  • SMX and Singapore’s A*STAR Create World’s First National Plastics Passport, Solving Recycling’s Fatal Flaw (NASDAQ: SMX)

    SMX and Singapore’s A*STAR Create World’s First National Plastics Passport, Solving Recycling’s Fatal Flaw (NASDAQ: SMX)

    NEW YORK, NY / ACCESS Newswire / September 11, 2025 / Recycling was supposed to be the easy win for sustainability. Policymakers set bold targets, global brands pledged billions, and NGOs pressed for accountability. Yet despite all that ambition, the results speak for themselves. Recycling rates remain stuck, plastics continue to pile up, and skepticism runs deep across the supply chain.

    That gap between ambition and outcome is exactly what SMX (NASDAQ:SMX) and Singapore’s A*STAR are solving with the world’s first national plastics passport. By embedding proof at the molecular level, their system is designed to fix the very flaws that have undermined recycling for decades.

    At the root of recycling’s failure is not intent but structure. The frameworks built decades ago were designed too narrowly, audited too loosely, and fragmented by geography. The outcome was inevitable.

    Fragmentation came first. Each country, and often each city, created its own patchwork of rules and collection standards. What qualifies as recycled content in one jurisdiction might not in another. The result is a global marketplace where no one can agree on what is credible, making it impossible for multinational brands to prove consistent compliance.

    Inconsistent auditing followed. Most systems rely on paperwork, certifications, or periodic inspections. These are subjective, easy to manipulate, and incapable of providing continuous proof. When a brand says its packaging contains 30% recycled content, regulators and consumers have little more than a trust-me statement to rely on. That lack of transparency undermines confidence in the entire loop.

    The final flaw is scope. Recycling frameworks built around PET bottles and food-grade rPET were always destined to disappoint. PET accounts for only a fraction of global plastic use. The real volume sits in industrial polymers, automotive resins, electronics, textiles, and construction-grade plastics. By leaving those categories outside the system, recycling was guaranteed to remain an aspiration rather than a reality.

    Taken together, these three flaws are not minor oversights. They are the fatal design features that explain why decades of effort have not produced the results policymakers and brands promised.

    The Passport That Rebuilds the System

    SMX enters the story not as another recycling company, but as the architect of a system designed to work. Its molecular-level marking technology, which creates a digital plastic passport for all types of plastics, fixes the very flaws that have kept recycling from becoming functional.

    Instead of fragmenting, the plastics passport unifies. By embedding a molecular marker directly into materials, not applied after the fact, SMX creates a digital, in Singapore’s case, national plastics passport, that can be scanned and trusted across borders. What makes these plastics passports so compelling is that, whether in Singapore, Europe, or the United States, the same verification and proof standards hold true. The fractured marketplace finally has a consistent standard. And the company’s Plastic Cycle Token (PCT) adds financial incentives.

    Instead of paper audits, the passport delivers proof. A polymer carrying an SMX marker can be tracked at every step of its lifecycle, from production through use to recycling and reuse. This continuous verification replaces subjective claims with objective evidence. Brands and regulators do not need to wait for quarterly disclosures or rely on audits that only sample small windows in time. Proof is present in the material itself.

    All types. Instead of focusing nearly exclusively on PET or rPET, the SMX plastics passport expands coverage. SMX’s markers work across all polymer types, from high-performance plastics in electronics to resins used in construction and automotive industries. That expansion changes the math entirely. Recycling can finally address the full plastics economy rather than a sliver of it.

    By the way, it is no coincidence that Singapore has become the first country to implement this vision on a national scale. They have led in other markets, structurally changing some in the financial sector. By working with A*STAR and SMX to launch a plastics passport program, Singapore is leading again, this time transforming the idea of recycling from patchwork experiments into national infrastructure. That leadership is already influencing ASEAN, where the region can see a tangible pathway to replicate Singapore’s framework into a market worth more than S$4.2 billion annually.

    Why the Fix Matters Now

    Those billions are the tip of the sustainability iceberg, making the stakes for getting this right never higher. Governments are under pressure to prove their environmental policies create a measurable impact. Brands are under pressure from consumers and investors to back up sustainability claims with real evidence. Financial markets are searching for companies that can turn compliance into value creation.

