Am I reading this correct? Am I just stupid? We spent however much money developing Aviator so we can provide agentic AI to companies because we're like an AI company (allegedly) right?? So why are we now partnering with an AI company to bring secure data to governments and all of the sudden bringing only data to the table?? Wasn't the whole point being building AI agents that conform to whatever standards is needed so governments can use them? Now we're just the data source for the AI agent that can be changed at will.

Also, ok sure we have products that this makes sense for. But what about the rest of the products? What about Microfocus products? What data can we provide from for ex. ITOM to feed into agentic AI? A bunch of our products dont even fit the bill here. So where do they fit in the AI data future?

Dozens of reserve firefighters in South Tucson received termination notices via email. This action follows the city's decision to partner with Rural Metro for fire services. Some affected employees expressed feelings of deception, stating they were not directly informed of the changes. The transition meant these part-time firefighters, who relied on the income, lost their positions with little notice. The city maintains the department's branding will remain the same despite the operational shift.

So who are we not buying or partnering with?

Does anyone know how the BAC partnership with the India finance company benefit us?

Here is what Mutual of America should expect from the new strategic partnership with Accenture. First hand accounts from employees at TIAA from the Layoff board. Time to buckle up.

“Accenture gained entry into Tiaa because Tiaa had a recent history of not delivering projects or delivering them late. Accenture claimed they could do it better. Tiaa viewed all there people as easily replaceable commodities and let vast amounts of business knowledge exit the door. Accenture didn’t have the expertise to replace these people and tried to utilize cheap unshored labor with little knowledge of the systems. It hasn’t worked. It was advertised that Accenture would introduce new tools but in reality Accenture hasn’t introduced new tools. At the same time architecture people like little bothwell through his arrogance and lack of knowledge thought they could easily replaceable reliable systems. They have found that it’s not that easy as they thought”

Why just wait, let’s act! Crown Castle’s nationwide portfolio of communications infrastructure provides an ideal platform to accelerate Starlink’s vision of a hybrid satellite and terrestrial network. By integrating Starlink equipment and direct-to-cell technology at select Crown Castle sites, SpaceX could rapidly expand coverage, reduce deployment costs, and improve resilience without the time and capital required to build an entirely new terrestrial footprint.

For Crown Castle, the partnership would create a new source of long-term infrastructure demand as wireless networks evolve beyond traditional macro towers. Instead of viewing satellite connectivity as a competitive threat, Crown Castle could position itself as the preferred infrastructure partner for next-generation hybrid communications.

Together, the companies could:

• Extend reliable connectivity into rural and underserved communities.
• Strengthen emergency and disaster-response communications.
• Reduce cellular dead zones through integrated satellite and terrestrial coverage.
• Accelerate deployment of direct-to-cell services using existing infrastructure.
• Create a scalable model for the future of global wireless connectivity.

A partnership would allow each company to leverage its core strengths: Starlink’s advanced satellite network and Crown Castle’s extensive terrestrial infrastructure. The result could be a faster, more cost-effective path to building a truly seamless communications network than either company could achieve independently.

We don’t want to wither away right? Can someone please get this going - both in Texas it makes sense!

This agreement will be signed soon - you heard it here. BR sources are a lock 🔒

I knew they were going to do this!

Rumors have spreading for a bit now.
Some people are saying that they are “trimming the fat in SMB”
“shifting more towards a Partner model”
“Micro moving back to TFB”

What’s the word?

Now we know what is in the future for North America's workers.

Shell has first mover advantage by selling non operated Nakika asset. This simplifies the company significantly and creates capital and capacity where it’s needed. Now BP will have Talos as a partner. Talos going to learn the hard way how slow and complex BP really operates.
Why didn’t BP sale when they had a chance?

Today I got an email of a mandatory meeting, there is a new partnership for customer service, and if you check the news it's Hexaware, which is a company that is known for replacing staff for AI. I'm not surprised due to hiring issues but makes sense why no one has been replaced yet.

