Esri’s ArcGIS Platform Chosen by Relive to Scale Development
26.5.2021 15:00:00 EEST | Business Wire | Press release
Esri, the global leader in location intelligence, announced today that Relive, a company which developed an app that chronicles outdoor adventures and journeys by letting users relive those moments, is among the latest to shift to ArcGIS Platform, Esri's new platform as a service (PaaS).
It's a move that more closely fits the needs of the Netherlands-based startup. Relive can buy just what it needs to build and support its app—Esri's World Imagery and World Elevation services as well as use ArcGIS API for JavaScript for extra features. Relive can also continue to scale up with Esri's support as it grows its user base exponentially.
"We're excited to collaborate with Esri to continue providing a world-class outdoor app for our users," said Joris Van Kruijssen, COO and cofounder of Relive. "As a technology startup focused on innovation, it's key for our success to be able to develop and combine different technologies to deliver an ideal user experience. ArcGIS Platform fits this perfectly, and Esri has been of great support for our unique use case."
Relive, an app for Apple and Android phones, was launched by Van Kruijssen along with Lex Daniels and Yousef El-Dardiry in 2016 after the friends had gone on a cycling trip to Spain. Realizing existing apps that tracked their journey only recorded clinical metrics like distance and health, the trio wanted one that could let them easily tell a story they could share with friends and family.
The creators of Relive wanted to keep the technological investments they had made early on when building their app's infrastructure, choosing the right piece of the puzzle for each need as the company grew, without restrictive licensing agreements dictating who would provide what tools. The startup was already working with preferred providers for other needs and had a third-party API but needed high-quality maps and topographical images of the world to chart its users' paths anywhere on the globe, ultimately choosing Esri's rich geographic imagery.
In the app, an animated video shows a moving line tracing a person's route through 3D streets and mountains, marking the time and distance and any stops for photos along the way and revealing the images like a vacation slide show. More than 10 million people now use Relive, and the company's leaders aim to grow this number to 100 million in the coming years.

Vercel Brings New Agent Framework, Full-Stack Capabilities, and Enterprise Controls to Its Agentic Infrastructure Platform17.6.2026 13:13:00 EEST | Press release
Today at Ship, its annual conference, Vercel introduced a set of new products that deepen its agentic infrastructure platform trusted by DoorDash, Helly Hansen, OpenAI, Stripe, and The Weather Company. Founder and CEO Guillermo Rauch and other Vercel leaders unveiled the lineup on stage, anchored by three shifts the products address: agents are now the dominant way software gets deployed, every application is becoming agentic, and enterprises need to run agents in production securely and at scale. The transition is well underway. Six months ago, fewer than three percent of deployments to Vercel infrastructure were triggered by coding agents. Agents now account for more than half. Token volume through Vercel's AI Gateway has grown from roughly two trillion to twenty trillion per month over the same period. And over the past year, Vercel has invested heavily in Python and backend frameworks, with a growing share of customers now running backends and databases alongside their frontends. "
NIQ Introduces NIQ Cadence: A Compound AI Operating System for Marketing Effectiveness17.6.2026 13:00:00 EEST | Press release
NIQ (NYSE: NIQ), a global leader in consumer intelligence, today introduced NIQ Cadence, a compound AI operating system built to change how organizations measure marketing performance, optimize budgets, and act on what the data tells them. NIQ Cadence brings data and intelligence into one continuous environment, moving marketers off fragmented reports and onto a single system that empowers decision making. Marketing has never been more complex. Channels keep multiplying, data sits in silos, and the pressure to prove ROI keeps climbing. As a result, most teams still stitch insight and action together by hand, losing time and confidence at every handoff. NIQ Cadence closes that gap with one system where measurement and decision-making finally run together. “Marketing leaders don’t need more reports. They need a better rhythm,” said Jason Tate, General Manager of Marketing Effectiveness at NIQ. “NIQ Cadence moves organizations beyond disconnected data, siloed tools, and disparate insights

Winning With AI Requires Organizational Transformation, Not Speed of Adoption, Finds New Arthur D. Little Report17.6.2026 13:00:00 EEST | Press release
To successfully embrace the power of AI, businesses need to remove organizational complexity and eliminate unnecessary work, rather than simply using it for fragmented, incremental improvements. Boards must act now to deliver this. That is the key message from AI-First or Disrupted: Beating the Nightmare Competitor, a new report from Arthur D. Little (ADL) based on concrete examples from leading organizations. Within three to five years, AI-first competitors will make faster decisions, have flatter organizations, and operate at lower costs. They will not just optimize handovers between teams, approvals, and reconciliation work; they will eliminate these complex processes entirely. AI is completely changing the economics of work and value creation, removing the need for coordination across multiple teams, while also enabling adaptive, predictive, and personalized products and services. This delivers both lower operational costs and a fundamentally stronger value proposition. However, mo
