Relativity Accelerates Enterprise AI Transformation with Google Cloud’s Gemini Enterprise for Legal

News Summary:

• RelativityOne now integrates with Google Cloud’s Gemini Enterprise for Legal through the Model Context Protocol (MCP).
• This integration enables shared users to accelerate enterprise workflows with increased speed and security.
• The MCP integration for Gemini Enterprise is another informed step toward strengthening the intuitive experience of the company’s AI platform for legal data intelligence, expanding the legal work it supports by bringing it to legal professionals where and how they work.

CHICAGO, Aug. 25, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Relativity, a legal data intelligence company, today announced that its extensible AI platform for legal work, RelativityOne, now integrates with Google Cloud’s Gemini Enterprise for Legal through the Model Context Protocol (MCP). This integration enables shared users to accelerate enterprise workflows with increased speed and security.

This latest connection to the MCP has launched as part of Gemini Enterprise for Legal, an agentic solution purpose-built to meet the complex requirements and workflows of the legal industry. The MCP now connects to Gemini Enterprise, adding a conversational agentic execution layer on top of RelativityOne, letting system administrators—including litigation support teams, legal operations, service providers and developers—stand up new matters, align workspaces to the structure of their data, and manage access and workflows through natural language.

“Our goal in connecting RelativityOne directly to Gemini Enterprise for Legal is to make leveraging advanced AI both practical and actionable for legal teams,” said Chris Brown, President, Relativity. “This integration empowers users to orchestrate matters and workflows inside RelativityOne, their sensitive data never leaving the platform and the substantive analysis staying within Relativity aiR.”

“Legal teams need AI solutions that are powerful and deeply integrated into their trusted platforms,” said Satish Thomas, Vice President, Google Cloud. “This integration with RelativityOne brings the advanced reasoning and agentic capabilities of Gemini Enterprise directly into legal workflows, enabling firm and enterprise users to operate with greater speed, precision, and security.”

The MCP also delivers real-time insight into operations, surfacing usage patterns, reinforcing best practices and supporting more informed decisions across matters, clients and practice groups. That level of instant visibility can strengthen governance: teams can audit access, manage matter lifecycles and maintain a defensible posture with less risk of inadvertent disclosure.

The MCP integration for Gemini Enterprise is another informed step toward strengthening the intuitive experience of the company’s AI platform for legal data intelligence, expanding the legal work it supports by bringing it to legal professionals where and how they work. RelativityOne has long been a platform designed to be extended through APIs and a partner ecosystem. This Gemini Enterprise integration further empowers Relativity’s user community to manage and tailor their RelativityOne environments to meet their unique needs, simplify operational tasks and ultimately focus more time on the meaningful work that drives real outcomes.

Spinnaker Support Names Rex Young Chief Information Officer as Company Scales Global Operations

Veteran Tech Leader Brings 25-Plus Years of IT, Cybersecurity, and AI Experience to Modernize Platforms and Strengthen Security

DENVER, Colo., Aug. 25, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Spinnaker Support, the third-party software support leader entrusted by 1,300+ global clients, today announced the appointment of Rex Young as Chief Information Officer (CIO). Reporting to CEO Matt Stava, Young will lead Spinnaker’s global technology strategy as the company expands to meet the accelerating global demand for Oracle, SAP, VMware, and PostgreSQL support.

Young’s mandate centers on modernizing the company’s technology platforms, strengthening its data and analytics capabilities, and enhancing cybersecurity. That work extends to Spinnaker’s AI strategy, building on tools like Navigator and Spinnaker Intelligence to speed issue resolution while hardening the security posture for every department. He will also partner closely with other leaders across the company to use technology in ways that improve operational efficiency, support customers, and enable smarter, data-driven decision-making.

“Our core technology capabilities shape how we operate and serve our customers,” said Matt Stava, CEO of Spinnaker Support. “Rex has spent his career turning complex technology environments into engines for growth. His experience modernizing platforms, strengthening security, and putting data and AI to work will help us deliver more for our customers.”

Young brings more than 25 years of executive technology leadership experience, including roles with private equity-backed software and technology companies. He most recently served as CIO and Chief Information Security Officer (CISO) at SambaSafety, where he led enterprise IT, information security, digital transformation, AI enablement, and large-scale modernization initiatives that supported the company’s growth. Earlier in his career, he served as CIO at LogRhythm.

