NTT DATA, a global leader in AI, digital business and technology services, announced "Intact, intelligent action." This global initiative is designed to help people and organizations translate sustainability commitments into meaningful action. The effort combines awareness, technology and stewardship in support of some of the world's most treasured yet fragile places. Antarctica will be the first chapter. From November 25 to December 2, 2026, a dozen NTT DATA employees will join polar explorer Robert Swan and his 2041 Leadership on the Edge expedition aboard the Magellan Explorer. With the Antarctic Peninsula and nearby islands as their classroom, the NTT DATA team and more than 60 other business and community leaders will explore leadership under pressure, climate policy, sustainability and innovation with a focus on putting commitments into action. NTT DATA began working with Swan in 2022 and named him as the company's Sustainability Ambassador in 2025. The expedition marks a 40-year milestone

Aegis Software, a global provider of manufacturing execution, simulation and planning software, announced built-in Model Context Protocol (MCP) support in Simio. The new capability provides a standards-based way for preferred, compatible generative AI applications to work with Simio’s discrete-event simulation and advanced planning and scheduling software. Using natural language, teams can generate or refine model logic, understand how a Simio model works, troubleshoot errors, run and analyze experiments, and investigate production plans. This helps people who are new to Simio get started faster, enables experienced users to complete tasks more efficiently and gives teams a faster way to understand how operational decisions may perform before putting them into practice. “AI is not new to Simio. Simio has been bringing AI and simulation together for years. What the new built-in MCP support changes is how teams can work with Simio. AI-powered interaction can enable more people to contribute, help experienced users work

Sabel Systems and Anark Corporation have signed a strategic partnership agreement to help the U.S. Department of War and the Military Services accelerate acquisition and capability delivery through model-based collaboration, connected engineering product data, and streamlined technical review. The partnership pairs Sabel's defense acquisition and digital engineering expertise with Anark's model-based collaboration platform, spanning secure product data access, contextual communication and markup, multi-CAD and PLM integrations, and knowledge capture across the digital thread. Together, the companies will help programs extend technical data packages beyond one-way file delivery by connecting authoritative deliverables to a collaborative, model-centric review environment where government and industry work from the same trusted product truth. Traditionally, technical reviews at milestones like critical design reviews (CDR) rely on manual validation of a small CAD baseline sample, often just 3-5%, leaving the rest of the package effectively unchecked. The integration changes that, as Sabel’s TDPWerx™ validates the entire CAD baseline delivered
