Business Wire India

Diligent, the AI leader in governance, risk and compliance (GRC) SaaS solutions, today unveiled a new generation of autonomous AI agents, including AI Board Member — a secure AI assistant for directors — and a coordinated network of agents embedded across the Diligent One Platform. Accessible through a single command center, agents automate multi-step workflows across governance, risk, compliance and third-party management, giving organizations the impact of a “GRC manager” without adding headcount.

 

“AI supercharges teams that embrace it, and boards are no exception,” said Brian Stafford, President and CEO of Diligent. “With AI Board Member and a network of autonomous agents woven through the Diligent One Platform, we’re giving the C-suite and GRC leaders a secure, governed digital workforce that senses risk faster than traditional governance can keep up, keeps every step auditable, and lets them focus on the judgement only they can provide.”

 

 

Diligent’s autonomous agent network allows practitioners and leaders to direct persona-specific agents that autonomously plan, execute and audit end-to-end workflows across governance, risk, compliance and audit, with human judgement approving every decision. Underneath, a connected data and collaboration model keeps everything in sync — from the risk register and entity records to enterprise resource planning and human resources systems — so updates flow through to the board without manual rework.

 

 

AI Board Member: A digital colleague in the boardroom

 

 

Stemming from Diligent’s 30+ years of governance experience and a global customer base of 25,000 + organizations, AI Board Member acts as a secure AI assistant for directors, instantly recalling board materials, industry news, public research and other trusted sources, as well as providing on-demand specialist perspectives.

 

 

• Strengthens oversight and skills for the board by giving directors organization-specific guidance on AI, cyber, risk, audit, and more — grounded in their own materials, industry trends, and peer benchmarks, all within enterprise-grade security and sharing controls.
• Moves boards from reactive to ready with instant recall of relevant board information and deep market context that helps directors explore scenarios and implications before they ever step into the room.
• Acts as a boardroom assistant by joining board, committee and leadership meetings to take minutes, assign action items and proactively follow up on actions to ensure preparation happens ahead of the next meeting.

 

Subsidiary Governance Agent: Manage subsidiary board packs and officer appointments at scale

 

The Subsidiary Governance Agent helps legal and governance teams manage complex entity structures at scale by automating the mechanics of subsidiary board operations and officer appointments.

 

 

• Automates subsidiary governance at scale by preparing board packs, minutes, approvals and filings across dozens or hundreds of entities and jurisdictions, ensuring consistent, auditable governance.
• Orchestrates director and officer appointment changes into a review step, not a data entry task, triggering notifications, identifying required filings and keeping board and committee compositions current and compliant.
• Continuously monitors and identifies compliance gaps by surfacing missing sections, outdated content and jurisdiction-specific requirements, then proposing appropriate changes in bulk as regulations, events or cross-entity changes occur.

 

Enterprise Risk Governance Agent: From rearview mirror to early warning system

 

The Enterprise Risk Governance Agent shifts organizations from reactive reporting to proactive risk management by automating how enterprise risks are identified, assessed and reported.

 

 

• Transforms raw risk signals into board-ready insights and SEC-aligned disclosures, highlighting key trends and changes over time. Enriched with Moody’s risk benchmarking data, it embeds peer and market context – creating a seamless path from risk identification to defensible, disclosure-ready reporting.
• Automates the enterprise risk workflow by converting board materials and emerging signals into structured risk items within a centralized risk register, intelligently recommending owners and gathering input through automated assessments, all while keeping risk teams in control without administrative burden.
• Reduces risk and disclosure cycles by replacing manual coordination and review with streamlined, auditable workflows – ensuring executives, boards and counsel can trust that every disclosure is accurate, on time and ready for filing.

 

With autonomous agents, organizations stay firmly in charge of decisions. Every agent’s action and recommendation is logged and traceable, with approvals creating an auditable record aligned to established governance standards. Leaders set clear boundaries for agent activity, review outputs in plain language, and determine what to accept, modify or reject.

 

Diligent’s agentic AI capabilities were showcased at Elevate 2026, its premier annual conference for governance, risk, compliance and audit professionals, with general availability expected in the fall.

 

 

Customers can request early access to AI Board Member here, and autonomous agents here, giving them the opportunity to pilot these capabilities on real-world use cases and help shape the next phase of intelligent, AI-driven GRC.

NielsenIQ (NYSE: NIQ), a leading consumer intelligence company, and INTAGE HOLDINGS Inc. (hereafter “INTAGE HD”), a leading market research company in Japan, today announced a mutual sales partnership to expand access to retail measurement insights between Japan and global markets.

 

Through the collaboration, NIQ and INTAGE HD bring together complementary strengths— INTAGE HD’s deep local retail store panel data and insights into the Japanese domestic market, and NIQ’s global and regional retail store panel data and insights into various international markets—to enable better comparison and understanding of market performance and trends across countries and regions.

 

 

This collaboration enhances both companies’ ability to support clients with more consistent and comparable insights, helping clients unlock growth opportunities across markets.