“Spinnaker is growing fast, and that growth has to be matched by technology that scales with it,” said Young. “My focus is on simplifying how the business runs, so AI can do more than automate tasks. Done right, it strengthens security instead of expanding the attack surface, and gives our engineers faster answers instead of more noise. And this isn’t just internal IT. I want us building technology our customers benefit from directly, not only what keeps the lights on behind the scenes. That’s the foundation I want under Spinnaker as we grow. I look forward to partnering with Matt and the leadership team at a stage where the business has real momentum.”

Spinnaker carries a 94% customer satisfaction rating and support teams averaging more than 20 years of enterprise engineering experience. The last 12 months have brought a series of significant milestones:

• Revenue growth: Spinnaker is sustaining double-digit growth as enterprises increasingly turn to independent support for greater control and flexibility. Demand continues to accelerate across Oracle, SAP, and VMware practices, with expansion across both new and existing global customers.
• South Africa expansion: In March 2026, Spinnaker opened its South Africa office in partnership with African Rainbow Capital, establishing a regional delivery and engineering hub and extending the company’s global reach across Africa and sub-Saharan regions.
• VMware division growth: In response to Broadcom’s subscription licensing changes, the VMware practice has signed dozens of enterprise clients and announced indefinite support for organizations running vSphere 7 past Broadcom’s October 2025 end-of-support deadline.

Utility Global Taps Erik Meuleman as Chief Technology Officer to Advance Proprietary H2Gen Commercialization

Industry veteran brings 20+ years of experience advancing decarbonization technologies from research to commercial deployment

HOUSTON, Aug. 25, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Utility Global (“Utility”), a global company enabling economic industrial decarbonization, today announced the appointment of Erik Meuleman, Ph.D., as Chief Technology Officer. Meuleman joins Utility as the company continues rapid acceleration of its proprietary H2Gen® technology from proven technology into broad commercial deployment, bringing more than two decades of experience advancing separation and carbon capture technologies from early-stage research through commercial-ready systems.

Meuleman joins Utility from ION Clean Energy, where he served as CTO since 2016, leading the transformation of a research-driven carbon capture company into an integrated product development organization focused on commercial deployment. He grew ION’s engineering and science organization from six to 25 professionals with zero unplanned turnover and directed system-level optimization efforts that improved the cost of capture by 30 percent for capital expenditures and 15 percent for operating expenditures, while cutting solvent reclamation needs by a staggering 90 percent.

Previously, at Australia’s Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation, he led teams of up to 25 research engineers and scientists advancing carbon capture technologies from inception through pilot scale, supporting the development of more than 15 patents and four pilot plants. Earlier in his career, at the Netherlands Organization for Applied Scientific Research, he initiated and led the development of separation technologies, including new distillation and pervaporation systems, across multi-national research programs. Meuleman holds a Ph.D. in chemical engineering from the University of Twente in the Netherlands.

“Erik has spent two decades moving technology out of the lab and into industrial plants that run, which is exactly the discipline and leadership we need right now,” said Utility Chief Executive Officer Parker Meeks. “He’s built technology organizations from the ground up more than once, and we are looking forward to working with Erik to enhance our advanced technical team’s ability to accelerate the continued commercial deployment of our proprietary H2Gen around the world.”

Utility enables industrial companies to unlock value by extending the economic life of existing assets, eliminating or reducing emissions and accelerating progress toward their sustainability and decarbonization goals to support a cleaner environment for our communities and the world.

As Utility advances multiple commercial projects and expands its footprint across North America, Europe and Asia, Meuleman will lead the technology organization through this next stage of growth.

“What drew me to Utility is the combination of an exciting technology that already works at scale and a team ready to build real engineering discipline around it,” Meuleman said. “I’ve spent my career doing exactly that kind of work, closing the gap between what’s proven in demonstration and what a customer can actually run with extreme confidence at industrial scale.”

Utility Global is a portfolio company of Ara Partners, a global private equity and infrastructure firm decarbonizing the industrial economy.

