Jama Software, the leader in intelligent engineering management, announced today that Jama Connect® is the first engineering management software to deliver a Model Context Protocol (MCP) Server. Engineers across disciplines can now work in their chosen AI-enabled environment (e.g. Claude, Codex, Cursor, GitHub Copilot, Visual Studio, etc.) and maximize Large Language Model (LLM) inference quality and token efficiency while maintaining AI governance and industry standards compliance with Jama Connect’s Traceability Information Model.  Unlike custom-built integrations, Jama Connect MCP provides a breadth of tools, enforces existing permissions, lifecycle workflows, and audit requirements; thereby ensuring that AI governance and regulatory compliance is maintained.   Engineering organizations for regulated multidisciplinary products are rapidly adopting AI-Driven Development to achieve 10X gains in product velocity. But AI-Driven Development requires reconfiguring the product development process and retooling to fully lever AI engineering agent speed into product velocity gains. Only Jama Connect addresses the key challenges for engineering organizations to achieve the desired product velocity gains from AI-Driven Development:  Spec Driven Development – Engineers and AI engineering agents via MCP must be able to iterate and version in a shared context for specifications and context engineering.  LLM inference quality

SAP SE and Dremio announced that SAP has agreed to acquire Dremio, an open, high-performance data lakehouse platform built to accelerate agentic AI and expand SAP Business Data Cloud’s ability to combine SAP and non-SAP data to more effectively run analytical and AI workloads in real time. Terms of the deal were not disclosed. The transaction is still pending regulatory approval. Most enterprise AI projects fail to deliver value not because of the AI itself, but because the underlying data is fragmented, locked in proprietary formats and stripped of the business context that makes it meaningful. The result is a familiar and costly pattern: pilots that cannot scale, slow integration of new data sources, duplicated engineering work and compliance risk when organizations cannot explain how an AI-driven decision was reached. Dremio helps eliminate that data fragmentation and integration friction. The acquisition will complement the SAP Business Data Cloud and SAP HANA Cloud offerings to

Long Path Partners, LP, a long-standing shareholder of Idox, has completed the acquisition of Idox plc through Frankel UK Bidco Limited, a newly formed company indirectly owned by funds managed by Long Path.

This change in ownership supports Idox’s next phase of growth, with continued focus on delivering reliable, secure solutions and strong customer support. Colleagues, customers and partners can expect continuity in day-to-day operations, alongside ongoing investment in our products, services and innovation. The acquisition, originally announced on October 28, 2025 and subsequently implemented as a contractual takeover offer under the UK Takeover Code, received the overwhelming support of Idox shareholders representing well in excess of the acceptance threshold required for the offer to become unconditional. A partnership for the next phase of growth For more than 25 years, Idox has served as

Tacton, a global leader in Configure, Price, Quote (CPQ) solutions for manufacturers of complex products, announced the launch of AI Product Modeling Assistant, a new capability designed to dramatically accelerate product modeling and remove one of the most persistent barriers to CPQ success. Tacton’s AI Modeling Assistant is part of a core innovation to its CPQ platform, earning a Gold win in the 24th Annual American Business Awards for Most Innovative Tech Company of the Year.  For manufacturers with highly configurable products, product modeling is often the longest and most resource-intensive phase of CPQ implementation. It determines how quickly products can be brought to market, how much of the portfolio is available at launch, and ultimately how fast organizations realize value from their CPQ investment.  At the same time, many manufacturers face increasing pressure from limited modeling expertise, workforce shortages, and the retirement of experienced engineers, making it even harder to scale product knowledge.  AI Modeling Assistant addresses these challenges directly.  “As manufacturers move toward a buyer-centric smart factory,

We gladly announce the v25.1.5 release, for ANSA, EPILYSIS, META, KOMVOS, SPDRM, with critical bug fixes and selected implementations. Follows an overview of the most important items: Known issues resolved in ANSA Data Management Mesh parameters file was not read at all, while connected to a DM. LS-DYNA A couple of cases were encountered with "*MAT_108 *MAT_ORTHO_ELASTIC_PLASTIC". In specific, executing "Fringe > M.SCALE" would not color the model when its material was "*MAT_108 *MAT_ORTHO_ELASTIC_PLASTIC". The ADDED MASS, SCALED MASS and MASS INCR. % would not be calculated for "*MAT_108 *MAT_ORTHO_ELASTIC_PLASTIC". Furthermore, when the LS-DYNA ID SCHEMA was used, SETs might get the same IDs with different SET types while renumbering Includes. For instance, a SET could get the same ID with a SET_PART or vice versa. Abaqus Focusing on STEP Manager, MODEL CHANGE would be written out even if it was set to "NO".