    With SMX, plastics recycling shifts from aspiration to infrastructure. Waste becomes verified feedstock, compliance becomes a source of defensible value, and sustainability becomes measurable. For governments, this means accountability that functions across borders. For brands, it means proof that holds up to scrutiny. For stakeholders, it signals a company not simply aligned with a trend but positioned to own the architecture of a new system.

    The fatal flaw in recycling was never ambition. It was design. Now, with an SMX plastics passport program built at the molecular level, the design itself has been fixed. Plastics recycling finally has the chance to work as promised, and SMX is the company making that historic correction possible.

    Icotrokinra is a first-in-class investigational targeted oral peptide that selectively blocks the IL-23 receptor 1

    Filing based on four Phase 3 studies that met all primary and co-primary endpoints. This unprecedented data package includes head-to-head superiority comparisons versus deucravacitinib, adolescent data, and evaluation of difficult to treat skin sites2,3,4,5,6

    Submission underscores that icotrokinra has the potential to offer moderate-to-severe plaque psoriasis patients the combination of complete skin clearance and a favourable safety profile, relative to comparators, with the simplicity of a once-daily tablet. 2,3,4,5,6

    NEWARK, CA / ACCESS Newswire / September 11, 2025 / Protagonist Therapeutics, Inc. (“Protagonist” or the “Company”) today announced the submission of an application to the European Medicines Agency (EMA) by Johnson & Johnson seeking the first approval of icotrokinra, a first-in-class investigational targeted oral peptide that selectively blocks the IL-23 receptor for the treatment of adults and pediatric patients 12 years of age and older (adolescents) with moderate-to-severe plaque psoriasis (PsO).1Icotrokinra is an investigational targeted oral tablet that is designed to block the IL-23 receptor,which underpins the inflammatory response in PsO and offers potential in other IL-23-mediated diseases.7,8

    The application included data from four Phase 3 studies conducted as part of the ICONIC clinical development program, including ICONIC-LEADa, ICONIC-TOTALb, and ICONIC-ADVANCE 1 & ICONIC-ADVANCE 2c. Treatment with icotrokinra met all primary and co-primary endpoints across the development program among adults and adolescents 12 years of age and older with moderate-to-severe PsO, demonstrating significant skin clearance and a favourable safety profile in a once-daily tablet, as previously established in the ICONIC-LEAD and ICONIC-TOTAL clinical studies. 2,3,4,5,6 Results from the ICONIC-ADVANCE 1 & 2 studies show icotrokinra achieved co-primary endpoints and showed superiority to deucravacitinib in moderate-to-severe PsO.d,e,5,6 Across all studies, pooled safety data showed a similar proportion of patients experienced adverse events (AEs) between icotrokinra (49.1%) and placebo (51.9%) groups, with no new safety signals identified to date.2,3,4,5,6

    “This EMA submission comes on the heels of a U.S. FDA NDA filing in late July, both of which are supported by a very comprehensive clinical data package demonstrating the significant impact icotrokinra has in the clinical setting, and highlighting its potential to disrupt the current treatment paradigm and transform the approach of plaque psoriasis care,” said Dinesh V. Patel, Ph.D., President and Chief Executive Officer at Protagonist. “We look forward to sharing additional data in ongoing studies, including the ANTHEM ulcerative colitis 12-week data at the upcoming United European Gastroenterology meeting as well as data from the ICONIC-LEAD and ICONIC-ADVANCE trials being presented at the European Academy of Dermatology and Venereology Congress in Paris next week.”

    Data submitted to the EMA as part of the application include:

    • Results from the Phase 3 ICONIC-LEAD study, presented as a late-breaking abstract at the 2025 American Academy of Dermatology (AAD) Annual Meeting, showed that icotrokinra successfully met the co-primary endpoints of an Investigator’s Global Assessment (IGA)d score of 0/1 (clear or almost clear skin) and Psoriasis Area and Severity Index (PASI)e 90 compared to placebo at Week 16.2

    • A subgroup analysis of ICONIC-LEAD, presented at the 2025 World Congress of Pediatric Dermatology (WCPD), which demonstrated adolescents treated with once-daily icotrokinra achieved higher rates of clear or almost clear skin at Week 16 compared to patients receiving placebo, with no new safety signals identified.3

    • Data from the Phase 3 ICONIC-TOTAL study, presented at the 2025 Society for Investigative Dermatology (SID) Annual Meeting, that highlighted the potential of icotrokinra in patients with difficult-to-treat scalp and genital psoriasis.4

    • Results from the Phase 3 ICONIC-ADVANCE 1 & ICONIC-ADVANCE 2 studies, that further reinforced the overall efficacy profile, met co-primary endpoints of IGA 0/1 and PASI 90 versus placebo at Week 16. Icotrokinra also met all key secondary endpoints at Weeks 16 and 24 that measured superiority to deucravacitinib in patients with moderate-to-severe PsO.5,6,9

    • Long-term data from the ICONIC development program, including at least 52-weeks of treatment for ICONIC-LEAD and ICONIC-TOTAL, and results from a randomized withdrawal analysis evaluating the durability of response, are being prepared for presentation at a future medical meeting.