(also known as Linctex), the company behind Style3D. The legal action, initiated in 2023, alleged that Linctex engaged in willful and unauthorized use of CLO’s patented technology. The lawsuit sought damages and injunctive relief to halt infringement of three of CLO’s patents in the U.S. As part of the resolution, Linctex has admitted that the accused Style3D Studio software infringes upon CLO’s asserted patents (U.S. Patent Nos. 10,733,773, 11,410,355 and 11,222,448). In addition, Linctex has also admitted that CLO’s asserted patents are valid and enforceable. Other terms of the settlement remain confidential.

KuMining Broadens Access to Proof-of-Work Infrastructure with KAS Cloud Mining

PROVIDENCIALES, Turks and Caicos Islands, Aug. 25, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — As Proof-of-Work mining becomes increasingly dependent on specialized hardware, energy resources and professional operations, direct participation remains out of reach for many individual users. KuMining, the cloud mining platform powered by global cryptocurrency exchange KuCoin, today announced the launch of KAS Cloud Mining, further expanding its multi-asset mining ecosystem and providing eligible users with a simpler way to access professional KAS mining infrastructure.

KAS is the native asset of Kaspa, a Proof-of-Work blockDAG network. As new KAS enters circulation through mining, access to hashrate allows users to participate in the network’s block production and security process, offering an alternative to purchasing the asset directly on the secondary market.

With KAS mining now primarily reliant on specialized ASIC hardware, users would otherwise need to purchase and transport equipment, secure suitable power and hosting, configure mining pools, and manage ongoing maintenance. KuMining brings these operational requirements together in a streamlined cloud mining experience, creating an accessible path between buying KAS and operating a physical mining setup.

Eligible users can select contracts ranging from 7 to 360 days and receive variable daily KAS mining output based on their purchased hashrate and applicable product rules. The pool-based model provides a more continuous and observable experience than probability-based solo mining, while removing the need to own or operate mining equipment.

KAS Cloud Mining also adopts KuMining’s “mine first, pay electricity later” model. Users pay the applicable hashrate fee upfront, while electricity charges are settled over time. This reduces initial cash requirements and provides greater cash-flow flexibility, without implying lower total mining costs.

“Mining should be accessible to anyone who wants to participate, not limited to those with the resources to purchase and operate specialized equipment,” said Jolie Du, Chief Operating Officer of KuMining. “By introducing KAS Cloud Mining, we are giving more users a simpler path into professional Proof-of-Work mining while taking another step in the expansion of KuMining’s multi-asset ecosystem. Our goal is to connect professional infrastructure with everyday users through a transparent and integrated experience.”

Integrated with KuCoin, KuMining enables users to receive and manage mining output without navigating separate mining pools, wallets and exchanges. The launch further extends KuMining’s Trade → Earn → Mine journey and reinforces its role as an accessible gateway to professional mining infrastructure.

KAS Cloud Mining is now available to eligible users here.

About KuMining

KuMining is a leading cloud mining platform developed by KuCoin, one of the world’s top cryptocurrency exchanges. Dedicated to democratizing mining, KuMining offers secure, efficient hashrate services to users globally, backed by cutting-edge infrastructure and seamless integration with KuCoin’s ecosystem.

Cambrex High Point Completes FDA, PMDA and TGA Pre-Approval Inspections, Advancing Commercial Manufacturing Capabilities

EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J., Aug. 25, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Cambrex, a leading global contract development and manufacturing organization (CDMO), today announced the successful completion of three Pre-Approval Inspections (PAIs) at its High Point, North Carolina facility by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), Japan’s Pharmaceuticals and Medical Devices Agency (PMDA), and Australia’s Therapeutic Goods Administration (TGA). The completion of all three inspections enables High Point to manufacture approved active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) for the United States, Japan, and Australia, establishing the facility as the newest commercial manufacturing site within the Cambrex global network.

PAIs are conducted by regulatory agencies to assess a facility’s quality systems, manufacturing processes, data integrity, and operational controls before commercial products can be approved for manufacture at the site.

The milestone follows Cambrex’s $38 million expansion of the High Point facility completed in 2023, which added analytical and chemical development laboratories, clinical manufacturing suites, and commercial manufacturing operations with reactors up to 2,000 liters. The site is designed to support lower-volume commercial products, including orphan drugs, precision medicines, and other specialized therapies serving smaller patient populations.

