57% of Brands Can't Prove ROI on Sports Fan Engagement Despite Rising Investment8.9.2026 12:30:00 EEST | Press release
Research commissioned by Infobip, the global AI-first cloud communications platform celebrating 20 years, shows brands are significantly increasing investment in sports fan engagement even as many struggle to prove business impact. The global study of 500 marketing and digital leaders across industries, including retail, financial services, telecoms, travel, and food & beverage in 11 markets found that brands currently allocate an average of 13% of annual marketing budgets to sports-related activations, and nearly 73% expect investment to increase over the next 12 months. Yet while live sports moments generate the highest levels of fan engagement, nearly half (47%) of organizations admit they struggle to deliver real-time engagement during live events, and more than half (57%) say it is difficult to prove the ROI of their sports marketing investments. Ben Lewis, VP Marketing and Growth at Infobip, said: “Half of brands can't prove the ROI of their sports marketing – that's not a measur

Icon Solutions and MongoDB Benchmark Shows IPF Processing 6,000 Payments per Second with Zero Data Loss Under Failure8.9.2026 11:54:00 EEST | Press release
Icon Solutions and MongoDB today published the results of a joint benchmark showing that the Icon Payments Framework (IPF), running on MongoDB Atlas, processed 6,000 end-to-end payment transactions per second (around 430,000 database operations per second) with a mean end-to-end latency of 0.51 seconds, and recovered from both application and database node failures with zero data loss. Account-to-account payment volumes are moving rapidly onto instant rails. Traffic is migrating from net-settlement schemes to instant schemes, and direct debit volumes are expected to partially move to request-to-pay with settlement through instant schemes. For banks, that means sharper traffic peaks, a growing share of payments bound to scheme SLAs of a few seconds, and no tolerance for downtime. Sustaining several thousand payments per second while maintaining resilience, availability and low latency is routinely underestimated by institutions that self-build, and retro-fitting legacy platforms for alw