    Editor’s notes:

    1. ICONIC-LEAD is a Phase 3 randomized controlled trial (RCT) evaluating the efficacy and safety of icotrokinra compared with placebo in 684 participants (icotrokinra=456; placebo=228) 12 years of age or older with moderate-to-severe plaque psoriasis, measuring the percentage of participants who achieve a PASI 90 response and an IGA score of 0/1 with at least a 2-grade improvement as co-primary endpoints. ICONIC-LEAD enrolled 66 adolescent patients.10

    2. ICONIC-TOTAL is a Phase 3 RCT evaluating the efficacy and safety of icotrokinra compared with placebo for the treatment of plaque psoriasis in 311 participants (icotrokinra=208; placebo=103) with at least moderate severity affecting special areas (e.g., scalp, genital and/or hands and feet) with overall IGA score of 0 or 1 with at least a 2-grade improvement as the primary endpoint.11

    3. ICONIC-ADVANCE 1 & 2 are Phase 3 RCTs evaluating the efficacy and safety of icotrokinra compared with placebo and deucravacitinib in participants with moderate-to-severe plaque psoriasis with PASI 90 and IGA score of 0/1 with at least a 2-grade improvement as co-primary endpoints.9,12

    4. The IGA is a five-point scale with a severity score ranging from 0 to 4, where 0 indicates clear, 1 is minimal, 2 is mild, 3 is moderate and 4 indicates severe disease.13

    5. The PASI score grades the amount of surface area on each body region that is covered by psoriasis plaques and the severity of plaques for their redness, thickness and scaliness.14 PASI 90 corresponds to an improvement of >=90% in PASI score from baseline.14

    About the ICONIC Clinical Development Programme
    The pivotal Phase 3 ICONIC clinical development program of icotrokinra (JNJ-2113) in adult and adolescent individuals with moderate-to-severe plaque psoriasis was initiated with two studies in Q4 2023 – ICONIC-LEAD and ICONIC-TOTAL – pursuant to the license and collaboration agreement between Protagonist Therapeutics, Inc. and Janssen Biotech, Inc., a Johnson & Johson company.15

    ICONIC-LEAD (NCT06095115) is a RCT to evaluate the efficacy and safety of icotrokinra compared with placebo in participants with moderate-to-severe plaque psoriasis, with PASI 90 and IGA score of 0 or 1 with at least a 2-grade improvement as co-primary endpoints.10

    ICONIC-TOTAL (NCT06095102) is a RCT to evaluate the efficacy and safety of icotrokinra compared with placebo for the treatment of psoriasis in participants with at least moderate severity affecting special areas (e.g., scalp, genital, and/or hands and feet) with an overall IGA score of 0 or 1 with at least a 2-grade improvement as the primary endpoint.11

    Other Phase 3 studies in the development programme include ICONIC-ADVANCE 1 (NCT06143878) and ICONIC-ADVANCE 2 (NCT06220604), which are evaluating the efficacy and safety of icotrokinra compared with both placebo and deucravacitinib in adults with moderate-to-severe plaque psoriasis.9,12

    ICONIC-ASCEND will evaluate the efficacy and safety of icotrokinra compared with placebo and ustekinumab in participants with moderate-to-severe plaque psoriasis. ICONIC-PsA 1 (NCT06878404) and ICONIC-PsA 2 (NCT06807424) will evaluate the efficacy and safety of icotrokinra compared to placebo in participants with active psoriatic arthritis. 16,17

    About Plaque Psoriasis
    Plaque psoriasis (PsO) is a chronic immune-mediated disease resulting in overproduction of skin cells, which causes inflamed, scaly plaques that may be itchy or painful. It is estimated that 8 million Americans and more than 125 million people worldwide live with the disease. Nearly one-quarter of all people with plaque PsO have cases that are considered moderate to severe. On Caucasian skin, plaques typically appear as raised, red patches covered with a silvery white buildup of dead skin cells or scale. On skin of color, the plaques may appear darker and thicker, and more of a purple, gray, or dark brown color. Plaques can appear anywhere on the body, although they most often appear on the scalp, knees, elbows, and torso. Living with plaque PsO can be a challenge and impact life beyond a person’s physical health, including emotional health, relationships, and handling the stressors of life. Psoriasis on highly visible areas of the body or sensitive skin, such as the scalp, hands, feet, and genitals, can have an increased negative impact on quality of life.