“Successfully completing these inspections demonstrates the strength of our quality systems and the dedication of the High Point team,” said Thomas Loewald, Chief Executive Officer, Cambrex. “As more therapies are developed for targeted patient populations, the industry increasingly requires commercial manufacturing capacity at smaller scales. High Point was purpose-built to meet that need, providing customers with an efficient and flexible path from development to long-term commercial supply.”

High Point complements Cambrex’s global development and manufacturing network by providing customers with a seamless path from process development and clinical manufacturing through commercial production. The addition of commercial manufacturing capabilities in North Carolina further expands the company’s ability to support customer programs throughout the product lifecycle.

About Cambrex

Cambrex is a leading global contract development and manufacturing organization (CDMO) that provides drug substance development and manufacturing across the entire drug lifecycle, as well as comprehensive analytical services.

With over 45 years of experience and a team of 2,000 experts servicing global clients from North America and Europe, Cambrex offers a range of specialized drug substance technologies and capabilities, including continuous flow, controlled substances, peptide synthesis, solid-state science, biocatalysis, material characterization, complex synthetics, and highly potent APIs.

Bare Bones Publishing Brings Writers, Illustrators and Young Voices Together at First Literary Salon

NEW DELHI, Aug. 25, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Bare Bones Publishing hosted its first literary salon, Stories That Shape Us, on 22 August at Kunzum Books, bringing together authors, poets, illustrators, young writers and Indian Army veterans for an afternoon of conversations around storytelling, imagination, experience and service.

The salon, anchored by Shabana Chowdhury Ali, brought together voices from across Bare Bones’ growing catalogue through a series of conversations exploring the many ways stories are created, interpreted and shared.

The programme opened with ‘Meet the Storymakers’, featuring author Reeham Ahmed in conversation with award-winning poet Vinita Agrawal and Veena Naravane, former President of the Army Women’s Welfare Association. The conversation explored the craft of storytelling and the different experiences that shape writers and their work.

In ‘Drawing Stories’, artists and illustrators Anisha Kotibhaskar, Monika Saroch and Maryam Ahmad discussed the relationship between words and images, and the role of illustration in shaping the imagination of young readers.

The theme of lived experience and creative expression continued in ‘Stories Their Stories Tell’, with author Sonia Dogra in conversation with teenage writers Mihika Prakash and Reeham Ahmed.

The salon then turned to questions of belonging, identity and service with ‘The India We Serve’, featuring Indian Army veterans Captain Shakil Ahmed, Maj Gen (Dr) Yash Mor and Garry Singh. The conversation drew from essays in My India, My Gods, an anthology of creative nonfiction conceived, curated and edited by Sahana Ahmed, Founder & CEO of Bare Bones Publishing.

Chandigarh University CSE Student Builds Tech-Driven Startup to Help Businesses Across IT, Digital Marketing and Networking Grow Fast in the Digital Era

University’s Engineering Student’s Startup ‘Habonix Media’ Receives Rs. 3 Lakh Startup Seed Grant from Punjab Government

CHANDIGARH, India, Aug. 25, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Combining technology and creativity to help businesses grow efficiently in a competitive digital market, a Chandigarh University (CU) alumnus, Sabhay Khera, has founded a startup Habonix Media Pvt Ltd — a one-stop solution provider for IT services, helping MSMEs and growing businesses build, scale, and succeed in the digital space — offering end-to-end services including web and mobile app development, UI/UX (User Interface and User Experience) design and performance marketing solutions tailored to each client’s goals.

Under Habonix Media, which received the Rs. 3 lakh startup seed grant from the Punjab government, Sabhay has co-founded two specialised ventures— ‘No Cap Creative’ and ‘CollabRats’. While ‘No Cap Creative’, which was co-founded by Sabhay in January 2026 with Avleen Kaur, provides end-to-end digital marketing and content solutions, ‘CollabRats’ is a mobile networking and opportunity discovery platform co-founded by Sabhay in May 2025 with Ramandeep Singh.

Describing his entrepreneurial journey, a 2025 batch student of Computer Science Engineering (CSE) at Chandigarh University, Sabhay said, “Entrepreneurship rarely begins with everything figured out. It starts with taking the first step, finding people whose strengths complement your own, learning from every project and continuously improving. So when I founded Habonix Media Pvt Ltd, my goal was to deliver reliable, result-driven, and scalable solutions tailored to each client’s goals through IT services and consulting.”

