LTM Positioned as a Leader in ISG’s Provider Lens™ Evaluation for Oracle Cloud and Technology Ecosystem 2025

Business Wire India

LTM, the Business Creativity partner to the world’s largest enterprises, has been recognized as a Leader in multiple quadrants in the ISG Provider Lens™ Oracle Cloud and Technology Ecosystem 2025 reports for both the United States and Europe by Information Services Group (ISG), a leading global technology research and advisory firm.

 

The ISG Provider Lens™ study evaluates leading Oracle ecosystem service providers across critical capability areas, including:

 

  • Professional Services

  • Managed Services

  • OCI Solutions and Capabilities

 

LTM’s positioning as a Leader across key quadrants in both regions reflects its strong Oracle ecosystem expertise, AI-led transformation approach, and proven track record in delivering large-scale enterprise cloud modernization programs.

 

In its 2025 study, ISG highlights that the Oracle ecosystem is undergoing a fundamental shift toward AI-native architectures, multicloud-by-design strategies, and asset-based delivery models, with sovereignty and regulatory compliance emerging as key enterprise priorities, particularly in Europe. LTM’s investments in AI-powered accelerators, OCI modernization capabilities, and scalable managed services delivery contributed significantly to its leadership positioning.

 

Why LTM Stands Out:

 

  • Comprehensive Oracle Cloud Expertise: LTM delivers advisory led, end-to-end consulting, implementation, integration, and managed services across Oracle Fusion Applications, OCI, and Oracle technology platforms, helping enterprises modernize core business processes at scale and drive measurable business outcomes.

  • AI Driven Automation and Proprietary Accelerators: LTM differentiates through AI powered accelerators and automation frameworks, including Enclose, Infinity, Canvas, and Novigo, part of its BlueVerse AI ecosystem, enabling faster cloud adoption, streamlined migrations, and improved operational efficiency.

  • OCI and Multicloud Innovation: Through solutions such as Cloud Boost, powered by the Infinity Platform, LTM simplifies OCI migration and modernization while supporting multicloud and hybrid architectures, including Oracle Database@Azure, for seamless operations across complex environments.

  • Sovereign and Regulated Industry Readiness (Europe): In response to regulations such as NIS2 and DORA, LTM delivers secure, compliant, and sovereign ready architectures aligned with Oracle EU Sovereign Cloud, enabling regulated industries to modernize with confidence.

  • Strong Oracle Ecosystem Credentials: With 20+ years in the Oracle ecosystem, a large pool of Oracle certified professionals, and multiple Oracle Expertise credentials, LTM delivers trusted, largescale transformation programs for global enterprises.

  • Trusted strategic partnership with Oracle: With over two decades of collaboration, LTM maintains strong alignment with Oracle’s innovation roadmap, helping clients adopt next-generation solutions and accelerate enterprise transformation.

 

LTM integrates an AI-first accelerator stack across strategy, build, and change to make Oracle programs predictable and data-driven. Its end-to-end delivery model reduces risk, shortens delivery cycles, and accelerates transformation across complex Oracle initiatives. This approach addresses Europe’s multimodule, localization, and governance requirements with greater consistency and control. While continued U.S. investments in delivery centers and a strong local field force further strengthen LTM’s leadership in Oracle Cloud Infrastructure services,” said Heiko Henkes, Managing Director & Principal Analyst and sponsor of the ISG Provider Lens® Oracle Cloud and Technology Ecosystem, ISG.

 

“We are proud to be recognized by ISG as a Leader in the Oracle Cloud and Technology Ecosystem across both the US and Europe. Our focus on AI-led innovation, multicloud integration, and industry-specific transformation enables our clients to unlock measurable business value while building future-ready digital enterprises,” said Krishnan Iyer, Chief Growth Officer, LTM.

 

As enterprises increasingly shift toward AI-enabled, multicloud, and sovereignty-driven architectures, LTM continues to strengthen its Oracle capabilities to help clients modernize faster, optimize operations, and build resilient digital enterprises.

Business Wire India

Bureau Veritas, a global leader in Testing, Inspection, and Certification services (TIC), is pleased to announce the expansion of its geographical scope as an Approved Verifier under the Climate Bonds Standard and Certification Scheme. Additional offices in China, Japan, India, and France are now formally listed in the Climate Bonds Verifiers Directory.

