This press release features multimedia. View the full release here: https://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20260408212380/en/

Through this collaboration with Microsoft, Reply reinforces its commitment to enabling organisations to implement artificial intelligence responsibly and at scale, supporting long-term digital transformation objectives.

Microsoft Agent 365 introduces a structured framework enabling organisations to deploy, monitor and manage AI agents consistently across business functions. As artificial intelligence becomes embedded in core operational processes, Agent 365 provides clarity, control and accountability, ensuring that AI-driven activities remain transparent, secure and aligned with organisational objectives.

Drawing on the expertise of the Reply group company specialised in Microsoft technologies, Reply, as a Launch Partner, will support clients in operationalising Agent 365 through a structured and scalable approach that combines technical enablement with governance design and adoption strategy, helping organisations move from isolated AI experimentation to coordinated, enterprise-wide agent ecosystems.

This approach translates into:

Assessment of AI and agent maturity across the organisation
Design of governance, security and compliance frameworks for AI, Agents and Agentic Platform
Definition of observability and performance monitoring models
Configuration, roll-out and ongoing management of Agent 365
Adoption and change enablement programmes to ensure sustainable business value

Reply brings consolidated experience in Microsoft technologies and enterprise AI transformation, combining strong technological capabilities with sector-specific knowledge across financial services, manufacturing, retail, telecommunications and the public sector. This expertise is reflected in large-scale, governed AI adoption programmes such as the Copilot rollout at Lumen — where 93% utilisation was achieved across the organisation, more than 5,700 employees were trained through over 180 structured sessions, and dedicated governance and enablement frameworks were implemented to ensure transparency, control and measurable business impact. It is also demonstrated through the development of innovative AI-powered experiences like the “App to the Future” AI-scape room, built on Microsoft AI and low-code technologies to showcase how intelligent solutions can be securely designed, orchestrated and scaled within enterprise environments.

"The introduction of Microsoft Agent 365 marks an important step in the evolution of enterprise AI. As organisations move towards distributed networks of intelligent agents, governance, observability and lifecycle management become critical enablers of scale. Being confirmed as a Launch Partner reflects Reply's commitment to supporting clients in building structured, secure and measurable agent ecosystems, fully integrated within their enterprise architectures." Commented Filippo Rizzante, CTO of Reply

Cyviz Launches Unified Software Platform to Support Complex Environments8.4.2026 12:00:00 EEST | Press release

Cyviz AS announces the launch of its enhanced software platform, marking a milestone in the company’s strategic transition toward becoming a technology‑ and platform‑led company. The Cyviz Software Platform helps organizations monitor, manage, and optimize complex AV and IoT environments through a single, unified software layer. Across industries such as energy, defense, transportation, consulting, and large enterprise environments, organizations increasingly rely on complex, multivendor technology ecosystems to support critical operations. These are often managed using fragmented tools, resulting in limited visibility, higher operational risk, and reactive maintenance. Cyviz’ platform addresses this challenge by unifying monitoring and management across technologies, vendors, and locations. With real-time insights, proactive alerts, and centralized control, organizations can move from reactive incident handling to more predictable and resilient operations. “Many organizations are stru

Croma-Pharma Acquires Synocrom™ and Returns to Orthopaedics8.4.2026 08:00:00 EEST | Press release

Croma-Pharma is returning to the orthopaedics market with the reacquisition of Synocrom™, a hyaluronic acid product for the treatment of knee osteoarthritis. A strategic return built on proven heritage With the reacquisition of Synocrom™, Croma-Pharma is re-entering orthopaedics and further broadening its portfolio in a field with strong historical roots for the company. Until 2014, Croma was active in orthopaedics, with Synocrom™ serving as a key pillar of its offering. Synocrom™ is not a new name in the market. During the period in which Croma actively marketed the product, it became one of the leading hyaluronic acid brands in Europe and ranked among the top brands in its category. Its return therefore represents more than a portfolio expansion: it marks the continuation of a successful orthopaedic legacy and reconnects Croma with an important part of its history.
