PT compared system responsiveness and on-device AI performance on AMD Ryzen CPU-powered Dell Pro 14, HP ProBook 4 G1a 14, and Lenovo ThinkPad E14 Gen 7 AI PCs.

ROUND ROCK, TX, UNITED STATES, February 17, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ — Slower, less capable laptops open the door to more stress and less productivity. Investing in AI PCs with higher performing processors can help users get ahead over time. To quantify the performance increases you might see, Principled Technologies (PT) compared the performance of three Windows 11 Pro AI PCs, each equipped with the best AMD Ryzen 5 processor available for that model during testing:

• Dell Pro 14 configured with an AMD Ryzen AI 5 PRO 340 CPU and AMD Radeon 840M GPU
• HP ProBook 4 G1a 14 configured with an AMD Ryzen 5 230 CPU and AMD Radeon 760M GPU
• Lenovo ThinkPad E14 Gen 7 configured with an AMD Ryzen 5 230 CPU and AMD Radeon 760M GPU

PT ran multiple industry-standard benchmarks that measure CPU and NPU performance in order to compare system responsiveness and on-device AI performance.

Then, to explore how higher performance on those benchmarks could improve real-world productivity, PT presented the hands-on testing results through the lens of a hypothetical end-user’s day. Their report introduces their hypothetical user as Nicole: “Nicole is a project manager at a leading consulting firm, responsible for delivering high-impact projects while ensuring alignment with business objectives and stakeholder expectations. Her employer is leveraging AI tools to accelerate everyday activities and her key responsibilities, which include:
• Data collection and preparation, trend analysis, presenting key metrics for stakeholders, and providing actionable recommendations for marketing, pricing, and inventory strategies
• Driving stakeholder satisfaction through clear communication and proactive problem-solving
• Analyzing client data to uncover trends, build models, and prepare persuasive presentations
• Tracking team progress, drafting status reports, checking performance metrics, and creating tailored updates for diverse audiences

For Nicole, constant client interaction is central to success. She invests significant time analyzing data to build compelling cases and actionable insights, then translating those insights into business strategies. Her ultimate goal is to connect day-to-day project execution to client business value and the firm’s strategic objectives.”

In addition to completing day-to-day activities and processing large datasets in less time, PT reveals the ways the Dell Pro 14 can help this hypothetical high producer embrace AI technologies that could streamline manual processes. The report notes, “The superior NPU performance on the Dell Pro 14, compared to the HP and Lenovo AI PCs we tested, means Nicole can rethink a lot of the time-intensive tasks she’s tackled manually in the past. She might want to employ AI tools for faster image and text analysis from scanned documents. Or she might research AI applications that will help her and her clients extract text from images, identify patterns in visual datasets, or validate compliance in visual assets remotely.”

FAQ
1. What challenges does this report address?
Older laptops weren’t built for an AI-forward world. For users relying on slower, less capable PCs, productivity can take a hit. Newer laptops with additional AI capabilities can provide a speed boost that helps workers accomplish more with their time and get ahead in fast-paced environments.

2. What are the key takeaways from the whitepaper?
In hands-on testing by PT, the “Zen 5” AMD Ryzen AI 5 PRO 340 processor-powered Dell Pro 14 Copilot+ PC delivered faster on-device image processing, productivity application performance, and CPU multi-core performance than the “Zen 4” AMD Ryzen 5 230 processor-powered HP ProBook 4 G1a 14 and Lenovo ThinkPad E14 Gen 8 AI PCs. The most significant differences were in speed to complete local AI tasks, which the report attributes in large part to superior NPU performance from the AMD Ryzen AI 5 PRO 340 processor.

3. How can these results benefit end-users and decision-makers?
With faster performance, end-users like Nicole—the hypothetical worker in the report—can complete their everyday work faster and spend more time figuring out her most challenging projects, ultimately increasing her company’s and her team’s productivity. For decision-makers, stronger performance from high performers like Nicole can translate directly into improvements in their bottom line.