Our expanded presence as an Approved Verifier under the Climate Bonds Standard reinforces Bureau Veritas’ commitment to advancing credible, high‑integrity sustainable finance”, said Marc Roussel, Executive Vice President, Urbanization and Assurance at Bureau Veritas. “With verifier capabilities available across key markets, we continue to deliver local expertise with global assurance standards; boosting market confidence and directing capital to climate-aligned projects.

 

 

Robust frameworks such as the Climate Bonds Standard play a crucial role in advancing the global sustainability transition and enabling large‑scale decarbonisation. With broader geographic coverage across Asia and Europe, Bureau Veritas is now better positioned to facilitate green and sustainable debt issuance, helping issuers demonstrate alignment with science-based criteria and strengthening investor confidence in labelled debt instruments.

 

 

The addition of the local Bureau Veritas’ offices in China, Japan, India and France in the Climate Bonds Verifiers Directory reflects the continued strengthening of verification capacity across key markets with regional expertise and support, said Marina Strovolidou, Head of Certification, Climate Bonds Initiative.

The Climate Bonds Verifiers Directory provides issuers and investors with a transparent, up-to-date list of organisations authorised to conduct verification under the Climate Bonds Standard, supporting the integrity and credibility of the global sustainable finance market.

 

 

This expansion reinforces the shared commitment of the Climate Bonds Initiative and Bureau Veritas to advance best practices in sustainable finance and accelerate capital flows toward climate-aligned projects. Leveraging its expertise in supporting sustainability transitions, Bureau Veritas integrates compliance, risk management, and transformation strategies to help organisations embed sustainability into their operations.

Embee Software Expands Cybersecurity Portfolio with Advanced Microsoft Security Stack and Zero Trust Frameworks

Business Wire India

Embee Software, a leading digital transformation and managed services provider, today announced the expansion of its cybersecurity portfolio with advanced capabilities across the Microsoft security ecosystem and Zero Trust frameworks. This move is aimed at helping Indian enterprises strengthen cyber resilience while navigating evolving regulatory requirements, including the Digital Personal Data Protection (DPDP) framework.

As organisations accelerate adoption of cloud, AI, and digital workplace technologies, security has become a critical foundation for sustainable growth. Embee’s expanded cybersecurity capabilities are designed to protect modern enterprise environments while enabling innovation at scale.

A Unified Approach to Security in a Digital-First Enterprise

Today’s enterprises operate across hybrid cloud environments, distributed workforces, and data-intensive applications. This has significantly increased the attack surface, making fragmented security approaches ineffective.

Embee’s enhanced portfolio is designed to address these challenges by bringing together identity-first security and Zero Trust frameworks, enabling organisations to enforce strict access controls and verify every request regardless of origin. It also incorporates advanced threat detection and response capabilities powered by Microsoft Defender and Microsoft Sentinel, helping organisations identify, investigate, and respond to threats more efficiently.

In addition, the portfolio strengthens data protection and regulatory compliance through Microsoft Purview, ensuring sensitive information is properly governed and secured. These capabilities are further supported by Embee’s Cyber Defence Center (CDC), which provides 24×7 monitoring, incident response, and proactive threat hunting.

This integrated approach allows organisations to shift from reactive security to proactive, intelligence-led defence.

Security as the Foundation for Cloud and AI Adoption

With enterprises increasingly investing in the Azure cloud, AI platforms, and Microsoft Copilot, the need for secure and governed environments has become essential.

Embee’s cybersecurity expansion aligns with its cloud transformation and managed Azure services, delivering secure, optimised environments. It integrates data and AI solutions, such as Microsoft Fabric and analytics platforms with governance. Modern workplace offerings like Microsoft 365 and Copilot enable secure collaboration. Business applications, including SAP and HRMS, incorporate embedded security and access controls. This supports resilient, compliant enterprise operations.

By embedding security across every layer of the digital stack, Embee enables organisations to innovate confidently without compromising risk or compliance.

Enabling Zero Trust for Modern Enterprises

At the core of this expansion is Embee’s focus on implementing Zero Trust architecture across enterprise environments.