    About Icotrokinra (JNJ-77242113, JNJ-2113)
    Investigational icotrokinra is the first targeted oral peptide designed to selectively block the IL-23 receptor, which underpins the inflammatory response in moderate-to-severe plaque PsO, ulcerative colitis, and offers potential in other IL-23-mediated diseases. Icotrokinra binds to the IL-23 receptor with single-digit picomolar affinity and demonstrates potent, selective inhibition of IL-23 signaling in human T cells. The license and collaboration agreement established between Protagonist Therapeutics, Inc. and Janssen Biotech, Inc., a Johnson & Johnson company, in 2017 enabled the companies to work together to discover and develop next-generation compounds that ultimately led to icotrokinra.

    Icotrokinra was jointly discovered and is being developed pursuant to the license and collaboration agreement between Protagonist and Johnson & Johnson. Johnson & Johnson retains exclusive worldwide rights to develop icotrokinra in Phase 2 clinical trials and beyond, and to commercialize compounds derived from the research conducted pursuant to the agreement against a broad range of indications.

    Icotrokinra is being studied in the pivotal Phase 3 ICONIC clinical development program in moderate-to-severe plaque psoriasis and active psoriatic arthritis and the Phase 2b ANTHEM-UC study in moderately to severely active ulcerative colitis.

    About Protagonist

    Protagonist Therapeutics is a discovery through late-stage development biopharmaceutical company. Two novel peptides derived from Protagonist’s proprietary discovery platform are currently in advanced Phase 3 clinical development, with New Drug Application (NDA) for icotrokinra submitted to the FDA in July and in the NDA submission for rusfertide expected by end of 2025. Icotrokinra (formerly, JNJ-2113), is a first-in-class investigational targeted oral peptide that selectively blocks the Interleukin-23 receptor (“IL-23R”) which is licensed to Janssen Biotech, Inc., a Johnson & Johnson company. Following icotrokinra’s joint discovery by Protagonist and Johnson & Johnson scientists pursuant to the companies’ IL-23R collaboration, Protagonist was primarily responsible for development of icotrokinra through Phase 1, with Johnson & Johnson assuming responsibility for development in Phase 2 and beyond. Rusfertide, a mimetic of the natural hormone hepcidin, is currently in Phase 3 development for the rare blood disorder polycythemia vera (PV). Rusfertide is being co-developed and will be co-commercialized with Takeda Pharmaceuticals pursuant to a worldwide collaboration and license agreement entered in 2024 under which the Company remains primarily responsible for development through NDA filing. The Company also has a number of pre-clinical stage drug discovery programs addressing clinically and commercially validated targets, including IL-17 oral peptide antagonist PN-881, obesity triple agonist peptide PN-477, and the oral hepcidin program.

  • EON Resources Inc. Announces Farmout of San Andres Rights to Virtus Energy Partners, LLC $300+ million San Andres Horizontal Drilling Program Up to 90 Wells with a Reserve Value Estimated at $95+ million in Net PV-10

    EON Resources Inc. Announces Farmout of San Andres Rights to Virtus Energy Partners, LLC $300+ million San Andres Horizontal Drilling Program Up to 90 Wells with a Reserve Value Estimated at $95+ million in Net PV-10

    HOUSTON, TX / ACCESS Newswire / September 11, 2025 / EON Resources Inc. (NYSE American:EONR) (“EON” or the “Company”) is an independent upstream energy company with 20,000 leasehold acres in the Permian Basin. The fields have a total of 750 producing and injection wells producing over 1,000 barrels of oil per day. Today, the Company announced the entering into a Farmout Agreement (the “Farmout”) with a subsidiary of Virtus Energy Partners, LLC (“Virtus”) on September 9, 2025.