4. How did PT conduct testing on the PCs?
PT used a range of benchmarks and testing tools to compare performance for day-to-day tasks, office productivity work, and AI and other resource-intensive workloads. PT uses rigorous testing methodologies to mirror how real users work. Explore the complete methodologies, as well as hardware/software disclosures, at https://facts.pt/42CmbCq.

5. What benchmarks and testing tools did PT use in this report?
To measure performance, PT used industry-standard Cinebench 2024, the Procyon Office Productivity Benchmark, MLPerf Client, Geekbench AI, and Procyon AI Computer Vision benchmarks. PT also used the MobileMark 30 benchmark to assess battery life on the Dell Pro 14.

The acquisition brings Komerz’s global commerce platform and Pathformance’s measurement valued in the hundreds of millions and charting a path to unicorn status

MIAMI, FL, UNITED STATES, February 17, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ — Komerz Ltd., a global commercial growth company operating at the intersection of marketing, commerce, and distribution, announces the acquisition of Pathformance, a leading marketing measurement and attribution firm.

The acquisition values Komerz at $330 million post-deal and marks a significant strategic milestone in the evolution of how brands drive, measure, and scale growth in an increasingly fragmented marketing and commerce ecosystem.

The acquisition brings together Komerz’s end-to-end commerce and market-entry platform with Pathformance’s proven expertise in unified measurement and attribution, creating one of the industry’s most comprehensive, outcome-driven operating models for growth.

Together, the combined entity is designed to help brands with global ambitions move beyond siloed marketing metrics and disconnected execution toward a single, accountable system that directly links marketing investment to revenue impact across digital, retail, and marketplace channels.

As marketers face mounting pressure to justify spend, navigate data fragmentation, and demonstrate tangible commercial outcomes, the integration of Pathformance positions Komerz to deliver a fundamentally different value proposition. Marketing is measured, activated, and optimized within the same commercial system, eliminating the traditional divide between insight and execution.

“Pathformance was built to solve one core problem for marketers: understanding what truly drives incremental growth,” said Elizabeth Johnson, Chief Executive Officer of Pathformance. “Joining Komerz allows us to take that capability to a much broader client base and embed our measurement and attribution expertise directly into commerce execution. Together, we can help brands move from fragmented performance signals to clear, confident decisions that translate into real commercial impact.”

Chris Bedford, Chief Operating Officer of Pathformance, added, “For us, this is about enabling commerce without complexity. Too often, brands are forced to choose between building brand equity and driving performance. With Komerz, we can help brands grow without separating brand from performance, bringing clarity, accountability, and simplicity to how growth is measured and delivered.”

The acquisition significantly strengthens Komerz’s ability to support global and high-growth challenger brands as they expand across borders, channels, and retail environments. Komerz works with leading consumer brands across major categories including FMCG, beverages, electronics, personal care, and lifestyle, helping them accelerate growth through an end-to-end commercial system anchored to measurable results.

“Clients increasingly demand unified, transparent insights that inform smarter marketing and drive commercial impact,” said Siddharth Shankar, Global Chief Operating Officer of Komerz Ltd. “Pathformance’s proven methodology enhances our ability to deliver these insights at scale and with precision. This integration elevates the value we offer by transforming data into decisive action across retail, digital, and marketplace channels. Komerz is building the Commercial Growth O/S for the world’s most ambitious brands.”

Mr. Shankar brings to Komerz a strong track record of building and scaling global commerce platforms, having previously led the growth of a multi-billion-dollar consumer portfolio to a successful exit. At Komerz, he has been instrumental in shaping the company’s Commerce-as-a-Service model, designed to help brands globalize faster by breaking traditional barriers between marketing, distribution, logistics, and measurement.

With this acquisition, Komerz accelerates its ambition to stand alongside the world’s most influential consulting, marketing, and technology firms by offering clients not just strategy or execution, but a fully integrated commercial growth system that is accountable to outcomes.

