MADRID, Oct. 30, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Triskell Software, a leading provider of Project Portfolio Management (PPM) and Strategic Portfolio Management (SPM) solutions, announces an expansion of its artificial intelligence capabilities with the release of Triskell 2026 SP2.

Building on previous innovations, Triskell Software integrates enhanced AI capabilities into everyday workflows, enabling organizations to analyze portfolio information, automate routine operations, optimize resource allocation, and interact with project data using natural language.

The update also introduces the Triskell MCP Server, enabling organizations to connect compatible external AI assistants to their Triskell environment.

AI-Powered Project and Portfolio Management
Through the Triskell AI Assistant, users can analyze project data, generate summaries and charts, identify resource constraints, and support portfolio decision-making using natural-language instructions.

The assistant also simplifies everyday operations, including creating project objects, updating timesheets, generating SQL queries, configuring business rules, and translating or summarizing content.

“One of our main objectives with AI is to make portfolio management more intuitive and accessible. We want users to spend less time navigating data and performing repetitive tasks, and more time making decisions that create business value,” explains Angel Garcia, CEO of Triskell Software.

Triskell MCP Server: Connecting PPM with external AI Assistants
One of the most significant innovations is the Triskell MCP Server, built on the Model Context Protocol (MCP), an open standard connecting AI applications with external systems.

It enables compatible AI assistants to retrieve project information, analyze portfolio data, and execute supported actions directly through conversational interfaces, without constantly switching applications.

For example, users can ask an external AI assistant to retrieve project information, review attributes, create project objects, or record timesheet entries.

“The introduction of the Triskell MCP Server is an important step in our AI strategy. By extending Triskell beyond its traditional interface, we are making portfolio information more accessible through the AI tools and workflows organizations increasingly use,” adds Angel Garcia.

AI tailored to business needs
This new release also introduces an AI Knowledge Base, enabling organizations to upload corporate documentation and obtain contextualized responses using Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) technology.

Additionally, Custom AI Skills allow administrators to configure specific AI instructions for different business contexts, adapting how the assistant interprets project and portfolio information.

To strengthen data governance, the new Data Security module allows administrators to exclude sensitive attributes from information shared with external AI providers.

Organizations can also choose between Triskell’s built-in OpenAI provider and other supported providers, including Anthropic, Google Gemini, and Mistral.

These enhancements reinforce Triskell Software’s commitment to making portfolio management more intelligent, connected, and efficient while helping organizations improve decision-making and align strategic objectives with execution.

About Triskell Software
Triskell is an enterprise solution focusing on Strategy Execution Management with advanced Project Portfolio Management features, helping to fill the gap between planning and proper execution. Triskell allows companies to plan, prioritize, manage and monitor their organization’s initiatives from one centralized platform.

NEUSS, Germany, Oct. 30, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Pudu Robotics, a global leader in commercial robotics, today announced the opening of its European headquarters in Neuss, Germany, strengthening its local operating capabilities as its business continues to expand across the region.

The new headquarters brings together sales, product demonstrations, training, warehousing and after-sales services, reinforcing Pudu Robotics’ investment in the local infrastructure and customer support needed to scale robotic deployments across European markets.

Strong Growth and Scaled Deployments Across Europe

Pudu Robotics’ business spans more than 20 countries across Europe, reflecting its expanding presence throughout the region. Over the past two years, markets including Germany, Austria, Switzerland, France, the Netherlands, Norway, the United Kingdom, Spain, Italy, the Czech Republic and Poland have each recorded annual business growth of more than 60%.

The company serves customers across 16 industries, including retail, food and beverage, hospitality, healthcare, transportation, education, and more. Its European customers include leading retailers and hospitality groups such as EDEKA, Albert Heijn, Carrefour, Marriott, Van der Valk, Pizza Hut, Intermarché and Denner, as well as major transportation hubs such as Paris Charles de Gaulle Airport.

A notable example is Denner, a leading Swiss supermarket chain, which has deployed more than 200 PUDU CC1 Series cleaning robots across its store network. The deployment illustrates how autonomous cleaning can scale in demanding retail environments, where reliability, store-specific workflows and consistent service support are essential.

Supporting deployments of this scale requires more than supplying robotic equipment. Pudu works with customers to adapt deployment plans to store layouts and operating patterns, while providing technical assistance and ongoing operational support. This combination helps customers integrate robotic cleaning into daily operations and expand its use across their businesses.

Building Local Capabilities to Support Customers

Pudu Robotics’ European growth is supported by an operating model built around local teams, regional partners and service infrastructure. The company continues to invest in local capabilities to strengthen collaboration with customers and partners and provide support throughout the deployment lifecycle.