    Under the Farmout, Virtus acquired the right to develop the Company’s San Andres formation within the Grayburg Jackson Field (“GJF”) where it believes as many as 90 horizontal drilling locations are prospective. Virtus will be the designated operator and lead the development efforts.

    The Frisco, Texas based Virtus team has a recent and relevant history as the preeminent horizontal San Andres developer in the Permian Basin. Organically and through acquisitions, Virtus created immense value in the state line area of Texas and New Mexico; growing from zero to more than thirty thousand gross operated barrels of oil equivalent per day from more than two hundred horizontal San Andres wells. Virtus’ management team gained their expertise developing conventional and unconventional reservoirs with modern technology in most of the notable United States basins before settling on their strategy of redeveloping conventional oilfields in the Permian Basin of Texas and New Mexico.

    The closing of the drilling program farmout was simultaneous with the closing of the funding for the settlement of seller obligations and the retirement of senior debt. For additional information regarding the funding, the related press release is available on the EON press releases page of our website.

    Highlights of the program and farmout agreement:

    • Virtus paid EON $5.0 million for the acquisition of a 65% working interest in the leasehold rights in the San Andres formation. The Company retains a 35% non-operated working interest in the San Andres and 100% operated working interest in the remaining productive formations.

    • As many as 90 horizontal wells are expected to be drilled at a cost between $3.5 million and $4.0 million per well. Cumulative capital investment by Virtus and EON is expected to exceed $300 million over the life of the project.

    • The annual drilling program is expected to range from 10 to 20 new horizontal wells per year with initial production rates of 300 to 500 barrels of oil per day (“BOPD”).

    • Over the life of the drilling program, gross oil production is expected to exceed 20,000 BOPD with 35%, or 7,000 BOPD, net to the Company’s working interest.

    • The first three wells are anticipated to be completed by mid-year 2026.The costs associated with the first three wells are solely Virtus’ responsibility.

    • The Economic Summary Projection of the anticipated development plan (the “Projection”) prepared by Virtus estimates more than ninety-five million dollars of reserve value based on net present value discounted at ten percent (“NPV-10”) net to EON’s retained ownership interest. The Projection estimates the reserves attributable to EON’s interest may exceed ten million barrels of oil and six billion cubic feet of natural gas.

    “As we scouted the Permian Basin for our next project, Virtus was pleased to find the Grayburg Jackson Field,” said Lance Taylor, Chief Executive Officer of Virtus. “The subsurface characteristics are very similar to, and in many ways, better than, our incredibly successful horizontal San Andres efforts along the Texas and New Mexico state line. We have great expectations for this new venture and are thrilled to be partnering with EON’s team and our new sponsor.”

    “We are very pleased to team with Virtus whose team has a proven track record. We have always been confident in the potential of the application of horizontal drilling technology to San Andres formation across our leasehold, but wanted to partner with a proven technical team. It will be a pleasure to work with the Virtus staff, who are very experienced and professional,” said Dante Caravaggio, President and CEO of EON. “An additional benefit to EON and our shareholders is the net proceeds from the first 3 wells are expected to cover about half of the drilling capital needs for the next wave of horizontal drilling. We expect that once 10 horizontal wells are drilled and producing that the future drilling capex becomes self-sustaining.”

  • Why the UK’s New Cyber Law Makes Relying Only on Microsoft 365 Security a Risky Move for MSPs, CyberSentriq Shares Insight

    Why the UK’s New Cyber Law Makes Relying Only on Microsoft 365 Security a Risky Move for MSPs, CyberSentriq Shares Insight

    UK cyber compliance is changing, and native MS tools alone won’t protect you from the threats and the regulators!

    LONDON, GB / ACCESS Newswire / September 11, 2025 / CyberSentriq, a unified cybersecurity and data resilience platform purpose-built for MSPs, warns that the UK’s upcoming Cyber Security and Resilience Bill  will demand a rethink among Managed Service Providers (MSPs). With the UK Parliament set to grant regulators more teeth, MSPs will face tougher expectations not just around best practice, but mandatory compliance. The Bill is anticipated to reach Parliament in the second half of 2025, although the exact timeline remains uncertain. 

    One thing is clear: relying solely on native Microsoft 365 security features will not be good enough.

    Despite what the E5 license price tag might suggest, Microsoft’s native tools – Exchange Online Protection, Defender for Office 365 and Purview – leave dangerous blind spots such as gaps in detection and response, configuration complexity and inconsistency and the risk of single-vendor reliance.