LONDON, UNITED KINGDOM, February 17, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ — it.com Domains, the global registry redefining how businesses and individuals establish their online presence, today announced that it has acquired the is.art domain zone from .ART Registry, the leading domain registry for the global arts community, and has launched the first stage of the is.art social handle service, designed to give artists and creatives a unified, recognizable digital identity.



The initial release enables users to register personalized is.art domains — such as yourname.is.art—that function as redirect handles, pointing to an existing website or selected social and portfolio platforms. Designed to be simple, accessible, and artist-friendly, this first phase offers artists, students, and creatives an easy way to establish a professional digital identity without the complexity of traditional domain management.

Users can register up to three is.art handles for free, with optional paid handles also available. There are no subscriptions and no renewals. Each handle redirects to one of a curated list of trusted platforms, including major social media, portfolio, and creative app services. While hosting, email, and DNS management are not included at this stage, users can change where their is.art handle points at any time within the supported services.

The launch responds to growing demand within the arts community for flexible and scalable digital identity tools. As online visibility becomes increasingly essential, is.art aims to support creatives in presenting their work clearly and connecting with audiences and opportunities worldwide.

Unlike conventional domains, is.art is purpose-built for artistic use cases. Future phases will introduce additional features optimized for portfolio presentation and creative practice, further expanding how artists and cultural workers can use is.art as part of their digital presence.

Andrey Insarov, CEO of it.com Domains, echoed this enthusiasm, stating, “At it.com Domains, we’ve seen the power of third-level domains in helping businesses and individuals carve out their unique spaces online. We are committed to utilizing the best practices and technological developments we’ve gained from the successful launch of the .it.com domain zone to develop and scale this unique initiative. With the is.art service, we’re excited to bring new opportunities to the artistic community, providing a comprehensive solution that not only includes a distinctive domain name but also a ready-made platform for showcasing their work. We believe this will be a game-changer for aspiring artists and creatives looking to make their mark on the web.”

“.ART has always been committed to providing artists with tools that enhance their visibility and showcase their work in the digital world,” said Ulvi Kasimov, Founder and CEO of .ART. “We are very happy that it.com Domains will bring their expertise and experience to support the next generation of creatives. The is.art initiative is more than just a domain — it is a flexible gateway for artists to establish their digital identity today and grow it further as new tools are introduced.”

The is.art service is designed to be a cost-effective option, particularly appealing to students, emerging artists, and hobbyists who are just starting to build their online presence. By offering this easy handle that redirects to popular artist and social platforms, it.com Domains aims to give creatives a professional, memorable, and accessible digital identity.

New integration connects help desk workflows with automated endpoint actions to save IT teams time and improve reliability

SALT LAKE CITY, UT, UNITED STATES, February 17, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ — PDQ, a leading provider of endpoint management software for IT teams, today announced a new PDQ Connect integration with Freshdesk and Freshservice by Freshworks. Available now for all customers on the PDQ Connect Premium tier, the integration connects IT service management (ITSM) workflows directly with endpoint actions, helping teams resolve issues faster, reduce manual work, and maintain more reliable systems.

By linking Freshworks’ service desk platforms with PDQ Connect’s automated endpoint management capabilities, IT teams can trigger actions like software deployment, remediation, and device updates directly from tickets to bridge the gap between support and operations.

“Help desk tickets don’t exist in a vacuum; they usually point to something that needs to be fixed on an endpoint,” said Mark Littlefield, VP of Product at PDQ. “This integration gives IT teams a practical way to connect tickets to action. Instead of bouncing between tools or relying on manual follow-ups, teams can automate repeatable fixes and keep devices healthy with far less effort.”

Turning tickets into action

With the PDQ Connect and Freshworks integration, IT teams can:

• Trigger endpoint actions from tickets in Freshdesk or Freshservice, reducing handoffs and manual steps
• Automate common remediation workflows, such as deploying software, running scripts, or updating devices
• Improve response times and reliability by resolving issues consistently across affected endpoints
• Reduce tool sprawl by keeping service desk and endpoint management connected but flexible
• Increase visibility for support technicians and sysadmins by pulling essential device metadata for the requesting user straight into the ticket’s sidebar

The integration supports PDQ’s approach to automation: transparent, repeatable workflows that deliver real results fast.