“As a part of this journey, I have co-founded ‘No Cap Creative’ with Avleen Kaur and ‘CollabRats’ with Ramandeep Singh. No Cap Creative provides end-to-end digital marketing and content solutions, including Social Media Marketing, Performance Marketing, Content Creation, Video Production and Shoots, Video Editing, Graphic Design, Web Development, and Digital Branding and Creative Strategy. It works with businesses across multiple sectors and adapts its creative and marketing strategies according to the needs of each client. No Cap Creative started with just three clients in January 2026 but now has over 20 clients across a wide range of business establishments including restaurants and hospitality, real estate, healthcare and doctors, sports and fitness, fashion and lifestyle, retail and e-commerce and professional services. Some of these notable brands include Basant, Ombre and Amoldo, among others.”

“With monthly revenue exceeding Rs. 3 lakh, No Cap Creative currently has a team of over 12 members, covering creative, content, video, design, marketing and other functions required to serve its growing client base. With 10 million+ cumulative views generated for clients, No Cap Creative has also successfully created multiple pieces of viral content for its clients, helping businesses across different industries increase their digital visibility and reach. No Cap Creative plans to expand its presence across North India and build a larger team capable of handling increasingly ambitious creative and marketing projects. The company intends to deepen its capabilities in content production, performance marketing, branding and digital strategy while continuing to work with businesses across different industries. We will also explore technology products and platforms, with the long-term goal of building a company that goes beyond traditional agency services,” he added.

Sabhay said, “The idea for ‘CollabRats’ originated from my personal experience of finding it difficult to discover the right people and opportunities in a new environment. We realized that although young people are more digitally connected than ever, finding the right people and opportunities still depends heavily on existing networks. CollabRats was created as a mobile networking and opportunity discovery platform to make that discovery easier. By addressing the fragmented nature of networking and opportunity discovery, it helps users discover relevant people, jobs, gigs, events, communities and services nearby through hyperlocal discovery and smart matchmaking.”

“CollabRats is currently pre-revenue and is focused on product validation, user growth and achieving product-market fit. Four team members are currently working with CollabRats across product, technology, business and other functions. CollabRats has launched its beta, onboarded 250+ users, conducted 200+ user surveys, built CollabNation with 300+ members, achieved 1M+ social media views. We plan to build strong user communities city by city, starting with Punjab and expanding to Tier 1 and Tier 2 cities. We will focus on improving matchmaking, user experience and retention while scaling through communities, campuses, referrals, content and partnerships,” he added.

On the role of Chandigarh University, Sabhay said, “Chandigarh University provided me an environment with valuable entrepreneurship exposure, education, leadership opportunities, startup ecosystem support and access to incubation opportunities which contributed to my overall development as an entrepreneur.”

“My biggest advice to students would be make use of the learning opportunities available at university campus and to start before you feel completely ready because entrepreneurship rarely begins with everything figured out. It starts with taking the first step, finding people whose strengths complement your own, learning from every project and continuously improving. Students should not be afraid to experiment while they are still in college. Even small freelance projects, side businesses or collaborations can become the foundation for something much bigger. Start with a real problem, talk to users, build something small and keep improving. Being a student is actually an advantage because you have the time and environment to experiment and learn.”

Congratulating CU alumnus Sabhay Khera on his entrepreneurial journey and extending best wishes for his success, Deepinder Singh Sandhu, Senior Managing Director, Chandigarh University, said, “Chandigarh University fosters an entrepreneurial ecosystem which encourages its students to innovate and develop new technologies. Since its inception, Chandigarh University students have created over 250 Start-Ups. Chandigarh University’s Technology Business Incubator (CU-TBI) is mobilising Rs. 5 crore to catalyze growth in the startup ecosystem at CU.”

“The industry-collaborated and future-ready program of Chandigarh University are meticulously designed to equip students with the latest industry insights, practical skills, and hands-on experiences, ensuring they are well-prepared to tackle the challenges of the modern business landscape,” he added.

We have a product for every need that has been designed to be feature-rich and easily integrated into any project. Drawer systems remain one of Hettich’s core brand-building categories, and as a leader in this space, our intent is to further consolidate that position by offering the largest and most comprehensive portfolio of linear drawer systems in the industry, backed by German technology and state-of-the-art engineering.
