broad installed base and library of over 1,000 prebuilt integrations affect enterprise procurement in practical terms. Internal stakeholders and counterparties are often already familiar with the platform, and integration into systems such as Salesforce, SAP, Microsoft, Google, and Coupa is well documented and broadly supported by systems integrator partners.Breadth of the agreement life-cycle platform: Docusign has extended its platform to cover pre-execution and post-execution agreement management, AI-assisted contract analysis, and automated workflow orchestration. For organizations that want to consolidate agreement creation, signing, and life-cycle management under one vendor rather than assembling separate tools, this functional breadth can cover most of that scope directly.

A complimentary copy of the IDC MarketScape for Worldwide Integrated Signing Workflow Software 2026 Vendor Assessment excerpt is available here. To learn more about Docusign IAM, visit our website.

This recognition comes alongside other recent honors including Docusign being named one of Newsweek’s Most Trustworthy Software and Telecommunications companies in America for three years in a row and featured in Fast Company’s World’s Most Innovative Companies list of 2026 and Fortune’s Future 50 list of companies with the greatest long-term growth prospects.

Docusign recently announced the general availability of its Model Context Protocol (MCP) Server, extending agreement intelligence to any AI agent through a single, open interface. During the latest earnings call, Docusign disclosed strong customer growth, accelerating to over 1.9 million customers for its second fiscal quarter (ended July 31, 2026).
