“The companies that are developing their people-generated muscles right now are the ones that are going to be strong and resilient for that new era.”

In this episode of 10 Minute Martech, Heike Young, consultant, speaker and content creator, joins host Sara Faatz to explore the future of content marketing in an AI-driven world.

From storytelling and innovation to audience-first content creation, Heike makes the case that, while technology will continue to evolve, the marketers who succeed will be the ones who double down on the uniquely human skills that AI cannot replicate.

Organizations need to modernize faster than ever. Cloud applications are transforming analytics, customer experiences and core business systems, but legacy infrastructure isn’t disappearing overnight. The reality for most businesses is a hybrid environment where cloud platforms, on-premises systems and external partners must all work together.

This reality was the focus of a recent Progress webinar on agent-based file transfer and how Progress Automate MFT is designed to support distributed file workflows. Rather than requiring a large-scale transformation, the discussion centered on a practical approach to modernization: centralized orchestration with execution that happens where it makes the most sense.

Kentico Xperience 13 migration is now a time-bound CMS decision for banks and credit unions. It affects more than page migration. The choice can change how marketing publishes, how developers manage reusable work, how IT governs the environment and how compliance reviews digital content.

For some financial institutions, moving to Xperience by Kentico will be the practical path. A clean Kentico 13 implementation, a strong Kentico partner and a marketing group already working well in the Kentico ecosystem may make that route sensible. But it should be an evaluated decision, not an automatic one.

The key question is not only, “What replaces Kentico 13?” It is:

Which CMS gives our bank or credit union the best operating model after the migration?...

If you built on Ragie, you made a reasonable bet: fast API integration, solid multimodal support and developer-friendly onboarding. We expect finding out it's shutting down mid-build is a genuine pain. But forced migrations have a way of surfacing the limitations you'd quietly worked around: per-user pricing that was starting to add up, no built-in retrieval quality evaluation and compliance requirements you'd been deferring.

That changes for you with the Progress Agentic RAG solution. You get Python and JavaScript SDKs, a REST API, 30+ retrieval strategies and REMi: a built-in evaluation model that automatically scores every output for relevance, context and groundedness. Migrating isn't starting over—it's a port with real upgrades included. The rest of this guide walks through what that transition actually looks like....

I recently saw a post talking about Home Depot’s new suite of AI tools for shoppers. It got me thinking:

We already have AI powering much of our omnichannel marketing capabilities behind the scenes. Are we taking things too far by incorporating user-facing AI features into the omnichannel experience?

In other words, are we adding AI on the frontend because we assume it’ll be just as beneficial to them as it is to us? Or are there real advantages to equipping users with their own set of AI technologies throughout their journey?

Ontology management and knowledge graph design skills are back in demand, largely driven by AI. LLMs are powerful, but they struggle to consistently understand domain-specific concepts and stay aligned to business rules. AI agents amplify this challenge because they act on that understanding. Ontologies help address these gaps by providing structure, shared meaning, context and constraints, so systems stay aligned and decisions remain sound.

Open your firewall logs. Filter for outbound TLS connections from the server hosting your “on-premises” file transfer setup to anything in your vendor’s cloud range. Count them. If the number surprises you, the architecture you bought and the architecture you’re running aren’t the same thing.

If you don’t have firewall logs that capture this, that’s the first finding.

People can be so quick to write off brands these days. All it takes is a split-second decision about how the brand doesn’t meet their needs or is misaligned with their values before they’re onto the next.

With search engines sending less traffic to websites thanks to AI, paid links and all the other stuff added to search results pages, it’s absolutely critical that people who visit your site are instantly impressed by it. So, the first impression has to really be on point. In this post, we’re going to talk about the hero section and best practices for designing an effective one.

Across industries, critical data lives everywhere: legacy systems, cloud platforms, SaaS applications, and increasingly, hybrid architectures. But when that data can’t be accessed quickly and reliably, initiatives like analytics, automation and AI stall before they even begin.

That’s why Progress DataDirect is partnering with Softpi to expand access to high-performance data connectivity across Italy and Spain.

But this partnership isn’t just about distribution—it’s about solving a very real problem organizations face every day.

The Challenge: Data Everywhere, But Hard to Use


Modern organizations often rely on a mix of:

• Cloud...

The applications that power orders, inventory, production, and traceability have to work every time. When they don’t, the impact is immediate: delayed shipments, missed commitments, and lost revenue.

That’s why many manufacturers continue to rely on the Progress OpenEdge platform—not just as another system, but as the operational backbone that keeps everything running.

The Systems That Actually Run the Business


Manufacturing systems aren’t built overnight. They evolve over years—sometimes decades—shaped by real production requirements, edge cases, and business rules that can’t be easily replicated.

Over time, these systems become more than software. They reflect how the business actually operates.

That’s also why replacing them is rarely simple....