Practical automation

PDQ continues to focus on automation that IT teams can trust and control.

“By integrating PDQ Connect with Freshdesk and Freshservice, we’re giving customers a straightforward way to access and automate their device management capabilities straight from their ticketing solution of choice, because their time and effectiveness is of the essence to us,” said Chris Sandescu, Director of Product Integrations.

The integration also strengthens PDQ’s position in the growing autonomous endpoint management (AEM) category by connecting endpoint automation directly into ITSM workflows, where much of IT’s day-to-day work actually begins.

Available now

The PDQ Connect integration with Freshdesk and Freshservice is available immediately for PDQ Connect Premium customers.

To learn more or see the integration in action, visit pdq.com/pdq-connect. For a deeper look, tune in to PDQ’s weekly webcast on Thursday, February 19 at 10:00 a.m. MT for live demos and real-world automation examples.

About PDQ

PDQ builds IT management tools that are simple, secure, and pretty damn quick. Trusted by system administrators, MSPs, and IT professionals worldwide, PDQ’s suite of autonomous endpoint management (AEM) products like Connect and SmartDeploy streamlines patching, deployment, and vulnerability and endpoint management across Windows and macOS devices. Founded in 2001 and based in Salt Lake City, Utah, PDQ is built for sysadmins, by sysadmins, and trusted by over 33,000 customers.

Ninja Dispatch launches My Ninja Dispatch dashboard, giving fleet operators live visibility into overnight dispatch activity for the first time.

CLEVELAND, OH, UNITED STATES, February 17, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ — Ninja Dispatch, the Cleveland-based managed night dispatch service founded in 2018, has launched My Ninja Dispatch, a real-time client dashboard designed to close the visibility gap between in-house dispatch teams and outsourced night dispatch operations. The dashboard, currently in beta with select clients, gives carriers, freight brokers, and third-party logistics providers a live window into everything happening during their overnight shifts.

The tool was built to address a longstanding problem in the after hours dispatch industry. Trucking companies that keep dispatch in-house have direct oversight of their operations but face rising costs, high turnover, and difficulty staffing overnight shifts. Night dispatcher positions are among the hardest roles to fill in trucking — the undesirable hours lead to frequent turnover, and many carriers cycle through multiple hires before finding a reliable overnight dispatcher. A single in-house night dispatcher can cost upward of $50,000 per year in salary alone, before factoring in benefits, office space, equipment, and the cost of replacing that dispatcher when they leave. Companies that outsource gain cost efficiency but often lose visibility into what happens between evening close and morning open. My Ninja Dispatch is designed to deliver both — the transparency and control of an in-house team combined with the cost structure and reliability of a managed service.

“When a trucking company hands us their night shift, they are trusting us with their drivers, their freight, and their client relationships,” said Teodor Stroie, founder of Ninja Dispatch. “The dashboard exists so that trust is backed by full transparency. Our clients can see every check call, every load update, every exception that was flagged, and how it was resolved — the same visibility they would have if they were sitting in the office at 2 AM.”

Through the My Ninja Dispatch portal, fleet operators can view driver status updates, load tracking, broker and customer communications, exception alerts, and shift passdown reports. The dashboard provides a complete record of overnight dispatch activity so that morning teams can pick up exactly where the night shift left off, with no gaps in communication and no surprises.

Ninja Dispatch builds a customized dispatch operation for each client rather than applying a one-size-fits-all model. The onboarding process begins with a shadowing period during which the Ninja Dispatch team observes and documents each client’s unique workflows, communication standards, and operational priorities. From there, the company develops a tailored standard operating procedure and integrates directly with the client’s existing technology stack, including leading TMS platforms such as McLeod, TMW, and Tai, and ELD and fleet management systems including Samsara, Motive, and KeepTruckin. Depending on the client’s needs, managed overnight coverage can include load tracking, exception and delay monitoring, ELD and HOS compliance checks, driver communication, broker and customer updates, appointment scheduling, TMS data entry, portal maintenance, shift passdown reporting, and detention and accessorial documentation.

