  • Worksoft Previews Connective Automation Platform 2026, Advancing Intelligent, Impact-Driven Enterprise Testing

    The 2026 Worksoft release embeds AI across change intelligence adaptive automation and insights to help teams reduce risk and deliver transformation confidently

    Enterprise change doesn’t fail because teams lack automation. It fails because they lack clarity,”
    — Matt Schwartz, Chief Executive Officer at Worksoft

    ADDISON, TX, UNITED STATES, February 18, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ — Worksoft, a leader in AI-driven test automation for business applications, today announced the public preview of Worksoft Connective Automation Platform 2026, with general availability planned for March 2026.

    The 2026 release marks a shift in how enterprises approach testing during large-scale change. Rather than focusing solely on executing more tests, Worksoft 2026 enables teams to focus test efforts on change, adapt automation as applications evolve, and better understand the risk and root cause behind test outcomes.

    As organizations accelerate initiatives across SAP and other mission-critical systems, traditional test automation struggles to keep pace with the volume and interdependence of change. Worksoft 2026 addresses this challenge by embedding AI across impact analysis, execution, adaptation, and explanation, connecting business change directly to testing decisions and outcomes at enterprise scale.

    “Enterprise change doesn’t fail because teams lack automation. It fails because they lack clarity,” said Matt Schwartz, Chief Executive Officer at Worksoft. “With the Worksoft Connective Automation Platform 2026, we help organizations understand the impact of change, adapt their automation as applications evolve, and quickly explain what went wrong when issues occur. This is about delivering change with confidence, not just running more tests.”

    Together, these capabilities establish a more connected approach to testing, moving from static execution toward intelligent decisioning, adaptation, and explanation at scale.

    Impact-Driven Testing, Built for Enterprise Scale

    At the core of Worksoft 2026 is impact-driven testing, which enables organizations to automatically trigger the right tests based on change analysis instead of relying on static test suites. By linking Worksoft Impact directly with execution, teams can focus testing effort where risk is introduced, reduce unnecessary regression cycles, and move releases forward with greater confidence.

    The platform also introduces AI-powered root cause analysis and natural-language summaries, further strengthening this approach. These capabilities enable teams to diagnose failures and interpret results without lengthy manual investigation. Designed for enterprise trust, the insights are delivered using on-premises AI models and are directly tied to execution and change context.

    Adaptive Automation That Learns as Applications Change

    Worksoft 2026 expands the platform’s self-healing capabilities, allowing automation to adapt to application changes without re-authoring existing test assets. This reduces maintenance effort while preserving long-term automation investments. The release also strengthens end-to-end process testing through enhanced multi-application support. Improved visibility across SAP and non-SAP systems enables teams to validate complete business workflows rather than isolated applications.

    Enterprise-Ready Modernization and Integrations

    To support the most demanding enterprise environments, Worksoft 2026 includes platform enhancements focused on performance, scalability, and security. Improvements span test execution reliability, reporting services, fault tolerance, and infrastructure modernization.

    The release also expands integrations across the enterprise toolchain, including updates to SAP Solution Manager, SAP Cloud ALM, Jenkins, Xray, and Jira. These integrations help teams embed impact-driven testing more seamlessly into existing DevOps and ALM workflows.

    “The 2026 release reflects how our customers actually operate today, across multiple applications, continuous change, and high expectations for quality,” said Aftab Alam, Chief Product Officer at Worksoft. “By connecting impact, execution, and insight in a single platform, we are enabling a more resilient and scalable approach to enterprise testing.”

    Availability

    Worksoft Connective Automation Platform 2026 is planned for general availability in March 2026. This announcement represents the first disclosure of the upcoming release, providing customers and partners with early visibility into what’s coming next. Existing Worksoft customers can request early access to Worksoft 2026 through the Customer Playground ahead of general availability by visiting www.worksoft.com/2026.

