The world of payment and unified commerce contains a variety of complex business processes, risks, compliance standards, and so much more.

Senior Vice President of Business Solutions at Amaryllis, Bruce Shirey, joins host Tyler Kern to talk about navigating this complex landscape.

Shirey wanted to provide a deeper insight into the arena of payment facilitation. One successful payment facilitator, or PayFac, is Shopify. They did not start out as a PayFac. Originally, Shopify was a merchant eCommerce software platform. Shopify became a fully registered PayFac, and now 61% of their revenue is from payments.

Shirey said some companies are too focused on technology and not on the processes and regulations in the payment world. He said that companies should really identify the true objectives the company is trying to accomplish. Shirey thinks that companies typically underestimate requirements, length of time for registration and certification, and the cost of becoming a payment facilitator.

The Early Scale: AI detection transforms into an audit tool in higher ed

The Early Scale: AI detection transforms into an audit tool in higher ed

The intersection of AI technology and massive data demands is rapidly transforming B2B landscapes. While new AI detectors become necessary tools, data centers are growing at an unprecedented rate. As enterprises look to scale their operations, strategies around these advancements become vital to stay competitive.

  • 01AI detectors in higher education are transitioning from academic integrity enforcement to audit tools for assessment, with institutions prioritizing AI literacy and updated assessment methods.
  • 02Vantage's $25 billion mega-campus investment in Texas signals that energy infrastructure and grid contracts are now critical factors in data center site selection.
  • 03Sports facility design is increasingly treated like a technology project, with growing focus on connectivity, LED lighting and advanced tech, as seen in a new $70M Louisiana complex.

UK hiring plans are rising, but skills gaps are now the schedule risk

UK hiring plans are rising, but skills gaps are now the schedule risk

UK employers plan more hiring over the next six months. Robert Half data via Staffing Industry Analysts shows 39% targeting permanent growth and 24% adding contractors. The World Economic Forum’s Future of Jobs Report 2025 describes shifting skill requirements, while 71% of employers cite hiring speed as a top challenge.

  • 01The most actionable number in Robert Half’s UK data is the constraint metric: 71% cite hiring speed as a top challenge, nearly matching candidate availability (70%) and retention (70%).
  • 02Contract talent is being used as a capacity buffer, 24% of UK employers plan more contractors (Sept. 2024) and 31% in professional services (Sept. 2025), a useful benchmark for workforce mix planning.
  • 03If AI and automation roles are already among the highest planned recruitment areas in the UK, per Robert Half, skills disruption is no longer a future-state scenario, it belongs in FY2026 hiring and training budgets.

Fractional executives are now a procurement decision, not just an HR one

Fractional executives are now a procurement decision, not just an HR one

Fractional executives are becoming a procurement decision, not just an HR one. Alpha Apex Group says it can present interim or full-time executive candidates within 72 hours and finish most searches in under 43 days. A Forbes Finance Council essay frames fractional services as an expanding model for specialized leadership, which for operators implies a repeatable, on-demand layer.

  • 01If an interim-search firm can deliver candidates in 72 hours, the bottleneck shifts to internal decision rights, interview loops, and onboarding access.
  • 02Benchmarks like “under 43 days” to complete searches only matter when paired with a scoped 30-60-90 plan and a clean handoff to a permanent hire.
  • 03Fractional leadership belongs in supplier management when the role touches regulated systems, ERP access, or material spend approvals.
