GFT Acquires SAP Specialist Megawork to Accelerate Strategic Growth
With this acquisition, GFT formally enters the SAP ecosystem – built around one of the most influential software companies worldwide. The move paves the way for GFT to offer a comprehensive SAP portfolio, supported by its GenAI product Wynxx to help accelerate and streamline SAP transformations. This offering will include implementation, upgrades, migrations, and ongoing support, while also embedding its next-generation AI capabilities to help clients navigate the evolving SAP landscape, particularly around SAP Cloud ERP.
'This deal reflects our ambition to scale into high-margin, high-value added services with SAP, one of the world's most recognized ISVs,' said Marco Santos, Global CEO of GFT. 'Megawork's SAP expertise, combined with GFT's leadership in cloud and AI, forms a powerful growth engine for the future. We want to massively improve the efficiency of SAP migrations, upgrades and implementation projects by 40 percent or more with our leading GenAI Product Wynxx. It's a natural next step as we continue to go beyond traditional transformation and deliver real business impact.'
'For everyone at Megawork and all our clients, this marks an exciting new chapter,' said Alexandro Carvalho, CEO of Megawork. 'Megawork becoming part of GFT gives our clients access to a global talent pool, cutting-edge innovation, and a broader set of capabilities to support their digital transformation journeys – regarding their SAP projects and beyond. We see a strong cultural and strategic fit, and this will strengthen our ability to deliver even greater value to our clients.'
GFT is acquiring Megawork in an all-cash transaction, fully financed from existing funds, from the company's founders. The current leadership team are staying on to ensure continuity and a smooth transition.
The acquisition advances GFT's five-year strategy. It accelerates the company's growth by opening new industry verticals – especially in manufacturing, pharma, public sector, energy, and consumer goods – where SAP is deeply embedded. And critically, it solidifies GFT's position in high-value added services by initiating collaboration with SAP. This partnership has the potential to enhance both GFT's revenue growth and profitability, as SAP services represent a higher-margin segment with sustained global demand.
A key strategic advantage of the acquisition is the integration of Wynxx, GFT's GenAI product, into Megawork's SAP services. Wynxx will play a central role in accelerating SAP Cloud ERP migrations and project implementation, driving automation, reducing complexity, and unlocking faster time-to-value for clients.
This not only reinforces GFT's AI leadership but also positions the company as a preferred partner for clients seeking to adopt SAP's AI-powered innovations.
The acquisition also unlocks substantial cross-selling opportunities. A majority of GFT's existing global client base already uses SAP, presenting a clear path to expand services, secure new project wins, and deepen client relationships. Conversely, Megawork's clients will now benefit from GFT's strengths in cloud transformation, AI, data platforms, and Salesforce. There is minimal client overlap between GFT and Megawork, which presents clear opportunities for complementary growth and cross-selling across both portfolios.
Megawork's team consists of approximately 350 highly skilled professionals. They are specialized in SAP consulting, support, and implementation. In 2024, the company reported revenues of around €14 million and an EBITDA margin of 21 percent, underscoring its strong profitability and operational efficiency.
The closing of the transaction is planned for the fourth quarter of 2025 at the latest. The transaction is subject to approval by the national antitrust authority in Brazil.

Amazon's AI coding agent was hacked - update now to avoid possible risks, users warned
When you buy through links on our articles, Future and its syndication partners may earn a commission. Experts claim Amazon Q Developer Extension for VSC v1.84.0 had some dodgy code This has now been removed, with version 1.85.0 offering a clean fix Around 5.6% of VSC extensions have been compromised A hacker has planted data-wiping code into the Amazon Q Developer Extension for Visual Studio Code (VSC) – a free GenAI extension with nearly one million installs from the Microsoft VSC marketplace designed to help developers code, debug, document and configure projects. On July 13 2025, the malicious commit from 'lkmanka58' on GitHub included a prompt to delete system and cloud resources, with Amazon unknowingly publishing the compromised version (1.84.0) on July 17. With suspicious activity noted on July 23 and Amazon developers quickly springing into action, a clean version was released on July 24 without the malicious code, so users are being advised to update to 1.85.0 as a matter of urgency. Amazon missed some malicious code in its Q Developer Extension Despite the apparent threat, Amazon noted the code was malformed and wouldn't execute in user environments, but some researchers have disputed this, saying that the code had executed, but hadn't caused any harm. Regardless, version 1.84.0 has been removed altogether from distribution channels. Still, users have expressed concerns that such a potentially dangerous snippet of code could have been missed by Amazon, taking to online communities like Reddit to criticize Amazon for silently editing the git history and being slow to disclose the mistake. Amazon's incident isn't unique, though, with a 2024 academic survey of nearly 53,000 VS Code extensions revealing around 5.6% have suspicious elements like arbitrary network calls, privilege abuse or obfuscated code. Ultimately, developers are being advised not to unconditionally trust IDE extensions and AI assistants, however many have been left disappointed that Amazon let this one slip through the net.

