Why high-growth companies should build decision cultures

The organizations that get the most from agentic AI will be those that understand the threat model clearly enough to design against it.

For years, meeting room technology was evaluated primarily on ease of use and audiovisual quality. If people could walk in, plug in, and start presenting, the job was considered done. That mindset no longer holds. Today’s meeting rooms are deeply connected to digital environments, and security has become a business-critical concern rather than a technical afterthought.  According to IDC, 50.8% of organizations now rank security as the most important factor when selecting collaboration and videoconferencing technology, ahead of price or quality considerations. That shift reflects a broader reality: what happens in meeting rooms has direct implications for data protection, regulatory compliance, operational resilience, and corporate trust.  The meeting room as an expanded attack surface  Hybrid work has fundamentally changed the role of the meeting room. It is no longer a closed, isolated space. Instead, it has become a convergence point where corporate networks, cloud services, collabor

The way organizations support collaboration today still varies widely from space to space. Small huddle rooms, project spaces, and large boardrooms often come with different setups, different workflows, and different expectations.  For employees, that inconsistency creates friction. For IT teams, it creates complexity. And for organizations, it quietly undermines the promise of hybrid work.  What’s becoming clear is that the meeting room is no longer just a physical space. It is where hybrid work either flows or fails.  Meetings remain the backbone of collaboration  Despite new ways of working, meetings remain central to how teams align, make decisions, and move projects forward. People come to the office not to sit behind individual screens, but to connect, co‑create, and build momentum together.   In a hybrid reality, those moments increasingly involve a mix of in‑room and remote participants.  That places a new kind of pressure on meeting spaces. They must support different group si

Hybrid work has settled into everyday reality, but the technology that supports it is still catching up. As collaboration becomes more distributed, organizations are reassessing how meeting spaces, digital tools, and infrastructure actually support the way people work. What’s emerging is a shift from fragmented solutions toward more intentional, integrated collaboration environments that are designed to perform, scale, and adapt over time.  Three trends in collaboration technology stand out. Meeting rooms are becoming fully integrated IT assets. Artificial intelligence is shifting from promise to practical necessity. And sustainability is returning as a strategic priority, grounded in data and long-term efficiency. Together, these forces are redefining how collaboration technology is designed, deployed, and evaluated.  Meeting rooms become managed digital environments  Meeting spaces have evolved from static rooms into active, connected environments. In hybrid organizations, they are w

AI is delivering real value—but only for a select few. Most organizations are still experimenting without meaningful impact.

Artificial intelligence is moving quickly in the enterprise, from experimentation to everyday use. Organizations are deploying copilots, agents, and predictive systems across finance, supply chains, human resources, and customer operations. By the end of 2025, half of companies used AI in at least three business functions, according to a recent survey. But as AI becomes…

As AI agents increasingly work alongside humans across organizations, companies could be inadvertently opening a new attack surface. Insecure agents can be manipulated to access sensitive systems and proprietary data, increasing enterprise risk. In some modern enterprises, non-human identities (NHI) are outpacing human identities, and that trend will explode with agentic AI. Solid governance and…

Turning data into real decisions takes the right mix of technology, industry expertise and execution. Often, it’s partnerships that make the difference. Our partners play a critical role in helping organizations turn data into trusted decisions. In a milestone 50th anniversary year for SAS, it’s especially meaningful to celebrate the [...] The post Meet the 2026 SAS Global Partner Award Winners appeared first on SAS Blogs.