    Artefact and ICT launch ImpactIQ™, ICT’s proprietary AI-powered takeoff platform that streamlines estimating and supports higher-value client engagement

    Co-creating a solution that combines ICT’s industry data and expertise with advanced AI capabilities transformed a bottleneck into a scalable platform that delivers immediate business value.”
    — Abdul Zamerli, Senior Partner, AI & Strategy at Artefact

    NEW YORK, PA, UNITED STATES, February 18, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ — Artefact, the global leader in designing data and AI solutions to positively impact people and organizations, announced a strategic collaboration with Impact Climate Technologies (ICT), one of the most prominent and influential distributors in the commercial HVAC industry, to launch ImpactIQ™, a proprietary, end-to-end AI platform developed exclusively for ICT.

    Purpose-built to streamline and modernize the pricing and bidding process, ImpactIQ™ automates takeoff generation during the earliest stages of construction projects, historically one of the most time-intensive and capacity-constraining phases of HVAC estimating. The platform is being deployed within ICT’s operations, supporting internal estimating and pricing workflows, enabling faster bid turnaround and greater consistency while allowing teams to focus on delivering the right solutions for the right clients.

    ImpactIQ™ was co-developed through close collaboration between Artefact and ICT, bringing together Artefact’s deep data science and AI engineering capabilities with ICT’s operational expertise. ICT played a central role in defining requirements, shaping workflows, and guiding system design.

    Unlike off-the-shelf automation tools, the platform was architected specifically around ICT’s operational standards, growth strategy, and commitment to improving service, responsiveness, and long-term value for clients.

    As a market-leading commercial HVAC distributor, ICT was uniquely positioned to contribute thousands of proprietary data points drawn from decades of completed projects and estimating history across its network. This depth and scale of real-world data enabled the AI models underlying ImpactIQ™ to be trained on authentic industry conditions, symbol standards, and project complexity, resulting in higher accuracy, greater consistency, and increased confidence among estimating teams.

    “From the outset, this engagement was about building something truly differentiated for ICT,” said Abdul Zamerli, Senior Partner, AI & Strategy at Artefact. “By co-creating a solution that combines ICT’s unmatched industry data and operational expertise with advanced AI capabilities, we transformed a manual bottleneck into a scalable, proprietary platform that delivers immediate business value and long-term competitive advantage.”

    “ImpactIQ™ represents how we think about innovation at ICT,” said John Moon, CEO of Impact Climate Technologies. “We are constantly looking for ways to streamline our processes so our teams can focus on what matters most, delivering smarter solutions and better service to our clients. By working closely with Artefact to design a platform tailored specifically to our business, we’ve created a proprietary capability that strengthens our operations today and positions us for continued growth in the future.”

    Prior to partnering with Artefact, ICT relied on a largely manual takeoff process that limited the number of projects estimators could support. Today, ImpactIQ™ enables faster, more consistent pricing while freeing teams to spend more time collaborating with clients, providing real-time support, and delivering higher-value advisory services.

    ImpactIQ™ combines advanced image recognition, blueprint intelligence, and generative AI to streamline HVAC construction bidding. Core capabilities include:

    • AI-driven symbol and label detection: Image recognition models trained on ICT’s proprietary data detect and count HVAC symbols across complex blueprint PDFs with speed and precision.
    • Blueprint intelligence and GenAI “chat with blueprint”: Automated segmentation of specifications, schedules, and notes, with the ability to query technical and scope details directly from drawings.
    • End-to-end workflow integration: Seamless deployment within ICT’s existing business systems to drive adoption, operational efficiency, and real-time responsiveness.

    Looking ahead, ICT has active plans to expand ImpactIQ™ through ongoing upgrades and additional capabilities, extending the platform’s scope to support broader estimating, project intelligence, and client-facing use cases, reinforcing ICT’s commitment to continuous improvement and investment in proprietary technology that streamlines operations while strengthening client relationships.