It enables continuous verification of users, devices, and access requests, with granular access controls across cloud and on-premises systems, real-time visibility into threats and vulnerabilities, and automated response mechanisms to minimise risk effectively overall.

This approach ensures that security is not a checkpoint but a continuous and adaptive process.

Supporting DPDP Compliance and Data Governance

With the DPDP framework reshaping India’s data protection landscape, organisations are under increasing pressure to ensure compliance.

It enables discovery, identification, and classification of sensitive data, enforces access controls and audit trails, monitors data movement across environments, and aligns with regulatory expectations around privacy and protection, effectively and consistently across enterprise operations.

Leadership Perspective

Speaking on the announcement, Sudhir Kothari, CEO & MD, Embee Software, said:

“Enterprises today are not just adopting cloud and AI; they are building entirely new digital operating models. In this environment, security cannot be an afterthought. Our focus is to help organisations integrate security seamlessly across cloud, data, and workplace ecosystems so they can innovate with confidence while staying compliant and resilient.”

Cyber Defense Center at the Core

Embee’s 24×7 Cyber Defence Center remains central to its cybersecurity strategy, delivering continuous monitoring and incident response; faster threat detection and response; proactive threat hunting and red/blue teaming capabilities; reduced operational risk and downtime; and enhanced visibility into the overall enterprise security posture, supporting resilience and continuous improvement effectively.

Driving End-to-End Digital Transformation

With this expansion, Embee reinforces its position as a comprehensive digital transformation partner, combining expertise across cybersecurity, cloud, AI, modern workplace, and enterprise applications.

This integrated approach ensures that organisations can move forward with digital initiatives that are not only innovative but also secure, compliant, and scalable.

Invivoscribe® Expands IVDR Portfolio with IdentiClone® Dx IGH Assay Certification

Business Wire India

Invivoscribe, a global leader in precision diagnostics and measurable residual disease (MRD) testing, is proud to announce that its IdentiClone Dx IGH Assay has received In Vitro Diagnostic Regulation (IVDR) 2017/746 Class C certification in the European Union (EU). Commercial availability of the IVDR-certified assay is anticipated by early April 2026.

 

The IVDR replaces the former In Vitro Diagnostics Directive (IVDD), introducing significantly more stringent requirements for clinical evidence, performance evaluation, traceability, and post-market surveillance. Under IVDR, in vitro diagnostic devices are classified according to risk from Class A (lowest risk) to Class D (highest risk). Class C devices, such as IdentiClone Dx IGH, are considered high-risk tests that play a critical role in disease diagnosis and patient management.

 

 

BSI (Netherlands), an EU-designated Notified Body, granted CE certification for the IdentiClone Dx IGH Assay following an independent conformity assessment under the IVDR. This approval marks Invivoscribe’s second successful IVDR certification, underscoring the company’s proven regulatory expertise and long-standing commitment to quality, compliance, and patient safety.

 

 

“Achieving IVDR certification for the IdentiClone Dx IGH Assay is a significant milestone for Invivoscribe and reflects decades of regulatory rigor, scientific excellence, and dedication to international standards,” said Jason Gerhold, Vice President of Global Regulatory, Quality, and Clinical Affairs at Invivoscribe. “This certification demonstrates our ability to meet the most stringent regulatory requirements and positions us to continue supporting laboratories and clinicians across the EU with high-quality, compliant diagnostic solutions.”

 

 

The IdentiClone Dx IGH Assay is a PCR-based in vitro diagnostic device designed for the capillary electrophoresis-based detection of clonality in immunoglobulin heavy chain (IGH) gene rearrangements from peripheral blood specimens. The assay now includes integrated analysis software that automates data processing and interpretation, providing standardized, objective results with transparent reporting and full traceability. It serves as an adjunctive tool in the evaluation of patients suspected of having B-cell lymphoproliferative disorders, in which abnormal proliferation of a single B-cell clone produces a population of cells with identical (clonal) IGH gene rearrangements, a defining molecular hallmark of B-cell malignancies.

Visa to Bring Privacy-Preserving Payments to Canton Network

Business Wire India

Visa (NYSE:V), a global leader in digital payments, today announced it will join the Canton Network as the first major global payments company to serve as a Super Validator, to help extend privacy‑preserving blockchain infrastructure to banks and financial institutions around the world. Visa will be one of 40 Super Validators on Canton.

