It means that I'm armed with the right stuff so I can instill trust and confidence in those around me, both my peers and customer To me, confidence to act means that knowing whatever I do with regards to our and what's best for them. I have the support of all my colleagues and the rest of the departments within Samba to make sure that we providing that awesome experience and in helping our to our customers and ultimately just helping us grow as a company in in twenty twenty three. So I'm very excited. Confidence to act to me is all about trust. And the trust that I feel I have in all of our teams and departments and individuals that make up Samba gives me the confidence to believe that we're destined for great things in twenty twenty three. To me, confidence to act means be brave, share your ideas, kind of things, ask for feedback, don't be afraid of feedback, and just be willing to grow, and improve. Hey, team. What confidence to act means to me is having the courage to ask the hard questions, to take the risk and put yourself out there and speak up when you need to. And I get that confidence because I have faith in what we do and what we provide to our clients, and I've seen it. I've heard it. The impacts are real in there, so that alone gives me the confidence to act. Confidence act to me means just to go for it, just to do it. Put aside all of the the thoughts that come into your head of how is this gonna work, what's gonna happen, blah blah blah blah blah. You know, we have a great team. We have great resources. And to me, it literally just means making the decision to go. Sometimes the worst decision to make is to not act at all. And in this sense, set aside your worries, just make it My name is TJ Krecher. I am a customer success manager here within our larger success organization. And what gives me the confidence to act is knowing that I have the support and the confidence of my peers. And I know that if I fall, they'll be there to pick me up and it's what keeps me moving forward and it keeps me trying new things and pushing the boundaries of my role. Miss Jennifer Pope, and I'm a customer service representative. And what gives me the confidence to act is is knowing that I have a team behind me that can help me if I have any questions or if I need any assistance with anything. And I'm Nancy Luca. I'm a customer success manager for the workforce verticals team. And I actually looked it up confidence just to kinda get a little more information behind it. So the feeling of relief that one can rely on someone or something firm trust. And I think that's what we have been finding on our teams is that we if we have questions or if we have something that comes up that we need help with, we can turn to each other on our team and we can get help and we can reach out to team Samba if we have some questions, and they and they are also there to help us out. So that is where I I get my confidence to act. Thanks, guys. Andrea Snyder, customer success manager on the channel partner vertical. What gives me confidence to act is it it kind of comes internally. It comes from being a customer success manager to some of our largest and most strategic Samba accounts. Those customers trust in us They want us to be their trusted adviser. And knowing that gives me the confidence to act almost on their behalf. And then along with all of my three colleagues here, knowing that I have the support from my team, not only my direct team, but teams across the organization to collaborate with. This is Catherine Moore from the insurance vertical. Our team has a solid foundation of support and dependability. We equip each other to to support our customers showing strength in numbers. These are the words that give us the confidence to act. Knowledge. Insight. Confirmity. Very, worry. Frost, clarity. Collaboration. Volorability. Fashion. And inspiration.

Dell’s $95B AI backlog is turning AI rollouts into a delivery-date problem

Dell has a reported $95B AI backlog. AI infrastructure lead times are still a gating factor in 2026. CIO Dive and Bain & Co. expect higher IT costs, while pricing shifts and on-prem moves are changing procurement playbooks.

  • 01A vendor’s backlog number is becoming a planning input, it indicates when AI timelines are gated by physical delivery, not approvals.
  • 02Outcome-based AI pricing sounds like savings, but it shifts risk into defining outcomes, metering how they are measured, and vendor governance.
  • 03The return to private cloud and on-prem for some AI workloads suggests facilities power, rack space, and supply contracts belong in AI roadmaps early.

AI is now a DAM governance requirement, not a demo feature

CMSWire’s 2026 DAM coverage shows AI fit and governance now drive enterprise DAM selection. Gartner’s DAM reviews point to cross-functional adoption and third-party access needs. Plan for metadata strategy, rights workflows, and integration requirements during refreshes happening now.

  • 01If the DAM roadmap does not spell out how governance, metadata, and rights management will support AI-driven use cases, teams can get stuck in approval and control issues instead of moving forward with storage and delivery.
  • 02Bynder shows up as a “Customer Favorite” in Forrester’s Q1 2026 DAM Wave cited by CMSWire and also appears repeatedly in Gartner peer-rating views, a rare cross-benchmark signal procurement teams can use.
  • 03For organizations with legacy archives, CMSWire’s 20%+ 1990s hard-drive failure-rate reference reframes digitization as a time-bound risk, not a “nice-to-have” project.

OpenAI's GPT-6 Astra pitch is to skip integrations and run the software UI itself

OpenAI's GPT-6 Astra pitch is to skip integrations and run the software UI itself

OpenAI shipped GPT-6 Astra on Sept. 3 with a "computer use" capability that lets the model operate existing software UIs directly instead of requiring custom API integrations. The staged rollout through Daybreak, ChatGPT tiers, and AWS shifts the automation bottleneck from building connectors to governing UI-driven sessions, with speed measured in minutes per task as the cost input.

  • 01Astra operates software via pixels, keyboard, and mouse interactions to bypass API integration work on the long tail of internal tools without clean API access
  • 02OpenAI reported Astra at 40 minutes per task (47% faster than GPT-5.6 Sol at 75 minutes), making task time the practical proxy for compute cost modeling and throughput evaluation
  • 03Enterprises must define governance before broad rollout: eligible workflows for UI automation, audit logging systems, identity and secrets handling, and fallback procedures when UIs change or sessions break