Arabica Coffee Rises as Tariff Risks Remain
September arabica coffee (KCU25) today is up +2.70 (+0.92%), and September ICE robusta coffee (RMU25) is up +4 (+0.12%). Coffee prices today are moving higher. Arabica coffee is climbing today on tariff risks after President Trump delayed the implementation of 50% tariffs on Brazil exports by a week, and so far hasn't included coffee as a Brazilian commodity exempt from tariffs. Concerns remain that a 50% tariff on Brazilian goods could potentially raise coffee prices sharply and disrupt supplies from Brazil, the world's largest producer of arabica coffee. More News from Barchart Reduced Tariff Risks Weigh on Arabica Coffee Arabica Coffee Slips as Brazil Tariff Fears Ease Dollar Strength Undercuts NY Cocoa Prices Markets move fast. Keep up by reading our FREE midday Barchart Brief newsletter for exclusive charts, analysis, and headlines. Robusta coffee also has support due to crop concerns in Vietnam, following updated weather forecasts that eliminated the chance of rain in the country's coffee-producing regions this week. Vietnam is the world's largest robusta-producing country. An excessive short position by funds in robusta coffee could exacerbate any short-covering rally in robusta coffee futures. ICE Futures Europe reported last Friday that funds boosted their net-short positions in ICE robusta futures by 3,334 to 4,628 short positions in the week ended July 22, the most in two years. The ongoing Brazil coffee harvest is weighing on coffee prices. Brazil's Cooxupe coffee co-op announced Tuesday that its harvest among its members was 67% complete as of July 25. Cooxupe is Brazil's largest coffee cooperative and Brazil's largest exporter group. In related news, Safras & Mercado reported last Friday that Brazil's overall 2025/26 coffee harvest was 84% complete as of July 23, ahead of the comparable level of 81% last year and the 5-year average of 77%. The breakdown showed that 96% of the robusta harvest and 76% of the arabica harvest were complete as of July 23. Coffee prices have retreated over the past three months on the outlook for abundant coffee supplies. Earlier this month, arabica coffee tumbled to an 8-month low and robusta sank to a 1.25-year nearest-futures low. On June 25, the USDA's Foreign Agricultural Service (FAS) forecasted that Brazil's 2025/26 coffee production will increase by +0.5% y/y to 65 million bags and that Vietnam's 2025/26 coffee output will rise by 6.9% y/y to a 4-year high of 31 million bags. Brazil is the world's largest producer of arabica coffee, and Vietnam is the world's largest producer of robusta coffee. Recent rain in Brazil has eased dryness concerns and is bearish for coffee prices. Somar Meteorologia reported Monday that Brazil's largest arabica coffee-growing area, Minas Gerais, received 3.5 mm of rain during the week ended July 26, more than +200% of the historical average. On the bearish side for robusta is an increase in ICE-monitored inventories. Robusta coffee inventories rose to a 1-year high of 7,029 lots Monday. Conversely, ICE-monitored arabica coffee inventories fell to a 3.5-month low of 775,476 bags Wednesday. Smaller coffee exports from Brazil are positive for prices after Cecafe reported on July 16 that Brazil's total Jun green coffee exports fell -31% y/y to 2.3 million bags, with arabica exports down -27% y/y to 1.8 million bags and robusta exports down -42% y/y to 476,334 bags. Due to drought, Vietnam's coffee production in the 2023/24 crop year decreased by -20% y/y to 1.472 MMT, the smallest crop in four years. Also, Vietnam's General Statistics Office reported that 2024 Vietnam coffee exports fell by -17.1% y/y to 1.35 MMT. Additionally, the Vietnam Coffee and Cocoa Association reduced its 2024/25 Vietnam coffee production estimate to 26.5 million bags on March 12, down from a December estimate of 28 million bags. By contrast, the Vietnam National Statistics Office reported on July 7 that Vietnam's Jan-Jun 2025 coffee exports were up +4.1% y/y to 943,000 MT. The USDA's biannual report, released on June 25, was bearish for coffee prices. The USDA's Foreign Agriculture Service (FAS) projected that world coffee production in 2025/26 will increase by +2.5% y/y to a record 178.68 million bags, with a -1.7% decrease in arabica production to 97.022 million bags and a +7.9% increase in robusta production to 81.658 million bags. The USDA's FAS forecasts that 2025/26 ending stocks will climb by +4.9% to 22.819 million bags from 21.752 million bags in 2024/25. For the 2025/26 marketing year, Volcafe projects a global 2025/26 arabica coffee deficit of -8.5 million bags, wider than the -5.5 million bag deficit for 2024/25 and the fifth consecutive year of deficits.

Russia Responds to Donald Trump's Tariff Threat
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said Thursday that the BRICS alliance does not respond to threats and does not target its efforts against other countries, following President Donald Trump's announcement of new tariffs on several BRICS nations. "BRICS does not respond to threats," Peskov told Russian state news agency TASS. "BRICS never directs its activities against any countries. That is not the purpose of BRICS." Peskov said the bloc—comprising Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa—was founded to foster cooperation among emerging economies, not to confront or oppose other states. "The purpose of BRICS is to develop cooperation in areas of mutual interest for mutual benefit," he added. Trump signed an executive order earlier this week imposing new tariffs on imports from BRICS nations. Beginning Aug. 1, a 25 percent tariff will apply to Indian goods entering the U.S., while Brazilian imports will face a 50 percent tariff increase. This is a breaking news story. Updates to follow.