    The government knows it, threat actors know it, and if MSPs don’t get ahead of it, their clients will soon find out the hard way.

    James Griffin, CEO at CyberSentriq, a unified cybersecurity and data resilience platform purpose-built for MSPs, warns that relying solely on Microsoft 365 for security leaves MSPs exposed to growing threats like BEC attacks, phishing and QR code scams. With the UK’s Cyber Security and Resilience Bill set to raise the bar on compliance and reporting, MSPs must move beyond native tools and adopt a layered security strategy to demonstrate true operational resilience.

    The Reality of Shared Responsibility

    Microsoft operates under a shared responsibility model, meaning they keep the cloud infrastructure running, but the responsibility for protecting the data is on the customer. Or, in the case of most UK SMBs, on the MSP they work with.

    This is where the cracks can start to show. Exchange Online Protection misses low-volume Business Email Compromise (BEC) attacks. Defender isn’t tuned for QR code phishing or MFA bypasses. Audit logs? They’re either buried in Purview or missing altogether on lower-tier plans.

    We all know that the threat of a breach is real and growing. Indeed, our own recent research confirms this and paints quite a stark picture:

    • 64% of organisations expected phishing threats to increase in 2025.

    • 1 in 5 MSP customers suffered a successful BEC attack in 2024.

    • 45% of MSP customers experienced a breach of sensitive employee data.

    • Over 20% were hit by credential theft via QR code phishing, an attack vector that bypassed Microsoft 365’s native defences entirely.

    Take the increasing use of generative AI and deepfake-based impersonation attacks into account, and the potential risk grows exponentially. These aren’t theoretical threats; they’re happening now – and the regulators are watching.

    Microsoft 365 isn’t the enemy, but on its own, it’s not enough

    I’m not calling for you to abandon Microsoft and its native security tools, but there needs to be a sense of realism. Microsoft 365 is a powerful productivity suite, but it’s not a fully-fledged cybersecurity platform. In fact, 98% of the organisations sampled in our research using Microsoft 365 said that third-party security solutions are “highly important” for defending against advanced threats.

    Perhaps this is why MSPs are shifting to layered protection strategies such as:

    • AI-powered email filtering and behavioural detection

    • DNS-level filtering and link rewriting

    • Proactive phishing simulation and user training

    • Backup and rapid recovery across email, endpoints and SaaS apps

    This isn’t security overkill; it’s the modern-day baseline.

    Get ahead of the regulation or risk being left behind

    The upcoming Cyber Security and Resilience Bill aims to drive up standards and is expected to introduce stricter incident reporting obligations, resilience testing and penalties for non-compliance.

    Smart MSPs are taking the opportunity to reassess their tech stack. This isn’t only for the sake of compliance, but also because the reputational and financial damage from a breach is too great to risk. MSPs must demonstrate not only uptime, but also proactive cyber resilience – the ability to detect, defend, respond and recover at speed.

    The Bottom Line

    If you’re an MSP relying solely on Microsoft 365 to keep clients safe, you’re not just under-protected – you’re underprepared. The cybersecurity landscape has changed, the law is catching up, and it’s time your security strategy changed too.

    About CyberSentriq:
    CyberSentriq is an integrated cybersecurity and data protection platform, leveraging solutions from two best-of-breed vendors in the MSP space.

  • Dalet Unveils Agentic AI Media Workflows at IBC2025

    Dalet Unveils Agentic AI Media Workflows at IBC2025

    New Dalet intelligent interface simplifies even the most complex production and media supply chain operations, enabling users to streamline workflows through a familiar, natural language user experience.

    NEW YORK, NY / ACCESS Newswire / September 11, 2025 / Dalet today announced a transformative leap forward for media operations: Agentic Artificial Intelligence (AI) that unifies the Dalet ecosystem under one natural language conversational‑style user experience. Far more than an AI chatbot, Dalia is an intelligent layer embedded across Dalet Flex, Dalet Pyramid, Dalet InStream, Dalet Brio, and Dalet Amberfin, featuring a family of media-aware agents that act as assistants to facilitate complex workflows across ingest, production, rights management, distribution and archive. By combining the simple-to-use characteristics of SaaS point solutions with the enterprise strength of Dalet’s architecture and workflow expertise, the company has made a game-changing move forward, giving customers both the industry’s most powerful news, sports, and media supply chain solution and its most user‑friendly.