 

That move goes straight to a core challenge for financial institutions: the same transparency that gives blockchains their appeal can clash with privacy expectations financial institutions operate under. Canton Network, a blockchain built for regulated finance, has privacy built in from the beginning, so organizations can use shared infrastructure without exposing sensitive information.

 

 

As a Super Validator, Visa will help clients who choose to run and secure operations on the Canton Network, applying the same trusted and reliable standards it uses to operate critical payment systems today. Institutions can experiment with and scale stablecoin payments, settlement and treasury use cases without changing how they already manage risk, compliance and operations.

 

 

“Many banks see the lack of privacy as a dealbreaker for moving meaningful activity onchain,” said Rubail Birwadker, Global Head of Growth Products and Strategic Partnerships, Visa. “By operating as a Super Validator on Canton Network, we’re bringing Visa-grade trust, governance and operational rigor that define Visa’s global network to privacy‑preserving blockchain infrastructure, so regulated FIs can bring payments onchain without having to rethink how they operate.”

 

 

Today, Canton has gained wide adoption across capital markets, powering the issuance and trading of tokenized financial assets. With Visa joining, Canton will now connect capital markets with payments and bring onchain payments directly into the Canton ecosystem.

 

 

About the Canton Network

 

 

Many financial institutions have avoided public blockchains because anyone can see transaction details, raising concerns about transparency, data leaks, and compliance.

 

 

Canton’s configurable privacy model is designed for real-world use cases – banks can’t run payroll if salaries are public and trading firms can’t reveal every position and trade without hurting price discovery. Canton combines strong privacy with the ability to connect different applications and assets on the same network. Institutions can adopt blockchain without compromising confidentiality or control.

 

 

“Canton was built to meet the requirements of regulated finance from day one,” said Eric Saraniecki, Head of Network Strategy for Digital Asset, co-creator of Canton. “Visa’s participation as a Super Validator reinforces that this technology has matured beyond experimentation and into production‑ready infrastructure. Bringing payments onchain, alongside assets, unlocks the next phase of financial markets, where transactions can move with the speed of blockchain while remaining private, secure, and compliant.”

 

 

Visa’s Broader Stablecoin Strategy

 

 

Visa’s participation builds on its existing digital asset and stablecoin work, including:

 

 

  • stablecoin settlement, which has reached an annualized run rate of $4.6 billion globally
  • stablecoin‑linked cards, with more than 130 programs across more than 50 countries
  • a specialized Stablecoins Advisory Practice by Visa Consulting & Analytics (VCA), advising clients ranging from financial institutions to fintechs on stablecoin strategy and onchain capabilities. VCA can help clients assess how participation in Canton Network and other initiatives align with their objectives.

 

With Visa now spanning both the payments and governance layer on Canton, financial institutions can explore this network through a partner they already know and trust, without having to overhaul existing operations.

 

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

 

 

Q: What is the Canton Network?
Canton is a public, permissionless blockchain network designed to meet the stringent requirements of regulated financial institutions, enabling privacy‑preserving transactions on shared infrastructure with institutional‑grade governance.

 

 

Q: Why is a privacy-preserving blockchain necessary?
Many financial institutions have been cautious about public blockchains due to privacy, compliance, and governance concerns. Banks can’t run payroll if salaries are public, and trading firms can’t transact if positions, collateral, or margin movements are visible. As a privacy-enabled but public blockchain network, Canton allows assets like these to move freely without exposing confidential data.

 

 

Q: What is a super validator and why is that important?
On blockchains, validators help verify transactions and maintain network integrity. On Canton Network, a Super Validator is a selective role reserved for highly trusted institutions that help steward core network infrastructure and contribute value to the Canton ecosystem through increased network activity.

 

 

Q: What is Visa’s role as a Super Validator?
As a Super Validator, with voting powers to shape the future of Canton’s network decisions, Visa will help decide critical payment infrastructure, enabling banks and financial institutions to adopt blockchain at scale.

 

 

Q: Why now?
Visa’s participation helps banks use blockchain without exposing sensitive financial data. That will help transform blockchain technology to real‑world, institutional use.

 

 

Q: Who benefits?
Banks, large enterprises, and regulated financial institutions exploring blockchain‑based payment, settlement, and treasury use cases that require privacy, security, and compliance.