Across Europe, Pudu has nearly 50 sales professionals supporting channel partners and customer projects, alongside nearly 40 technical support personnel serving different markets and deployments. Its local infrastructure includes a service center in Germany and warehousing facilities in the Netherlands and Germany for whole-robot inventory and spare parts, helping support delivery coordination and service responsiveness.

The company also works closely with local distributors, system integrators and service providers to support market development, deployment and ongoing maintenance. Within its European subsidiaries, Pudu has established local organizational structures and operational objectives, with continued investment in sales and service teams, warehousing and local service networks.

By combining local market knowledge and service capabilities with its global technical resources, Pudu aims to help customers deploy robotic solutions more effectively across diverse operating environments. Multilingual support in English, German, French, Spanish, Italian and other languages further facilitates collaboration across the region.

A Regional Hub for the Next Phase of Growth

Located in Neuss, Germany, the new European headquarters brings together office operations, a product showroom, warehousing, training, sales, after-sales service and repair capabilities, all of which are now operational. The facility supports product demonstrations, customer engagement, distributor training and local service delivery, while providing a hub for coordinating regional business activities.

The headquarters complements Pudu Robotics’ existing European offices, partner network and warehousing infrastructure in the Netherlands and Germany. Together, these resources strengthen coordination across sales, deployment and after-sales support, providing a foundation for continued growth across the region.

Looking ahead, Pudu Robotics will continue to develop its local operating capabilities, deepen collaboration with regional partners and expand the application of its robotic solutions across industries, supporting customers as robotics becomes increasingly integrated into everyday operations.

“Europe is an important growth market for Pudu Robotics. As adoption expands, customers need more than reliable robotic solutions—they need local teams and service capabilities that can support deployment and ongoing operations over the long term. Our European headquarters in Neuss strengthens our ability to work closely with partners and customers across the region and support the next phase of our growth,” said Bella Sun, Vice President and General Manager for Europe at Pudu Robotics.

Cognizant’s new OpenAI Frontier Capability Group brings more than 25,000 professionals together in a global OpenAI delivery organizationCognizant is scaling OpenAI across its own sales and customer success operations first, so clients can benefit from approaches tested at enterprise level

TEANECK, N.J., Oct. 30, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Cognizant (Nasdaq: CTSH) today announced the formation of its OpenAI Frontier Capability Group, bringing together more than 25,000 professionals aligned to delivering OpenAI products, including Codex and ChatGPT, for clients. The group is designed to help enterprises apply OpenAI models to how they write software, serve customers and run day-to-day operations.

Access to frontier models is no longer what holds many enterprises back; what they lack is skilled professionals who know how to build with those models inside the systems their business depends on. Cognizant has been building that capability across the company, where more than 21,000 associates have earned 40,000+ OpenAI badges, each awarded for completion of learning tracks on OpenAI technologies. The new group adds an organization focused on building and supporting the operation of OpenAI-powered systems for clients.

That work is expected to draw on Cognizant’s Frontier workforce model, through which it is developing Frontier Certified Engineers and Frontier Business Operators credentialed directly by frontier-model companies.

Cognizant often tests new approaches in its own business before taking them to clients. Its sales and customer success teams already use a solution built on OpenAI models to find and pursue new opportunities. For clients, that means the group’s work can start from methods tested at scale inside a global enterprise.

“Over the last 50 years, every shift in enterprise technology has changed who builds the systems and how,” said Ravi Kumar S, CEO of Cognizant. “With Codex and ChatGPT, OpenAI is changing both at once. We are committing more than 25,000 of our people to bring that change inside our clients’ businesses. We started with our own, and OpenAI is beginning to reshape how we sell.”

“OpenAI is helping businesses fundamentally rethink how they operate, from the way they serve customers to how they get work done,” said Dali Rajic, Chief Revenue Officer at OpenAI. “By bringing together more than 25,000 professionals in a dedicated OpenAI practice and putting our technology to work across its own operations, Cognizant is helping more enterprises turn AI into meaningful business impact.”

Initial focus areas

The group will initially focus on three areas: AI-native software engineering with Codex, application modernization and agentic customer operations. Codex anchors the first and is designed to support engineers as they write, test and ship new code. In application modernization, the group will use Cognizant Application Modernizer, powered by OpenAI models, across the full lifecycle, from reverse engineering legacy mainframe code to generating cloud-native code. Engineers review every consequential decision, backed by Cognizant’s experience modernizing mainframe systems for more than 500 clients. In customer operations, the group will apply OpenAI models to sales, service and support, drawing on Cognizant’s experience using them in its own business.

Cognizant is already delivering for clients: at a global biopharmaceutical company, Cognizant co-engineered an OpenAI-powered enterprise assistant that brings search, content creation, translation and approvals into one place. It has handled more than 5 million conversations and cut content creation time by 60%.

Cognizant is one of a select group of Advanced partners in the OpenAI Partner Network. Its Codex hackathons in India and the Americas brought together more than 12,000 participants.