    This strategic collaboration underscores Artefact’s ability to deliver AI solutions that generate tangible, measurable business impact, and ICT’s continued industry leadership.

    For Artefact, this collaboration demonstrates how co-created, industry-specific AI platforms can drive durable impact when built around real operational needs.

  • The Keyes Family of Companies Debuts Unified Digital Experience for Agents, Homebuyers, Sellers with Delta Media Group

    Keyes and Illustrated Properties launch a unified AI-ready digital platform with Delta Media to streamline marketing, training and home search.

    By teaming with Delta Media Group and Tiny Wins, we were able to create dynamic digital platforms that reflect who we are as an organization.”
    — Christina Pappas, The Keyes Company and Illustrated Properties.

    MIAMI, FL, UNITED STATES, February 18, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ — The Keyes Company and Illustrated Properties today announced the launch of unified, AI-ready digital platforms designed to deliver faster, more personalized experiences for South Florida homebuyers and sellers, while streamlining marketing and operations across their combined network of more than 4,000 real estate professionals.

    Developed in partnership with Delta Media Group, the platforms move beyond a traditional website refresh by bringing consumer websites, agent marketing, training, and backend brokerage operations into a single connected ecosystem. The result is a more seamless experience for buyers, sellers, and agents alike—from first search to closing—while reducing tool sprawl across the organization.

    The new platforms, built on DeltaNET® 7, Delta Media Group’s enterprise real estate technology, were designed around the needs of today’s buyers and sellers for faster search experiences, more intuitive property discovery, clearer listing information, and easier connections to local experts.
    Behind the scenes, the unified system streamlines marketing, operations, and training so agents can focus on serving customers rather than managing disconnected tools, all in one digital environment designed to support ongoing AI integration.

    The project was developed through close collaboration between Delta Media, The Keyes Company, Illustrated Properties, and contracted website design agency, Tiny Wins. “Keyes and Illustrated had a very clear vision for how these platforms needed to work seamlessly across both organizations, for today and tomorrow,” said Michael Minard, CEO of Delta Media Group.

    “Our role was to support that vision within our DeltaNET ecosystem to deliver a highly advanced, AI-ready platform flexible enough to reflect their DNA while operating at enterprise scale.

    Expanded Digital Experiences for Buyers and Sellers
    The rollout includes refreshed public-facing brokerage and commercial websites, enhanced home search tools, and streamlined pathways for buyers and sellers to access neighborhood insights, market data, and direct communication with trusted local agents.

    Single Platform Benefits Consumers
    By consolidating multiple systems into one unified environment built on DeltaNET, Keyes and Illustrated can deliver more consistent information, faster updates, and smoother communication across offices and markets. For buyers and sellers, that means fewer delays, more accurate listings, and a more seamless experience from search through closing.

    Fresh Listings and Increased Visibility
    A new drag-and-drop website and email marketing builders were introduced to improve usability, speed, localization, and scalability across offices and agents. The upgraded infrastructure allows listings, property updates, and local market content to be published more quickly and consistently across digital channels. That speed helps ensure buyers see the most current information available, while sellers benefit from broader and more coordinated exposure.

    Training and agent enablement through DeltaNET Academy
    To support the rollout, Keyes Academy provides structured training to ensure agents are fully equipped to leverage the new tools, reinforcing the company’s commitment to professionalism, responsiveness, and service excellence for customers across South Florida.

    Looking Ahead
    With the new digital platforms in place, the Keyes Family of Companies is delivering a more connected experience for buyers and sellers, one that blends nearly a century of local market expertise with modern, data-driven tools. From smarter property discovery to more responsive communication, the focus remains clear: making real estate transactions simpler, faster, and more transparent.

    “Keyes and Illustrated Properties rollout brings websites, marketing, training, and office-level management into one advanced ecosystem,” Minard said. “It also creates a foundation that can support future capabilities as it is ready to integrate the rapidly changing AI advancements that are coming.”

