It seems lik all of the new A.I. revenue will be led by the on-shore non-AWS employees at all of the System Integrators/GSI's big and (Accenture, Deloitte, Kyndryl, IBM) that will delpy and embed/integrate onsite with the client workforce.

It amazes me how many d-mb decisions those above me in leadership make. They call in multiple 3rd party companies to direct them when they have thousands of people who have worked hand in hand with clients everyday for multiple decades and know what they want.

Investing in a POS solution wasn't Genius at all. Global put it's self in a market that immediately made all of your biggest partners leave because you are now the competitor.... Instead of increasing what was huge partnerships to just handle the payment processing. Both Tsys, Heartland, and Global all had 1000s of large partners and the companys were profitable but Global blindly decides to disrupt its own base and wonder why they are going broke... Get back to the foundations and focus on being the best payment processor and partner. You cannot compete in a software world where anyone can build their own POS now. Focus on being the payment partner of choice for every software.

Perella Weinberg Partners announced layoffs in late May 2026. About sixty to seventy people were affected, including twelve partners. The company's first-quarter revenue and earnings fell below analyst expectations. Its strong energy investment banking sector experienced a significant decline in transactions. Management framed these reductions as strategic, not due to AI efficiency.

Thoughts on our "Partners"?

Why are partners like Victra hiring a bunch of former Verizon people?

Are they getting ready to take over more than just retail stores?

Will they also be opening their own contact centers to manage the customers they activate and support?

All interesting potential moves that show you the possible work being done and fast.

HP/Poly is undergoing a significant restructuring, resulting in extensive layoffs that notably affect senior and higher-compensated roles. This strategic shift carries a substantial risk of eroding trust with key customers, partners, and channel stakeholders, potentially impacting Poly's market position and service delivery.

Reality Check. Stop the “We’re Great” and “Intel Comeback” B.S. There will never be an Intel product that’s not enhanced or influenced by a better more competitive “partner/investor” again. It’s over folks. Hang up the jersey.

I think we all know who broke up with who.