 

 

Q: What’s next?
Visa will work with institutions to bring Canton into production where it complements existing payment, settlement, and treasury strategies, drawing on Visa’s experience operating across applications, infrastructure, and multiple blockchain networks. Visa remains chain‑agnostic across networks aligned with its payments‑first, institutional approach. Organizations interested in understanding and assessing potential areas of relevance with their crypto and stablecoins strategies can reach out to an advisor within the VCA Stablecoins Advisory Practice by emailing VCA@visa.com.

Dominican Republic Drives Modernization of Electronic Passports Under the Leadership of the Thales – MIDAS Consortium

Business Wire India

 

  • The General Directorate of Passports, together with the Presidency of the Dominican Republic, are leading the transformation of the country’s passport issuance system with a new, secure, efficient document aligned with international standards.
  • In 2025, the Thales-MIDAS consortium was awarded the contract to develop, issue, and personalize a modern, secure, and highly reliable travel document for Dominican citizens, incorporating additional cybersecurity measures.

 

The Presidency of the Dominican Republic, through the General Directorate of Passports, issued the country’s first electronic passport as part of its strategy to modernize and strengthen national security.

 

This press release features multimedia. View the full release here: https://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20260324368065/en/

 

 

Passport of the Dominican Republic

Passport of the Dominican Republic

 

 

The new document was developed in partnership with Thales, world leader in advanced technologies for the Defense, Aerospace, Cybersecurity, and Digital sectors, and Midas Dominicana, a Dominican business group specializing in the comprehensive management of technology projects in the region. Together, both companies will guarantee the delivery of a passport that is more secure, reliable, and compliant with international standards.

 

The project introduces and personalizes the country’s electronic passports, using advanced technologies to ensure the authenticity and protection of each document, while strengthening the national identity system and improving the security and efficiency of travel. This relies on a combination of physical and digital security features, including a polycarbonate data page with an embedded electronic chip. Acting as a digital safe, the chip securely stores the holder’s personal and biometric information, such as fingerprints and a photo, and can be electronically verified at every step of the passenger journey.

 

 

By combining advanced security features, this new generation of documents first and foremost protects each individual’s identity. For citizens, it means greater peace of mind, faster and more accurate biometric checks, and a smoother experience when traveling.

 

 

Alongside the document itself, Thales will bring extra cybersecurity services ensuring that citizens’ data is protected. Indeed, Thales’ advanced ‘detect & respond’ solution will continuously monitor potential cyber threats across the data centres involved in the project, providing an additional layer of resilience and trust.

 

 

In today’s digital world, identity is much more than a credential; it is the key to accessing essential services securely and efficiently. We are proud to support the Dominican Republic in this step toward digital modernization, offering trusted identity solutions that combine cutting-edge biometric technology with the highest security standards. With this implementation, we are helping to build a strong, sustainable, and globally interoperable identity ecosystem that promotes public trust, drives inclusion, and optimizes services for all Dominican citizens,” said Nathalie Gosset, Vice President Identity and Biometrics at Thales.

 

 

“We are honored to contribute our local expertise to this flagship project, which provides Dominican citizens with one of the most advanced and secure travel documents in the world. Working alongside Thales, we are ensuring that the new e-passport combines cutting-edge technology with robust personal data protection. This collaboration reflects our commitment to innovative and reliable digital solutions for the Dominican Republic,”said Luis Marrero, Vice President of Operations at Midas Dominicana.

L&T Technology Services Pivots on Engineering Intelligence, Divests SWC Business

Business Wire India

L&T Technology Services Limited (BSE: 540115, NSE: LTTS), a global leader in AI, Digital and ER&D services, today announced that it is doubling down its focus across manufacturing, industrial and technology-led sectors, pivoting on Engineering Intelligence (EI) as part of its next 5-year roadmap and has divested the erstwhile Smart World and Communication (SWC) business to AMI Paradigm Solutions Private Limited (AMI Paradigm).

 

AMI Paradigm, a special purpose entity established between ParadigmIT Technology Services Private Limited and AM Intelligence Labs Private Limited (promoted by the founders of the Greenko Group), focuses on advancing AI for Public Systems and Critical Infrastructure Services. The entity has signed a binding agreement to acquire the SWC businesses from LTTS. The SWC capabilities across India and other geographies are expected to complement the long term-term growth strategy for AMI Paradigm.

