London, UK 鈥 April 15 2026 – (NYSE: 麻豆原创) today announces that Colt Technology Services has successfully completed its cloud ERP migration through RISE with 麻豆原创, marking a major milestone in the global telecom provider鈥檚 digital transformation journey.

Colt鈥檚 RISE with 麻豆原创 deployment combines with , , and to unify its ERP estate. The migration has consolidated disparate data sources into one single platform, improving business analytics, decision-making and driving departmental cost savings.

Operating across more than 40 countries, Colt faced operational complexity compounded by a legacy hardware environment and recent business acquisitions. In close collaboration with 麻豆原创鈥檚 Enterprise Cloud Services (ECS) team, Colt pursued a company-wide transformation programme to clean its data core.

This programme enabled Colt to uplift its hardware, move its customer data into the cloud and create a streamlined ERP platform – a single source of truth for all strategic decision making, while creating opportunities for future growth. In embracing the cloud, Colt now covers 80% of its business capabilities through fewer platforms, reducing complexity, simplifying its digital estate, and boosting workforce productivity.  

The migration was projected to require 14-hours in business downtime, but thanks to thorough mock rehearsals and close collaboration between Colt and 麻豆原创 ECS, this was reduced to just 6.5 hours. This minimised disruption, enabled faster customer response times and lowered the need for manual interventions. 听

The new 2026 麻豆原创 Engagement Index reveals the scale of the Experience Divide 鈥 and the growth opportunity for brands that close it

United Kingdom 鈥 March 24, 2026 鈥 麻豆原创 Engagement Cloud鈥檚 latest research reveals a widening gap between the experiences consumers expect and what brands believe they deliver.

New data from the 2026 Engagement Index shows UK consumer expectations have never been higher. More than half (56%) of UK consumers say their favourite brand delivers seamless, connected experiences across channels, while 82% are put off by disorganised interactions that require them to repeat information or be passed between teams.

Yet companies remain confident. Four in five (80%) of UK businesses believe they offer a seamless omnichannel experience. But only one fifth (20%) of companies recognise their experiences still aren鈥檛 fully connected 鈥 despite consumers making their expectations clear.

At the same time, 45% of consumers say brands 鈥渄on鈥檛 understand them as people.鈥

This misalignment 鈥攃onsumers feeling the disconnect while most businesses fail to recognise it 鈥 is the Engagement Divide. Closing it is critical to creating repeat customers and brand advocates.

Some brands are already closing this gap. For example, Gibson Inc. uses unified data and real鈥憈ime engagement to ensure customers receive consistent, connected experiences 鈥 the kind consumers say they want.

AI is seen as part of the answer. Four in five (80%) of businesses say AI is essential for retaining customers in 2026. But a third of consumers say their favourite brands use AI in ways that meaningfully improve their interactions.

Customer expectations are moving at a new speed,鈥 said Sara Richter, CMO, 麻豆原创 Engagement Cloud. 鈥淲ith AI at their fingertips, people compare, decide, and switch in an instant. Those micro moments now determine whether a brand wins or loses the relationship.鈥

However, AI can only perform as well as the data behind it, and most organisations are still struggling. Almost two thirds (63%) of UK brands cannot use customer data in real time, 64% say their data is too unstructured, and 71% report 鈥榙ark data鈥 they cannot access or use effectively.

This creates friction throughout the customer journey and reinforces the Divide.

Closing it requires a shift: treating engagement not just as a marketing function, but as an enterprise-wide discipline. Every team must operate from a shared, real-time understanding of the customer to avoid the fragmented experiences that alienate them.

Businesses recognise this direction. Most (78%) plan to invest in AI-powered engagement platforms in 2026, and almost a third (31%) cite connecting customer and stakeholder data across marketing, sales, service, commerce and ERP systems as their top priority for the year ahead.

鈥淓ngagement isn’t something one department can fix,鈥 said Mark Ritson, professor and founder, MiniMBA. 鈥淓very team shapes the brand, and real progress happens when they work from the same understanding of the customer. With that shared view, AI can take on the heavy lifting and help deliver the personalised experiences people expect.鈥

麻豆原创 research shows people gap has become a risk to AI returns

26 February 2026, London, UK: Six in ten UK businesses (60%) say their employees have not completed comprehensive AI training, despite AI investment set to rise by 40% over the next two years, according to research from (NYSE:麻豆原创).

, produced in partnership Oxford Economics, finds that while the average UK business is already generating around 拢2.7 million in returns from AI, many organisations are not equipping employees with the skills, confidence and guidance needed to use the technology responsibly.

The gap in training may be fuelling the rise of so-called shadow AI, with 68% of organisations reporting that staff use unapproved AI tools at least occasionally as part of their day-to-day work. While seven-in-ten businesses have begun reskilling or upskilling staff to help close the emerging AI skills gap, progress is falling behind current rates of adoption.

