'The economics of enterprise service delivery are shifting rapidly – and providers can't afford to stand still,' said Robert Conger, GM of software platforms and strategy at Adtran. 'Our new Ensemble Cloudlet vRouter offers an immediate way to modernize services, increase margins and support high-value business customers with greater agility. It delivers the simplicity of a traditional appliance while also bringing the scalability and intelligence of a cloud-native platform. Many providers are stuck managing legacy appliances that are expensive to evaluate, deploy and scale. With this solution, they can break free of those constraints and confidently expand their service capabilities over time.'
Adtran's Ensemble Cloudlet vRouter combines servers with high-performance virtual routing technology powered by 6WIND, alongside centralized cloud orchestration via Ensemble EdgeView. With native support for 2.5Gbit/s, 10Gbit/s SFP+ and optional 5G wireless, it delivers dynamic Layer 3 routing, VPN, DNS, DHCP, QoS, stateful firewall capabilities and robust IPsec security. The platform offers zero-touch provisioning, remote lifecycle management and cloud-hosted orchestration services for faster time to market and streamlined operations. Providers can scale up from 4-core systems for routing-only use cases to 8-core configurations that support additional virtual network functions and enterprise workloads.
'We've designed this platform as more than just a replacement for legacy hardware. It's a scalable, service-ready foundation that enables our customers to respond to today's demands while preparing for what's next,' commented Christoph Glingener, CTO of Adtran. 'Ensemble Cloudlet vRouter gives providers the flexibility to tailor deployments to their needs, whether that means delivering a high-bandwidth Layer 3 service or orchestrating more advanced use cases incorporating third-party VNFs. For the first time, they can combine the simplicity of a physical box with the freedom of virtualization, supported by off-the-shelf agility and cloud-native control.'
Further information on Ensemble Cloudlet vRouter is available in these slides.

EFG Companies: Top Five Questions We Hear From Dealers Reflect State of the Industry
Challenging Times Demand Sound Counsel During Second Half of 2025 DALLAS, July 29, 2025--(BUSINESS WIRE)--EFG Companies has the ear of over 1,600 retail automotive and powersports dealers and hears the impacts of the current market and economic conditions. Success in the second half of 2025 will require a mixture of strategy, innovation, and preparation to combat the challenging forces disrupting sales and revenue generation. Here are the Top Five Questions we hear from dealer principals daily – and the experienced counsel we share with them. For more information, visit Top Five Questions from Dealers What business changes should we make now, given the uncertain economy? Now is not the time to hunker down. While dealers cannot control market forces such as interest rates, tariffs, supply chain, and increasing inventory constraints, dealership owners can closely evaluate annual reinsurance and revenue generation goals. Dealers should consciously and comprehensively analyze personal wealth creation and profit metrics to ensure strong positions. Our Wealth Builder Profit Participation portfolio and Business Development Assessment process are proven tools for success. How can we mitigate losses from tariffs? A strategic focus on training and recruiting is a powerful weapon to fight the impacts of tariffs. Front-end margins and unit sales are anemic – the opportunity for dealers to shore up their business is through backend gross. To drive increased PRU and penetration, there is a need to modify behaviors that set in during COVID when front-end gross was at record highs. For training to deliver sustainable performance results, there must be a commitment from dealership management to support the processes learned in training and not revert to bad (perhaps more comfortable) habits. Ensuring pay plans are structured to motivate the desired behaviors is also key. How can we drive more traffic to our dealership? Consumer concerns about the economy, employment, and rising inflation will continue to impact dealer sales for the foreseeable future. Edmunds' research shows auto finance metrics have reached record highs. Increasing traffic and online to on-lot sales requires dealers to refocus their people on the fundamentals. Traffic-driving and retention products, such as WALKAWAY® and Drive Forever Worry Free from EFG, give consumers confidence in making a large purchase during challenging times, while increasing buyer loyalty and fixed operations revenue. The questions you should ask are 4-fold: Is it good for your brand? Is it good for the consumer? Is it good for your employees? And does it drive profit? What changes should we make to our processes? Artificial intelligence tools are all the buzz, driven by consumers' growing online purchase habits, says Cox Automotive research. Dealers who focus on value-driven differentiation will overstep the competition. Delivering a "Why Buy Here" message at every customer interaction is key. Training across all divisions to reinforce customer interaction while delivering the right products for each individual customer must be an ingrained process. How can we increase our margins and make more per sale? When front-end margins shrink, backend margins must increase. Culture, behavior, and performance are key drivers that impact results. Dealers set the tone here and must go beyond traditional training methodologies to focus on needs-based selling that delivers results. Our data show that properly trained team members can generate an incremental $206,400 average annual F&I profit per producer per year. "If we take the lessons learned from COVID and the Great Recession, we know the root cause issues impacting dealer profit," said Jennifer Rappaport, CEO of EFG Companies. "Some of today's challenges may be unique, but the underlying strategy is the same. With nearly 50 years of empirical data on training and consumer protection products, we intimately understand the challenges facing automotive and powersports dealers. Our dedication to a results-focused client engagement model that combines F&I products with a model-agnostic reinsurance portfolio has delivered proven results. We feel confident that our counsel will once again ensure our customers successfully weather these challenges." About EFG CompaniesFor nearly 50 years, EFG Companies has provided consumer protection programs for vehicles and residences across seven market channels. The company's strategic intent is to build sustainable market differentiation and profitability for its clients and partners, including dealers, lenders, manufacturers, independent marketers, and agents.