    “After a year of shaping and executing our product strategy, we’re thrilled to bring this vision to life,” said Stephen Garland, Chief Product and Technology Officer at Dalet. “From day one, we have challenged ourselves and the industry to deliver the kind of seamless, user‑centric experience that consumers now expect. What we’re unveiling isn’t just another tool or AI chatbot. It’s intelligence beyond an agent, a transformational leap that unifies the entire Dalet ecosystem under a single interface. With this launch, media professionals can reimagine how they work, leveraging the full power of our platform through a conversation with a trusted assistant.”

    Read about Dalet’s product strategy and journey in Stephen’s article: Breaking the Bottleneck: Building Time to Value Solutions.

    Built on Dalet’s open core API, the agentic interface sits above all applications in the Dalet portfolio, offering a single conversational entry point to powerful functions. Users can ask the agent to locate assets, build title collections based on rights status, trigger review workflows, or schedule live ingest, and the system will execute these tasks end‑to‑end.

    Unlike generic chatbots, Dalet’s conversational AI interface and Agents are “media aware”: trained on the company’s own orchestration and media engine, not on customer data. This allows users to securely interact with a full range of media types directly within the chat. Training and analyzing of media is done within the core platform, providing complete control of what engines access customers’ content. Dalet AI Agents understand how to search, clip, transcode, and package content without users leaving the chat. This approach augments traditional user interfaces for many day‑to‑day tasks, giving users the ability to perform complex operations with ease.

    Inside Dalet’s Innovative In-House Start-Up
    The new Agentic AI capability is the result of Dalet’s bold approach to innovation, driven by Dalet CPTO, Stephen Garland. Building on his proven track record of scaling innovation across other industries, Stephen defined and executed a strategy for media that combines the rigor of an enterprise roadmap with the agility of a startup. To accelerate this vision, he established a “startup within Dalet”. The cross-functional team was led by Erwan Kerfourn, together with Matteo De Martinis and Aaron Kroger.

    “This started as a ‘Skunk Works’ inside Dalet, a startup-style lab where a cross-functional team could move at breakneck speed,” said Erwan Kerfourn. “By combining that freedom to experiment with Dalet’s agile architecture, we turned bold ideas into a market-ready breakthrough. The result is an intelligent layer that feels like a media-savvy colleague, eliminating friction from workflows and giving customers new freedom to create, sell, distribute, and publish faster than ever.”

    Operating at a rapid pace, while remaining aligned with Dalet’s overall strategy, the team could experiment, iterate, and bring breakthrough ideas to market without disrupting daily operations.

  • Century Pools Introduces Complimentary 3D Inground Pool Design Service

    Century Pools Introduces Complimentary 3D Inground Pool Design Service

    Century Pools, a family-owned pool construction company serving Northern California since 1964, has launched a complimentary 3D design service that allows homeowners to visualize their inground pool projects before construction begins.

    The 3D design service enables clients to explore various pool configurations, materials, and features in a detailed virtual environment. Homeowners can review different design options including Gunite pools, Freeform pools, Geometric pools, and Pool and Spa combinations, all rendered in three dimensions to provide accurate representations of how the finished project will appear in their specific outdoor space.

    “This technology transforms the traditional pool planning process by eliminating uncertainty and allowing families to make informed decisions about their investment,” said Patrick O’Neal, senior representative at Century Pools. “Clients can experiment with different shapes, depths, and features while seeing exactly how their new Inground Pool will complement their existing landscape and architecture.”

    The complimentary service includes professional consultation with Century Pools design specialists who guide homeowners through various options while considering factors such as lot size, terrain, local building codes, and budget parameters. The 3D visualization technology displays realistic renderings that include surrounding landscaping, decking materials, water features, and lighting options.

    As an experienced inground pool builder, Century Pools has constructed thousands of custom pools throughout Northern California over nearly six decades. The company maintains an A+ rating with the Better Business Bureau and holds California contractor license number 224222. Their portfolio includes residential projects ranging from compact geometric designs for urban properties to expansive freeform pools with integrated spas for larger estates.

    The 3D design service addresses common concerns homeowners face when planning pool installations. Property owners can assess how different pool placements affect yard usage, evaluate sight lines from various indoor and outdoor vantage points, and understand the spatial relationships between the pool and existing structures.