Buckle up

Chevron signs 20-year power agreement with Microsoft for West Texas data center
HOUSTON, June 22, 2026 — Chevron Corporation (NYSE: CVX) today announced that Energy Forge One LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary, has signed an agreement with Microsoft Corp. (NASDAQ: MSFT) to develop a co-located power facility in West Texas that will provide dedicated electricity to a Microsoft-operated data center under a 20-year power purchase agreement. Chevron and Engine No. 1 have been collaborating on the development, known as Project Kilby (“Kilby”).

Kilby is expected to deliver approximately 2.67 gigawatts of capacity, built through a phased, modular approach that enables incremental expansion over time. A majority of the generation will come from large GE Vernova (NYSE: GEV) turbines and associated electrical infrastructure, with additional capacity provided by Solar Turbines, a wholly owned subsidiary of Caterpillar Inc. (NYSE: CAT). This positions Kilby among the largest co-located natural gas power and data center developments in the U.S., supporting the next phase of American AI growth by leveraging America’s natural gas advantage.

Is this Invest Cloud partnership in Wealth all smoke and mirrors? Is wealth being sold to Invest Cloud?

nearly two years in now, I've heard there have been many problems. Can someone elaborate on why this is going sideways

I see we just farmed out 10% of our Trinidad block to Oxy. I have wondered for a long time what the point of this and OBO is. I understand the idea of risk sharing but how are we supposed to have better returns than our competitors when so many of the projects we do are with them? Wouldn’t it be better for us to do 100% out own projects?

Oh baby, on the road to new beginnings. "Better than taking the extra step"

Oakland City University initially planned to close. Officials reportedly informed some employees of this decision. Less than two hours later, the university reversed course. OCU announced it will now remain open. This is due to a pending "strategic partnership."

Buckle up! Now tell us Frontier’s clan didn’t come over for any other reason but to help secure the sale. The writing has been on the wall.

If you had to guess how the negotiations went down, you might imagine something like this: BNY Mellon strolling into town with the confidence of a Fortune 500 landlord who knows exactly how many jobs, leases, and tax dollars the state would prefer not to lose. And poor Gov. Shapiro — or rather, the Office of the Governor — suddenly finding itself in the awkward position of “strategically cooperating” while BNY casually unrolls a PowerPoint titled “Incentives We Expect, In the Spirit of Partnership.”

Because let’s be honest:
BNY Mellon didn’t walk into that meeting hoping for tax credits.
They walked in expecting them — the way a cat expects you to move when it wants your chair.
So yes, it’s entirely plausible that the conversation included a polite but unmistakable corporate nudge along the lines of:

“It would be a shame if all these jobs… relocated themselves to Pune.”

And voilà — multi‑year tax credits, workforce incentives, and a fresh coat of paint for Ross Street magically appear.

BNY wasn’t negotiating.
They were playing political hardball with home‑field advantage, a loaded bench, and the scoreboard operator already on their payroll.

In the end, the state got to announce “investment in local jobs,” BNY got its incentives, and everyone pretended this was a balanced partnership rather than a masterclass in corporate leverage. RV's smile says it all! #Life@BNY

Verizon deal ?

ANSWER (from the transition paperwork)

Cognizant has partnered with FIS in part for its talented resources—-you! As looking for other opportunities within FIS could impact our partnership and service delivery, both Cognizant and FIS have agreed to discourage associates from this practice once offered employment with Cognizant.

Atlassian cutting 10%. $ for F1 sponsorship, pink slips for the workforce, perfect partnership for us. So how’s that new BNY / Atlassian merch selling?

Money is tight though, right Bandy the Bandit?

What are your thoughts on our partnership with NVDIA? does this have a potential to put is in a position where we finally get some growth. Honestly , I think the most of our problems stem from the fact that our growth is su-ky and maybe we can catch some of this ai pixie dust to help with that...

thoughts?????

“Ford Motor Co. and China’s Geely Auto are in discussions about a potential partnership, eight people with knowledge of the ongoing talks said, as the world's carmakers look to share heavier technology and manufacturing costs.”

So, the Chinese can do better in Europe than Ford ever did. Not winning…

With Savinays departure, what happens to all the all glitz, glam and promise made during OTW? Databricks partnership is dead on arrival ?