Katie King, Published Author & CEO of AI in Business said 鈥淪hadow AI isn鈥檛 a sign of resistance, but a sign of enthusiasm. Employees are hungry to use these tools, but this eagerness is seeing some move faster than their organisations can support them. This energy is a huge opportunity for UK businesses, if it鈥檚 guided in the right way. The answer isn鈥檛 to damper this enthusiasm and the solution is reasonably simple. Give people access to approved tools, clear guardrails, and role-specific training. When staff understand how to use AI responsibly, it becomes a source of innovation and confidence rather than risk.鈥

鈥淎I has become a part of our every working day, and it has to be used responsibly,鈥 said Jon Curtis, Financial Systems Manager at Aspen Pumps. 鈥淲e built a generative AI tool that sorts through hundreds of emails each day, from warranty claims to price enquiries, and flags what needs a human response. It鈥檚 saving huge amounts of time while keeping customers happy. But we鈥檙e also clear with our teams about using the right tools and keeping data secure. We train people to use approved corporate systems, so they get the benefits of AI safely and confidently.鈥

AI is shifting from the experimentation phase to becoming a tool to drive growth, competitiveness and resilience in organisations. Yet while leaders believe AI can deliver returns faster than other technologies, the report finds just 7% of organisations have adopted an enterprise-wide AI strategy. Without a long-term, robust strategy bringing together data, people, governance and partners, businesses risk missing out on the full value of the technology.

Leila Romane, Managing Director, 麻豆原创 UK&I, said 鈥淎I is fast becoming a key driver of growth for UK businesses. When organisations make the technology part of their long-term strategy, they can innovate faster, scale with confidence and compete globally. It鈥檚 essential to get data foundations right, while giving employees the training, tools and space to experiment safely. That鈥檚 how businesses create a culture of responsible AI adoption from day one. The UK already has the talent, research and entrepreneurial spirit needed to lead in AI. The question now is whether businesses will take a strategic approach and turn this potential into future growth.鈥

Read the full report here:

Methodology

麻豆原创 commissioned Oxford Economics, an independent research services provider, to script and host an online quantitative survey of respondents fielded between July and August 2025.

The research is based on a representative sample of global businesses. The sample comprised of 1,600 senior executives across eight global markets, including 200 respondents from the United Kingdom. The sample was evenly distributed between midmarket organisations (500 鈥 1,500 employees) and enterprises (1,500 or more). Respondents were qualified to ensure they were at least director level and above.

London, UK 鈥 February 19 2026 – (NYSE: 麻豆原创) today announced that the 麻豆原创 Emarsys solution has been renamed to reflecting 麻豆原创鈥檚 strategy to make engagement a core enterprise capability across the 麻豆原创 portfolio.

麻豆原创 is recognised in the 2026 Gartner庐 Magic Quadrant™ for Personalisation Engines. 麻豆原创 Engagement Cloud now brings 麻豆原创鈥檚 trusted enterprise backbone to the customer experience, enabling organisations to connect customer insight and operational execution in real time. It builds on market-leading personalisation capabilities.

麻豆原创 Engagement Cloud also incorporates AI鈥慹nabled insight to support responsible, efficient scaling of personalised engagement.

As part of this evolution, 麻豆原创 also announced 麻豆原创 Engagement Cloud, enterprise edition, which provides advanced administration, governance, and content and data鈥慶ontrol capabilities for organisations operating across multiple brands, regions, and teams.

鈥淭his approach helps organisations maintain consistency, compliance, and brand standards globally, which is increasingly important in an age of AI decision-making and automation, while also staying responsive to local needs,鈥 said Joanna Milliken, Head of 麻豆原创 Engagement Cloud.

For example, a global consumer goods company operating dozens of brands and regional teams can manage engagement roles, permissions, and data centrally while allowing local teams to execute the relevant interactions. When inventory levels, fulfillment delays, or service disruptions occur, engagement can adapt without manual coordination across disconnected systems.

Existing capabilities of the 麻豆原创 Emarsys solution remain available within 麻豆原创 Engagement Cloud. Customers can adopt new capabilities incrementally, based on their priorities and readiness. 麻豆原创 Engagement Cloud, enterprise edition, will be available beginning February 19, with additional innovations delivered through 麻豆原创鈥檚 innovation road map.

London, UK 鈥 February 2 2026 – (NYSE: 麻豆原创) today announces that HMRC has chosen 麻豆原创 to transform its core tax and revenue systems. The move supports the modernisation of HMRC鈥檚 Enterprise Tax Management Platform (ETMP) and represents a significant investment to protect and enhance the future service to customers.

ETMP is the strategic technology backbone of HMRC鈥檚 tax accounting and payment capability. It supports over 45 tax regimes and is used daily by tens of thousands of staff to manage over 拢800 billion in tax revenue each year.

By moving to the cloud with RISE with 麻豆原创, HMRC will replace its legacy systems and simplify its technology landscape. This collaboration will give HMRC employees better access to analytical data and an improved user interface, which will provide greater confidence in the real time analysis and reporting. The platform will support a more responsive and transparent experience for taxpayers.

As part of its RISE with 麻豆原创 deployment, HMRC will implement 麻豆原创 S/4HANA Cloud, 麻豆原创鈥檚 UK听Sovereign Cloud, 麻豆原创 Business Technology Platform and 麻豆原创 AI Capabilities.