    About The Keyes Family of Companies

  • MRT Performance Releases New Cat-Back Exhaust for Ford Explorer ST

    Get a True Performance Sound from Your Explorer ST without Sacrificing the Comfort in Daily Driving

    Sometimes you just don’t want an always-present, take-no-prisoners exhaust that everyone notices, but you DO want performance sound, louder than stock and on-demand, refined performance. This is it.”
    — Scott Hoag, CEO of MRT Performance

    PLYMOUTH, MI, UNITED STATES, February 18, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ — MRT Performance has introduced a new exhaust option for 2020 and newer Ford Explorer ST owners: the Elite Series Cat-Back Exhaust. The Plymouth, Michigan company says the system is designed for drivers who want noticeably louder exhaust sound under hard acceleration without the constant drone that often accompanies aftermarket performance exhausts — a combination that has historically been difficult to achieve in a single system.

    The new offering adds to MRT’s existing Explorer ST exhaust lineup and represents the company’s attempt to address a common complaint among performance SUV owners: that most aftermarket exhaust options force a choice between aggressive sound that becomes tiresome on long drives and tamer systems that don’t deliver much character at wide-open throttle.

    Acoustic Engineering Approach

    MRT developed the Elite Series in partnership with Pro Sound Innovation, an acoustic engineering firm. The collaboration centered on muffler design, with the stated goal of managing resonance frequencies to keep interior and exterior sound levels relatively subdued during normal driving while allowing a more aggressive exhaust note when the engine is under load.

    “Sometimes you just don’t want an always-present, take-no-prisoners exhaust that everyone notices, but you DO want performance sound, louder than stock and on-demand, refined performance,” said Scott Hoag of MRT Engineering. “MRT collaborated with Pro Sound Innovation to bring a unique muffler design and sound only available on MRT premium exhaust systems. The 2020+ Explorer ST Elite Series has achieved the perfect blend of performance AND performance sound for the ultimate experience.”

    According to MRT, the muffler design achieves its sound profile while keeping package dimensions compact — a practical consideration given the space constraints of an SUV chassis. The system also reduces interior resonance tones, a frequent criticism of aftermarket exhaust systems that can make highway driving fatiguing over time.

    Construction and Specifications

    The exhaust system is built specifically for the Explorer ST’s 3.0L V6 EcoBoost engine and uses T304 stainless steel construction throughout. Tubing measures 2.5 inches in diameter and is CNC mandrel-bent, a process that maintains a consistent internal diameter through bends rather than crimping the tubing, which can restrict flow. This approach minimizes back pressure and exits through a dual rear configuration with quad 4-inch polished tips, combining form and function.

    In terms of sound character, MRT positions the Elite Series between their existing Sport Touring and Extreme sound series. The company says it delivers a tone closer to the Extreme series in character — more aggressive under acceleration — while measuring lower in overall loudness than either. How that translates in practice will likely vary depending on driver expectations and sensitivity to exhaust sound.

    Manufacturing and Warranty

    All Elite Series components are designed, engineered, and assembled in the United States at MRT’s Plymouth, Michigan facility. The system is backed by MRT’s limited lifetime warranty, consistent with the rest of their exhaust product line.

    Availability and Future Applications

    The Elite Series technology first appeared in MRT’s lineup on the Explorer ST platform before being extended to 2021 and newer Ford Bronco applications. The company has indicated that a Ford Maverick version is in development, suggesting a broader rollout across Ford’s performance-oriented truck and SUV lineup is planned.

    Sound recordings of the system — including drive-by audio, interior microphone captures, and exterior recordings — are available on MRT’s YouTube channel for buyers who want to evaluate the exhaust note before purchasing.

    The Explorer ST Elite Series Cat-Back Exhaust is available now through MRT’s website at shopmrt.com. The company can also be reached by phone at (734) 455-5807, and their full exhaust catalog covers Ford, Chevrolet, Dodge, RAM, Jeep, and several other platforms.
