Last night we had an incredible time hosting AHEAD's, "Unpack the AHEAD Power of Four for Intelligent IT Ops," event in our New York City office. A big thank you to our sponsors - Dynatrace, Tanium, and ServiceNow for partnering with us on such a great evening and helping make the event a success. A big thank you to Joseph Masi for leading the conversation and serving as such a strong presenter around our Power of Four messaging. It was great to bring customers together for meaningful conversations around intelligent IT operations. We made the evening even more memorable with an exclusive Away luggage shopping experience for all of our customers. A warm, late spring night on the terrace of our AHEAD's NYC office never hurts either 🙂. Thank you to everyone who joined us in NYC and for all of the support from our local AHEAD team - we loved having you there. Benjamin Salomon Rich Falcone Anthony Chianese Anthony Bucello Dipen V.

Everyone wants to talk about AI. But nobody seems to want to talk about the storage strategy that makes AI possible. That's exactly why Microsoft's first Strategic Azure Storage Services Partner designation matters. Microsoft doesn't hand out "first" very often and we're proud to carry that forward. Honored to author this blog on AHEAD becoming Microsoft's first Strategic Azure Storage Services Partner. The future may be AI, but the foundation is still built on storage. https://lnkd.in/gnXvub3B #Azure #AzureStorage #AI #CloudComputing #DataManagement #MicrosoftAzure cc: AHEAD Microsoft

AHEAD has partnered with Cursor to help enterprises reimagine software delivery for the AI era. Cursor is redefining how software gets built. The real challenge for enterprises is not access to the tool. It is scaling AI-native engineering across teams, workflows, and the entire organization. That is exactly what we are built to solve together. As AHEAD CTO Eric Kaplan puts it: "Our collaboration with Cursor is about helping clients move from adoption to transformation."

Knowledge 2026 signaled a shift. With Otto and AI Control Tower, ServiceNow is moving enterprise AI from assistance to execution, with the governance, observability, and identity controls to scale it responsibly. AHEAD's take: the real currency of enterprise AI isn't speed. It's confidence. Confidence that agent actions follow policy, decisions can be explained, and autonomy can grow without adding chaos. The organizations that capture the upside won't be the ones flipping on features first. They'll be the ones wiring AI into telemetry, workflow, governance, and identity so it holds up under real enterprise conditions.

IT operations are at an inflection point. Downtime is expensive. Talent costs are rising. Brittle services slow the business. Our new whitepaper shows how Autonomous Service Operations help organizations improve resilience, productivity, and cost at the same time. ➤ AI agents handle routine work end to end ➤ Analysts focus on decisions, not ticket chasing ➤ Systems get better with every interaction Built on ServiceNow + your #observability stack, it is a practical path from pilot mode to measurable business impact.

Thrilled to congratulate CMC on their ServiceNow go live this week! A big thank you to the CMC team for their trust in AHEAD throughout this journey, and to our partner team at ServiceNow for the collaboration that helped bring it across the finish line. Go live days are never just about the switch getting flipped. They are about the people in the room, the all-day working sessions on day one, the problem solving, the partnership, and yes, the infamous go live cake. Great to celebrate together over dinner afterwards and recognize what this team accomplished together. Proud to be part of it and excited for what CMC does next with ServiceNow. And one last big THANK YOU to our AHEAD Delivery team, you deliver on the promises we make to our customers. #AHEAD #ServiceNow #DigitalTransformation #GoLive #Partnership Glenn A.
