9.7.2020 17:03:00 EEST | Business Wire | Press release
Planview® today announced the acquisition of Aptage, a technology leader and pioneer in the application of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML) to portfolio management and work management.
Aptage’s expertise in data science is combined with unique domain knowledge in the economics of development spanning Agile and project methodologies. The company’s technology and IP is focused on the application of AI/ML to enterprise software, offering customers early insights and visibility into anticipated value and delivery risk across traditional project management and agile methodologies. For Planview customers, this ultimately means more accurate project outcome forecasting, regardless of work methodologies and processes used to get work done.
“In today’s disruptive environment, the companies with early insights are the ones that can pivot more quickly to create competitive advantage,” said Greg Gilmore, CEO of Planview. “Aptage’s innovative AI/ML technology creates insights into project value and delivery risk, improving and strengthening the strategy to delivery pipeline. We’re excited to welcome Aptage into the Planview family and bring this expertise to our customers.”
“Aptage and Planview share a common vision for the future of AI/ML within portfolio management and work management,” said John Heintz, co-founder and CEO of Aptage. “We’re thrilled to be taking this next step together, expanding the reach of our technology and driving better outcomes for organizations.”
Founded in 2016, Aptage’s proprietary IP was designed to accommodate the small data characteristics of Agile and traditional projects to continuously learn, predict, and provide actionable advice throughout the strategy to delivery pipeline. The technology has been proven with early adopters and is ready to scale to the mainstream market with Planview.
John Heintz, co-founder and CEO, and Dr. Murray Cantor, co-founder and CTO, will be joining Planview, bringing extensive experience and unique expertise to the company. Heintz is a recognized thought leader in the Agile and Lean community with 20 years of hands-on experience, and will be joining to lead product management for AI/ML. Dr. Cantor joins Planview as the company’s Chief Data Scientist, a new role created in recognition of the momentum in data science and the application of AI/ML in enterprise software.
Planview will be embedding the Aptage AI/ML IP across the Planview product portfolio. We anticipate the Aptage technology being available to customers later this year. To learn more, visit: Planview.com.

Customer expectations for tailored experiences are compounding, and legacy platforms struggle to keep pace. Research from Deloitte and Meta states that “80% of U.S. consumers are more likely to purchase from brands offering personalized experiences,” but many organizations fail to meet those expectations due to siloed data, disconnected systems, and developer dependencies.

Europe's Largest Halloween Festival Marks 40 Years in the Birthplace of Halloween27.10.2026 14:37:00 EET | Press release
Rooted in the ancient Celtic festival of Samhain, which marked the end of the harvest season and the beginning of winter more than 2,000 years ago, Halloween can trace its origins to Ireland. This press release features multimedia. View the full release here: https://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20261020759137/en/ Derry Halloween, Co. Derry~Londonderry This year, the story comes full circle as Derry Halloween, Europe's oldest and largest Halloween festival, celebrates its 40th anniversary, leading a programme of events across the island that blend history, storytelling, music, food and spectacle.

Four decades on, the event reflects the city's remarkable journey from conflict to peac
Effort Inflation Puts Brand Loyalty at Risk, Netcracker/CSG Research Finds27.10.2026 14:30:00 EET | Press release
Netcracker/CSG® today released the 2027 State of the Customer Experience Report, which finds that “Effort Inflation,” the growing time, steps, and mental effort customers must use to engage with brands, is damaging trust and loyalty. The findings show that customers will stay with brands that make touchpoints faster and easier, ensure continuity across channels, and preserve access to human support when needed. One consequence of Effort Inflation is the rise of a “shadow customer experience” layer, where customers turn to third-party AI assistants and personal agents to navigate brand interactions, pushing critical touchpoints out of the brand’s control. As more support journeys shift outside owned channels, brands risk losing visibility, context, and opportunities to build trust. This trend reinforces the need for connected, effortless experiences that maintain context across channels, resolve issues quickly, and strengthen loyalty. Netcracker/CSG’s global survey of 1,800 digital citi
