CHICAGO, Sept. 30, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — 66degrees, an AI-native consultancy and Google Cloud Diamond Partner, today announced the expanded industry catalog of ParadigmOS, the proprietary agentic operating system allowing clients to map, design, and architect enterprise AI workflows. ParadigmOS accelerates the process of decomposing legacy business workflows and architecting AI-native workflows, compressing the process from months to hours and delivering a build-ready blueprint with projected ROI and efficiency impact.

From the starting point of ParadigmOS, each workflow transformation moves directly into build: equipped with the Paradigm° agentic delivery platform, 66degrees’ forward-deployed engineers and global engineering teams build the agentic workflows and carry them into production. This announcement builds on 66degrees’ role as a launch partner for Gemini Enterprise for Industries, now helping clients build AI-native workflows in every industry the firm serves, strengthening its leadership position in areas that include Healthcare Life Sciences, Financial Services, Retail, and Supply Chain Logistics.

Key Investments Scaling 66degrees’ AI-Native Model Across Industries

Over the course of 2026, 66degrees has continued to make strategic investments to transform into a leading AI-native consultancy that serves clients by accelerating their AI transformation: In this transformation, 66degrees has developed expertise in guiding clients from AI pilot to production, navigating regulations, compliance requirements, and standards of accountability unique to every industry. Getting AI past that reality takes engineered industry context, senior expertise embedded in the business, and command of the full stack it runs on, at the same time, in the same engagement. Three strategic investments work together as one AI-native model for industries:

ParadigmOS Industry Workflows: the starting point of every AI workflow transformation engagement. ParadigmOS’s catalog has scaled to hundreds of AI workflow blueprints , purpose-built for accelerating the AI-native transformation, carrying the architecture, operational playbooks, and projected ROI to move straight to build, covering 16 industries and more than 130 departments and roles.Forward-Deployed Engineering Talent: the specialists who turn blueprints into the client’s own workflows. 66degrees has scaled its forward-deployed engineering model through FDE University, its internal program training engineers in consultative value construction and on Paradigm°, 66degrees’ proprietary agentic platform so what they design alongside client teams is build-ready from the start, enabling a seamless transition from vision to pilot to production.Full-Stack Google Cloud Capabilities: the engineering depth that carries every design into production. 66degrees has grown its global engineering team by 2x over the past 24 months, expanding the certified talent and advanced competencies that span the entire stack enterprise AI runs on, from the AI-ready data foundation through Vertex AI and Gemini to agent systems running in production.

Together 66degrees Delivery engine operates as one system: workflows designed on ParadigmOS, built with Paradigm° by 66degrees’ forward-deployed engineers alongside client teams, and carried into production by its global engineering teams, with 66degrees’ engineers owning the outcome end to end.

“Every C-Suite executive is facing questions from their Board of Directors today about how to drive ROI and efficiency by adopting AI into their processes. 66degrees is purpose built to serve the C-Suite in navigating this transformation. ParadigmOS allows 66degrees teams to quickly decompose legacy business processes and architect the future of an agentic enterprise with our clients across industries. Paired with investments in our forward-deployed and global engineering teams, 66degrees’ AI-native operating model is moving C-Suite clients from the art of the possible to agentic operating systems that deliver ROI visible in the P&L.” said Ben Kessler, Chief Executive Officer of 66degrees.

How ParadigmOS Accelerates Enterprise AI Workflow Transformation

ParadigmOS is the AI-native workflow design and architecture platform behind every 66degrees enterprise AI transformation engagement. It allows organizations across all industries to accelerate the design, planning, and architecture of customized AI workflows, embedding operational governance and industry best practices into the blueprint from the start. Rooted in decades of experience across process design and performance measurement, ParadigmOS links strategic planning and contextual intelligence to actionable, playbook-guided workflow designs tailored to specific vertical solutions, each carrying the projected cost, ROI, and efficiency impact of the change before a build begins. The output is a build-ready blueprint and a priced business case; 66degrees’ forward-deployed engineers and global engineering teams execute the build and deployment with the Paradigm° agentic delivery platform, so businesses align their operational processes with an agentic enterprise architecture on evidence, not estimates.