‘Billionaire Reporter' Launches With Exclusive Coverage of America's Wealthiest
Veteran media executive brings serious journalism to the ultra-high net worth community. LOS ANGELES, July 29, 2025--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Matt Toledo, former Publisher and CEO of the Los Angeles Business Journal, is launching Billionaire Reporter, a new digital media platform dedicated to covering the lives, investments, and influence of billionaires. The daily news outlet provides in-depth reporting on the over 1,000 billionaires in the U.S., tracking their philanthropic initiatives, business decisions, and broader impact on the economy and global society. "Billionaires are some of the most powerful figures in the world, yet their stories are largely untold," said Toledo, Founder and CEO. "Billionaire Reporter goes beyond net worth to reveal what drives the people behind the power." Billionaire Reporter's editorial mission is to deliver intelligent, original journalism that examines the lives and impact of the U.S. ultra-high net worth community. The platform goes beyond headlines to offer a deeper understanding of how billionaires build, spend, and shape the world around them. Coverage spotlights legacy billionaires and the most newly minted whose recent liquidity events or public offerings have moved them into the billionaire status. "Our focus is on thoughtful, fact-based journalism that explores the actions and achievements of billionaires across every major sector from business and finance to philanthropy, science, healthcare, and the arts," said Charles Crumpley, Editor-in-Chief, and award-winning, veteran journalist. "We are bringing depth and context to stories and subjects that are often underreported or misunderstood." Billionaire Reporter will also debut "The Vault", a proprietary, first-of-its-kind index that ranks and profiles America's wealthiest individuals. Updated regularly, the premium subscription product will feature curated data, billionaire biographies, and editorial analysis. "'The Vault' will be a signature destination for those tracking the latest financial news, insights and information at the highest levels of power and influence," added Toledo. Billionaire Reporter plans to expand its content through multimedia offerings launching later this year including original podcasts and interactive video segments featuring interviews with billionaires and industry insiders. "This launch fills a major white space in the business media landscape," said Rachel Lin, senior media analyst at Global Media Insights. "There is growing public and private sector interest in billionaire influence, not just their money, but their impact on markets, innovation, and philanthropy. Billionaire Reporter meets that demand while also creating a valuable opportunity for advertisers looking for direct access to one of the most exclusive audiences in the world."

Innovaccer Launches CometTM: Bringing Always-on Omnichannel AI Agents to the Front Line of Patient Access
New solution with omnichannel AI agents and copilots, delivering 24/7 access to providers, reducing wait times, and boosting appointment conversions across health systems SAN FRANCISCO, July 29, 2025--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Innovaccer Inc., a leading healthcare AI company, today announced the launch of CometTM, an AI powered Access Center solution that transforms the traditional call center into an intelligent, always-on digital front door for care. Built to address long-standing operational inefficiencies in patient access, CometTM integrates 24/7 omnichannel AI agents, intelligent bidirectional EMR connectivity, and real-time AI copilots to streamline scheduling, reduce hold time, and ease administrative burnout on staff. Patients can engage anytime, through their preferred channel without the frustration of waiting on holds or for callbacks, while access center teams work more efficiently with intelligent tools that augment decision making and automate work. As health systems confront staffing shortages, rising patient expectations, and revenue leakage from broken access workflows, CometTM delivers a unified solution that automates routine interactions, empowers agents with AI copilots, and ensures patients receive timely, personalized care across voice, web and SMS channels. "CometTM is not a chatbot upgrade. It's the beginning of a new era in healthcare access, an intelligent front door where every interaction is valued and served, and every patient feels seen," said Abhinav Shashank, cofounder and CEO at Innovaccer. "We built it to tackle the chaos of today's call centers head-on, bringing the speed, empathy, and precision patients expect with AI that actually works for healthcare." CometTM is designed to deliver measurable improvements in access, efficiency, and experience by combining AI agents with intelligent staff augmentation in multiple ways: Omnichannel AI Agents manage routine patient interactions, including scheduling, FAQs, and eligibility checks across voice, chat, and SMS, reducing call volumes and delivering instant, 24/7 patient access. AI Copilots for Live Agents provide patient-level personalized AI insights, real-time guidance and next best actions, complete post-call documentation and generate automated call summaries and transcript, helping reduce average call handle time by up to 38%. Referral AI Copilot automates referral intake, insurance verification, and fast tracks referral processing across multiple intake channels, with built-in bidirectional EHR integration to ensure faster scheduling and reduced revenue leakage. Unified Agent Interface centralizes critical tools and data, giving staff a single pane of glass to manage patient interactions efficiently. Pre-built healthcare workflows and plug-and-play EHR integrations enable rapid deployment in under 90 days, with the flexibility to scale across departments and service lines. Early implementations of CometTM have shown encouraging signs of measurable impact for healthcare organizations. According to internal assessments, health systems using CometTM have reported: A 30+% increase in appointment and referral conversions. Over 70% of interactions are now automated. Staff performance has seen an approximate 38% boost. Significant reduction in call resolution time. Time-to-Value achievement in under 90 days. These early results reinforce Comet's potential to address longstanding challenges in patient access, including long wait times, staff overload, high cost per interaction and missed revenue opportunities, and to help healthcare organizations transition toward intelligent, scalable, and patient-centered access models.