 

The divestment will enable capital allocation towards Engineering Intelligence, which is a high growth area for LTTS. Under its 5-year strategic Lakshya Plan, LTTS is sharpening its focus with 6 large technology bets, including EI, which will further accelerate growth in its three segments – Mobility, Tech and Sustainability – while consolidating its positioning as a global engineering intelligence partner. 

 

Amit Chadha, CEO and Managing Director, L&T Technology Services, said, “As we pursue long-term value creation for our stakeholders, we are reframing our strategic bets, with EI, Software and Digital Manufacturing as key focus pillars in our select segments of Mobility, Sustainability and Tech. We believe these will drive faster growth opportunities for LTTS. AMI Paradigm, by integrating SWC’s public sector capabilities, will strengthen its AI offerings, while creating a robust platform for Smart World employees and delivering enhanced value to our existing clients.”

 

Anil Chalamalasetty, Chairman, AM Group, said, “Advances in clean energy, high-performance computing infrastructure, and accelerator chipsets are unlocking unprecedented AI compute power. The real transformation, however, lies in translating this foundation into domain-specific intelligence and real-world applications. The Smart World & Communication business represents this critical layer, operationalizing AI for mission-critical systems across governments, cities, utilities, transport networks, and enterprises, enabling more autonomous, data-driven infrastructure and decision-making.”

 

Sridhar Gadhi of ParadigmIT added, “Over the past two years we have been investing in the operating layer for enterprises and public systems. With the coming together of ParadigmIT and the Smart World business, we would be building an AI-led platform focused on domain-specific models, sovereign AI architectures, and outcome-driven systems for governments and enterprises.”

Enerstage Breaks down Farm Residue into Biofuel, Soil Support, and Energy

Business Wire India

Enerstage is stepping forward with a process-driven approach to renewable energy, showing how agricultural residue can be handled differently from the start. Instead of focusing only on outcomes, Enerstage is highlighting how the process itself creates value. The initiative works by taking plant leftovers like cashew shells and palm residues and putting them through a controlled system that transforms them step by step.

 

The process kicks off by collecting and preparing the residue. Once it’s completely ready, the whole material is put into a reactor and is heated between 300-450 degrees Celsius. Because of this, the material does not burn. It breaks down gradually, allowing different usable outputs to form instead of turning into smoke and ash.

 

How the Process Creates Value

 

Enerstage focuses on what happens inside the system rather than just the final result. One input moves through a controlled cycle and produces multiple outputs at the same time. This includes liquid fuel that can support industrial use, a carbon-rich material that can be returned to soil, and a gas that helps power the process itself. Each part of the output has a clear use, making the system practical rather than experimental.

 

Why This Process Matters

 

This approach changes how agricultural residue is handled at scale. Instead of clearing it through burning, the same material can be used in ways that support both industry and farmland. The process reduces waste, limits unnecessary emissions, and creates a working cycle where each and every stage contributes to the next.

 

Growth for All, Care for Earth

 

“We turn farm waste into clean biofuel and long-term carbon storage. We build real energy infrastructure backed by measurable environmental impact. Our goal is to make renewable energy practical and scalable for industries and communities worldwide. We believe economic growth and environmental responsibility must move forward together,” Juyoung Ahn, CEO of Enerstage.

 

Built for Real Use

 

Enerstage applies this process in real operating conditions where residue is converted continuously. Industries can use the fuel without changing their existing systems, while the soil benefits from the return of carbon-rich material. The process fits into existing workflows instead of requiring major adjustments.

 

Tracking the Entire Flow

 

Enerstage also connects this process to blockchain tracking on BSC, allowing each stage to be recorded and measured. From input collection to output generation, the data remains visible and verifiable. This gives communities and partners a clearer view of what is being produced and how the system is performing over time.

 

Moving Forward With the Process

 

Enerstage continues to expand by focusing on process efficiency and real output. As more systems come online, the same step-by-step cycle will scale across different locations. The idea remains simple: handle residue differently, process it carefully, and let it turn into something useful.

 

Let’s adapt this environmentally friendly shift and create a better Earth together.