The company also offers what it calls the Ninja Guarantee: every shift is covered with no vacation or PTO gaps, any dispatcher who is not the right fit is replaced immediately, and a dedicated shift manager oversees every shift at no additional cost.

Ninja Dispatch operates from offices in Cleveland, Ohio and Bucharest, Romania, using the eight-hour time zone difference to staff American overnight shifts with dispatchers working during standard daytime business hours in Europe. When it is midnight on the East Coast, it is 7 AM in Bucharest — meaning Ninja Dispatch’s overnight team is starting a normal workday, fully rested and alert, rather than working a graveyard shift. All dispatchers complete a three-month training program before working directly with client accounts.

Ninja Dispatch has provided after hours dispatch services to more than 100 U.S. trucking fleets since 2018 and was voted the number one dispatching company by FreightWaves, a leading freight industry publication. The My Ninja Dispatch dashboard is currently available to clients in the beta program, with a broader rollout planned for 2026.

InSource Solutions Group Announces Acquisition of AVEVA Select California, Expanding Its Reach to Become the Largest AVEVA Select Partner in the Americas

RICHMOND, VA, UNITED STATES, February 17, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ — InSource Solutions Group, a leading provider of industrial automation software, services, and support, today announced the acquisition of AVEVA Select California, the exclusive AVEVA sales, support, and training organization serving the California region, from E&M Electric and Machinery, Inc. This strategic transaction expands InSource’s geographic footprint to the West Coast and strengthens its expertise across key industries including water and wastewater, technology, and broader process manufacturing verticals.

Since 1990, AVEVA Select California has helped clients architect, deploy, maintain, and grow industrial software systems across diverse manufacturing and infrastructure environments. The organization brings deep expertise in AVEVA’s HMI, SCADA, MES, historian, and industrial information management solutions, as well as a strong reputation for high quality training and technical support.

The acquisition builds on InSource Solutions Group’s 2025 expansion, when InSource Software Solutions, Cimsoft, and GS PlantOptics united to form the second largest AVEVA Select provider in the Americas. Those organizations brought together strong regional leadership and industry specific technical expertise across the Southeast U.S., Eastern Canada, and the Upper Midwest. The addition of AVEVA Select California now extends that reach even further, creating the largest AVEVA Select Partner organization across North America.

A Strategic Move to Serve a Broader Client Base

“This acquisition reflects our commitment to expand and diversify our capabilities to meet the evolving needs of industrial clients across the Americas,” said Rob Bansek, Chief Executive Officer of InSource Solutions Group. “AVEVA Select California brings a long standing legacy of excellence, industry depth, and client centric service. Their reputation in water, wastewater, and process manufacturing, combined with their team’s technical strength, makes them an ideal fit for our growing organization.”

With this move, InSource Solutions Group gains geographic expansion into the West Coast, now serving clients coast to coast. The addition brings enhanced water and wastewater expertise supported by AVEVA Select California’s strong history in municipal and utility applications. The acquisition also adds broader technology and process manufacturing capabilities, industry leading training and client success programs including concierge, on site, and virtual delivery through a well established education services platform, and a nationwide team of AVEVA certified experts with deep knowledge across critical infrastructure, advanced manufacturing, and digital operations.

Expanding a Growing AVEVA Ecosystem

AVEVA Select California’s integration further strengthens InSource Solutions Group’s ability to support clients across the full AVEVA software portfolio from design and engineering to operations control, asset performance management, and enterprise information systems. The acquisition also expands access to thousands of AVEVA integration partners worldwide, enabling clients to accelerate digital transformation at scale.

Continuity for Clients and Partners

AVEVA Select California clients will continue receiving the same regional expertise and trusted support they rely on, now backed by a larger, unified InSource Solutions Group team spanning North America. Together, the combined organization will deliver expanded solutions, deeper technical resources, and enhanced service capabilities.