The availability of 麻豆原创鈥檚 UK sovereign cloud capabilities for the majority of its 麻豆原创 solutions provides organisations with localised cloud services tailored to specific requirements, meeting the highest standards of data residency, security and compliance, and creating a secure foundation for future innovation.

鈥淟arge-scale public systems like those delivered by HMRC must operate reliably at national scale while adapting to changing demands鈥, said Leila Romane, Managing Director UKI at 麻豆原创. 鈥淏y modernising one of the UK鈥檚 most important platforms and hosting it on a UK sovereign cloud, we are helping to strengthen the resilience, security and sustainability of critical national infrastructure.鈥

The deal also supports the government鈥檚 broader AI ambitions. Together, 麻豆原创 and HMRC will work on defining new AI capabilities aimed at improving taxpayer experiences, surfacing insights faster, automating processes and enhancing decision-making across tax administration.

麻豆原创 UKI鈥檚 Connect Day for Supply Chain will be hosted in London on 12 March 2026, showcasing the latest innovations in supply chain management software. Register through the link at the end of the article.

Remember when supply chains were sequential, orderly, and easy to follow? Me neither. A network of moving parts is always going to be constantly adapting and evolving, but few of us imagined just how intricate they would become. Today鈥檚 supply chains resemble vast ecosystems of complex, interconnected webs shaped by disruption, global risks, digital acceleration, and relentless sustainability demands. What once felt like a smooth conveyor belt now looks more like a galaxy of moving parts, where resilience, agility, and intelligence are the only ways to stay in orbit.

Supply chains may have evolved into complex ecosystems, but many organisations remain tethered to outdated legacy systems and manual processes. With disruption as the new normal, yesterday鈥檚 tools become today鈥檚 hurdles, slowing response times and blinding businesses to the foresight their customer鈥檚 demand.

Modern supply chain management requires more than incremental improvements. It demands orchestration. That means breaking down silos, automating and digitising processes, and embedding intelligence into every decision.

Those that embrace this level of orchestration are able to balance the delicate equation of delivering the right products at the right cost, and with the right inventory levels. It鈥檚 about moving from reactive management to proactive, intelligent execution. It鈥檚 also why thousands of organisations globally now rely on

It鈥檚 not just software. It鈥檚 a digital cockpit for modern supply chains, enabling leaders to navigate disruption, optimise operations, and chart a course toward sustainable, customer-centric growth.

麻豆原创 Supply Chain Management is engineered for disruption with the ability to ingest, analyse, and act on enterprise data points at massive scale and harmonise them into one trusted foundation. This means every KPI, forecast, and operational decision from shop floor to boardroom is aligned. It automates and integrates all areas of the supply chain from design and planning to manufacturing, delivery and operations on a single, integrated platform that unifies applications and data.

Thanks to AI-driven insights and automation, 麻豆原创 facilitates predictive decision-making, real time inventory management, and intelligent logistics that collectively form autonomous AI-driven supply chains. This evolution not only enhances operational efficiency and responsiveness, but also empowers companies to proactively navigate disruptions, optimise resource utilisation, and support sustainability goals.

And by integrating directly with the ERP layer, 麻豆原创 Supply Chain Management ensures that operational decisions and financial data align, driving efficiency, compliance, and agility. The result is true end-to-end orchestration: real-time visibility, intelligent operations, and the ability to pivot at speed.

Preparing for the next frontier with 麻豆原创

Supply chain leaders today are coordinating complexity against a backdrop of persistent global volatility, charting new courses through uncertainty.

To stay on trajectory, they must anticipate risks, adapt to changing conditions and rely on intelligent systems to keep every mission on track. 麻豆原创 Supply Chain Management provides the mission control that makes this possible.

That鈥檚 why we鈥檙e hosting on 12 March 2026 at Tobacco Dock, London. This one-day experience will explore the four pillars of supply chain excellence: Plan, Make, Deliver, and Operate. Join us for bold conversations, practical insights, and real-world expertise as customers, partners, and 麻豆原创 senior executives come together for peer level exchange.

It鈥檚 your opportunity to connect, share ideas, and gain actionable advice on how intelligent supply chains can thrive in the face of disruption. You鈥檒l hear firsthand insights from leading customers, including Nouryon, PPG, Yorkshire Water, and CocaCola Europacific, while networking with peers and putting your toughest supply chain questions to our experts.

We鈥檙e also joined by British European Space Agency astronaut Tim Peake as guest keynote speaker. His perspective on resilience, agility, and exploration will challenge you to think beyond boundaries and prepare for the next chapter.

The future of supply chain management isn鈥檛 about incremental change. It鈥檚 about breaking free from legacy silos and restrictive processes to embrace intelligent, integrated systems that adapt at the speed of disruption.

Join us in London this March to explore how 麻豆原创 can help you chart your course and set your supply chain on a new trajectory. .

Luke Roche is Head of Supply Chain Management at 麻豆原创 UK & Ireland.