“In enterprise AI, the primary hurdle has never been model intelligence, it has always been context, which resides in a business’s real-world operations,” explained Joshua Sutton, Chief Innovation Officer at 66degrees. “We engineered ParadigmOS to capture that context by creating an understanding of each client’s enterprise, complete with operational rules, decision-making logic, and production-grade governance. While Google Cloud offers an ideal industry-tailored foundation, ParadigmOS serves as the engine that transforms it into a functional ecosystem of AI workflows and interfaces. By leveraging our AI-native approach, our forward-deployed engineers rapidly map business logic, integrate it with agentic standards, and deliver a scalable, ROI-driven operating model.”

New brand strengthens the connection between two independently accredited institutions while expanding access to Christ-centered online education

GLENDORA, Calif., Oct. 1, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Los Angeles Pacific University (LAPU) is now Azusa Pacific University Global (APU Global), marking a new chapter for the university and strengthening its connection to Azusa Pacific University (APU).

LAPU becomes APU Global, bringing fully online, Christ-centered education under the Azusa Pacific University name.

APU Global is the fully online university within the APU ecosystem, offering 100% online, asynchronous associate’s, bachelor’s, and master’s degree programs designed to meet the needs of working adults and learners wherever they are. APU continues to provide excellent on-campus and hybrid educational experiences.

Together, APU and APU Global provide students with distinct educational pathways under a shared APU brand and a common commitment to Christ-centered, faith-integrated education.

“By aligning under the APU name, we’re creating a recognized, powerful identity for online learners,” said Jay Goin, president of APU Global. “This reduces market confusion and expands our reach to a wider audience, making it easier than ever for students to find the exact education path that fits them best.”

“This move enables us to present a unified brand to the marketplace and amplify our impact,” said Adam J. Morris, president of Azusa Pacific University. “It ensures that whether a student is seeking a premier residential and hybrid experience on our campuses or a specialized world-class online journey, they find their home within the APU ecosystem.”

The transition from LAPU to APU Global strategically leverages the unique strengths of both institutions, expands their reach, and makes it easier for students to find the educational experience that best fits their goals and lives.

Two Institutions, One Shared Mission

While APU and APU Global now share a unified brand presence, they remain two distinct, independently accredited institutions. Each institution maintains its own leadership, academic governance, faculty handbooks, and operating structures.

The partnership is grounded in a shared commitment to providing a Christ-centered, faith-integrated educational experience.

“Our God First mission will guide this partnership, ensuring we continue to deliver a top Christ-centered education to the students we serve,” Morris said.

A Clearer Path for Online Learners

APU Global serves students seeking a fully online education through asynchronous learning designed to provide flexibility for working adults and learners wherever they are located. As the #1 Christian university for alumni earnings in the Council for Christian Colleges & Universities, APU will continue to focus on its on-campus and hybrid educational experiences.

The partnership also creates opportunities for APU and APU Global to leverage online resources to enhance the experience for existing and future learners.

For current LAPU students, the transition to APU Global is seamless, allowing them to continue their day-to-day educational experience without disruption. Students continue taking their online courses, receiving support from dedicated faculty and staff, and progressing toward their degrees as planned. The primary change is the transition of the university’s name and visual identity to APU Global.

About Azusa Pacific University

Since 1899, Azusa Pacific University, a top Christian higher education institution in the nation, has helped students discover their higher calling to impact the world for Christ. Featuring world-class faculty, an APU education leads to lifelong transformation and eternal impact. APU offers 59 bachelor’s degrees, 34 master’s degrees, 35 certificates and credentials, and 7 doctoral programs to more than 7,000 students at the university’s main campus in Azusa, several regional locations across Southern California, and online.

About Azusa Pacific University Global

Azusa Pacific University Global (APU Global), formerly Los Angeles Pacific University (LAPU), is a nonprofit, Christ-centered institution offering flexible, 100% online associate, bachelor’s, and master’s degree programs. Designed to meet the needs of working adults, APU Global delivers asynchronous courses that allow students to learn on their own schedules.