 

 

The collaboration enables global clients to access INTAGE HD’s nationwide retail store panel data in Japan (SRI+ and SRI+EC) to support market entry and expansion. NIQ’s network will enable smoother access to data and insights on the Japanese market. At the same time, clients in Japan will gain access to NIQ’s global Retail Measurement Services (RMS), covering more than 100 countries and regions, supporting international growth.

 

 

“Clients today are increasingly looking for a more complete and connected understanding of consumer buying behavior across markets,” said Chang Park, Managing Director of NIQ’s Northeast Asia Cluster. “Our collaboration with INTAGE HD strengthens our ability to deliver The Full View™—bringing together local depth and global scale to help clients unlock new opportunities and drive growth.”

 

 

This collaboration addresses a key challenge for clients: limited comparability between Japan and other markets by connecting local and global data more seamlessly.

 

 

Whether expanding into Japan or growing in international markets, clients will benefit from a more unified view of performance.

 

 

“Japan is a highly complex and unique market, and a deep understanding of the local market and a global perspective are both essential to realizing business growth,” said Yoshiya Nishi, CEO of INTAGE HOLDINGS Inc. “Through this collaboration, we will combine the strengths of both companies to provide more consistent and actionable insights in the Japanese and global markets, strongly supporting our clients’ decision-making and growth.”

 

 

This collaboration reflects a shared commitment by NIQ and INTAGE HD to help clients navigate increasingly interconnected markets with greater clarity and confidence.

Inventurus Knowledge Solutions, Inc. (“IKS”), the U.S. subsidiary of Inventurus Knowledge Solutions Limited (NSE: IKS) (“IKS Health”), a global leader in care enablement solutions, today announced it has entered into a definitive agreement to acquire TruBridge, Inc. (NASDAQ: TBRG) (“TruBridge”), a prominent provider of healthcare technology solutions for rural and community hospitals. This proposed strategic acquisition underscores a commitment to broaden access to high-quality care and support the clinicians and hospitals that serve communities across the United States.

Today, nearly one in five Americans face challenges accessing care. By bringing together IKS Health’s comprehensive care enablement capabilities that serve a range of healthcare organizations with TruBridge’s deep expertise in supporting rural and community hospitals through revenue cycle management and electronic health record (EHR) solutions, the combined healthcare technology company is expected to strengthen local healthcare systems, and enable patients to receive essential care closer to home while also enhancing care delivery across the ambulatory and acute care continuum.

Post closing, the combined company will deliver continuous improvement and connected workflows to the core of rural healthcare and to medical groups overall, combining agentic artificial intelligence (AI) with human-in-the-loop expertise to proactively address complex operational challenges. As the platform incorporates a broader range of clinical and financial data, it is designed to become increasingly intelligent and efficient. This growing intelligence, reinforced by human insight, is anticipated to ensure community hospitals and medical groups have the financial resilience and advanced support needed to focus on the health of their patients.

“By welcoming TruBridge, IKS Health is extending its proven, clinician-first experience to the vital rural and community hospital market,” said Sachin K. Gupta, Founder and Global CEO of IKS Health. “This new entity supports our long-term vision of building a comprehensive care ecosystem for all types of healthcare organizations. By pairing TruBridge’s essential system of record with our AI-driven system of action, we are moving beyond simply recording data to actively solving the complex operational challenges facing providers today. The combined entity will work toward ensuring community care teams have the same access to advanced technology and financial resilience, enabling them to deliver exceptional care close to home.”

Together, the organization will bring modern revenue cycle management, predictive analytics, and advanced EHR capabilities to support more than 2,000 healthcare organizations and over 150,000 clinicians with a broad portfolio of AI-driven and human-led solutions designed to improve clinical, operational, and financial excellence.

“I am excited for TruBridge and IKS Health to combine forces and expand the focus on strengthening rural and community healthcare,” said Chris Fowler, President and CEO of TruBridge. “IKS Health shares our passion to improve provider experiences and financial results, ultimately leading to healthier lives and positive patient outcomes. It’s rewarding to know that our employees will have more ways and opportunities to deliver exceptional value to our customers and their patients.”

“Under the terms of the agreement, TruBridge shareholders will receive $26.25 in cash for each share of common stock. The acquisition has been approved by the Boards of Directors of IKS Health, IKS, and TruBridge, and is expected to close during the third calendar quarter of 2026, subject to the satisfaction of customary closing conditions, including the requisite shareholder approvals and the Hart-Scott-Rodino (HSR) notification and waiting period. In connection with the transaction, TruBridge has entered into voting and support agreements with TruBridge’s largest shareholders, Pinetree Capital Ltd., L6 Holdings Inc. and Ocho Investments, LLC, who have agreed—subject to the terms of the agreements—to, among other things, vote the shares they control, representing in total approximately 27% of TruBridge’s outstanding shares of common stock, in favor of the transaction.”

IKS will finance the acquisition primarily through the incurrence of new indebtedness, including a term loan underwritten by Citibank, JPMorganChase, and Deutsche Bank, which is subject to satisfaction of customary conditions (including approval of the shareholders of IKS Health).
