Recognized as “the most comprehensive content orchestration platform for marketers”

NEW YORK, March 24, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Optimizely, the leading digital experience platform (DXP) provider, today announced it has been named a Leader in The Forrester Wave™: Content Management Systems, Q1 2025. This recognition comes nine months after Optimizely launched the SaaS-version of its CMS with an embedded visual builder. According to the report, “Optimizely lives up to its vision to be the most comprehensive content orchestration platform for marketers through ideation, planning, creation, and digital delivery.”

“To us, being recognized as a Leader in The Forrester Wave™ is a testament to our relentless focus on innovation and customer success,” said Rupali Jain, Optimizely’s Chief Product Officer. “Marketers today need more than just a CMS—they need a comprehensive solution that makes content orchestration effortless, experimentation second nature, and results undeniable. On top of that, developers need the flexibility to build the way they want. That’s why Optimizely is designed to do both. We’re always innovating and finding new ways to make experiences seamless and smarter with AI—all so teams can work more efficiently and drive better outcomes.”

The Forrester report noted that Optimizely “excels in optimization features, visual editing, natural language search, and team collaboration features like content planning outside the CMS, with prebuilt integrations to Teams and Slack.” Additionally, the report shared that “One customer stated that their company’s internal processes slow them down, but that despite their processes, Optimizely’s impact is ‘huge, huge, huge’ on their content operations.”

For over 30 years, Optimizely has led the way in content management because the company has never stopped investing in its CMS. Over the last 6 months, Optimizely has acquired warehouse native-analytics platform Netspring, now Optimizely Analytics, to enhance data and analytics capabilities, and has further integrated with Google Gemini to bring innovation to its customers through Optimizely Opal.

Forrester’s recognition marks a consistent trend of industry acknowledgment for Optimizely. So far this year, the company has been named a Leader in the 2025 Gartner® Magic Quadrant™ for Digital Experience Platforms, a Leader in the 2025 Gartner® Magic Quadrant™ for Personalization Engines, and a Leader in the 2025 Gartner® Magic Quadrant™ for Content Marketing Platforms.

Published

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

Published

on

By

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.
