Laserfiche Recognized as a Leader in 2026 Gartner® Magic Quadrant™ for Document Management

 LONG BEACH, Calif. - 

Laserfiche named a Leader for the second consecutive time based on its Completeness of Vision and Ability to Execute

(BUSINESS WIRE) -- Laserfiche — the leading SaaS provider of intelligent content management — has been positioned as a Leader in the 2026 Magic Quadrant for Document Management. Laserfiche believes this recognition underscores the company’s commitment to empowering organizations to transform complex, operational business processes through AI-powered content management.

“It’s incredible to see Laserfiche recognized during the same week as our annual Empower conference, where we announced our latest agentic AI capabilities,” said Thomas Phelps, senior vice president of corporate strategy and chief information officer at Laserfiche. “We believe being positioned as a Leader — and receiving the highest overall rating among 16 vendors in Gartner Peer Insights, with a 4.7 out of 5.0 based on over 1,300 reviews as of April 30, 2026 — reflects our relentless focus on product innovation and delivering value to our customers.”

As the document management market continues to evolve and expand, the ability to bridge the gap between static content and actionable enterprise intelligence has become a defining competitive advantage. In the report, Gartner noted, “A key challenge for organizations is harnessing the potential of unstructured data (content) using AI, while simultaneously mitigating risks through robust control and governance.”

Governance-first AI Innovation

Laserfiche continues to accelerate its product capabilities to meet the demands of modern IT environments, focusing on features that turn structured and unstructured content into an enterprise asset. These features prioritize the rigorous information governance, security and compliance standards required by the world’s most demanding industries, including government, financial services and manufacturing.

The platform now features advanced AI-enabled data extraction via Smart Fields, the Smart Chat AI assistant, improved metadata experiences, and enhanced data lookups, all designed to optimize content, making it structured, accessible and ready for AI consumption.

The company’s roadmap includes the expansion of Laserfiche AI Agents functionality including the ability to embed agentic tasks directly into workflows, and the ability to run Agents in the background, monitoring the system for the specified conditions and then completing tasks ambiently. Laserfiche will also introduce additional security advancements in Q3 of 2026. These updates will further solidify Laserfiche’s ability to support highly regulated industries with secure, governed AI deployment.

“Laserfiche has served as the backbone of our finance operations for years, delivering the stability and granular governance we require for our critical documentation,” said Desiree Champaco, VP of information technology and supply chain at Diamond of California. “As Diamond optimizes how we work with suppliers, production partners and customers, Laserfiche’s AI capabilities will play a larger role in how we capture, deliver and leverage accurate, reliable data.”

“As a Top Digital City, Scottsdale is dedicated to using world-class technology to provide our residents with a responsive, modern experience,” said Bianca Lochner, chief information officer for the City of Scottsdale. “Laserfiche has been a collaborative partner in our digital evolution, providing a secure framework to transform complex data into better citizen services.

TACTICA AI Introduces Region’s First AI Platform for Mission-Critical, Real-Time Operational Decisions

 Built on deep tech developed by TII, TACTICA AI moves beyond dashboards to help decision-makers turn fragmented intelligence, sensor, and operational data into action

Showcased during Make it in the Emirates 2026, the platform has already been validated through real-world deployments in mission-critical environments

Built in Abu Dhabi, connected globally, TACTICA AI integrates partnerships with French-based Safran and Polish-based Satim

TACTICA AI, an Abu Dhabi-based start-up, today introduced its multi-domain decision-support platform to a wider market during Make it in the Emirates 2026. At a time of increasing operational complexity and pressure to make faster, better-informed decisions, the platform is designed to transform fragmented intelligence, sensor, and operational data into real-time decisions.

Already active in operational environments, TACTICA AI is believed to be the first publicly known platform of its type developed in the region, creating a new category of operational AI that goes beyond dashboards, data feeds, and analytics tools to support decision-making at the mission layer. The underlying technology was developed by the Technology Innovation Institute (TII), the applied research pillar of Abu Dhabi’s Advanced Technology Research Council (ATRC) in less than 35 days and has already supported real-world deployments in mission-critical environments. The platform is designed to help organizations move from data to decisions with greater speed, coordination, and confidence.

The platform brings together GEOINT, or geospatial intelligence, which uses satellite imagery, radar, maps, and location-based data to understand what is happening on the ground; and OSINT, or open-source intelligence, which draws on publicly available information to provide wider context. It also integrates data from video feeds, sensors, IoT systems, and historical records. TACTICA AI then applies agentic AI orchestration to define the mission outcome first, before dynamically identifying which data sources, tools, models, or workflows are needed to support action. This approach fundamentally changes how operators interact with complex systems.

Unlike conventional systems that depend on static dashboards or manual analysis, TACTICA AI enables outcome-driven tasking, where the platform helps determine what needs to be achieved, not simply which sensor or provider should be used. This creates a unified operational picture across teams, domains, and data sources, bridging the gap between analysis, decision, and execution, while maintaining human-in-the-loop oversight for critical decisions.

Dr. Najwa Aaraj, CEO of TII, said: “TACTICA AI reflects the next phase of sovereign AI: systems that do not simply process information, but strengthen the ability to act on it. In complex environments, speed and clarity can define outcomes. By developing a mission-first decision-support platform in Abu Dhabi, TII is advancing technologies that serve real operational needs while reinforcing national capability, resilience, and independence.”

TACTICA AI has been designed for use across priority sectors, including defense and national security, crisis and emergency response, critical infrastructure, smart cities and mobility, energy and utilities, environment and sustainability, and industrial and logistics operations.

The platform integrates proprietary AI models originating from TII’s research ecosystem with best-in-class third-party models and technologies. Its architecture is designed to integrate technologies from multiple providers, rather than locking users into one supplier or system. It supports natural-language interaction, reasoning, and action; digitizes and structures standard operating procedures; assists analysts and operators in real time; and enables human-in-the-loop validation for responsible operational decision-making.

Dr. Chaouki Kasmi, on behalf of TACTICA AI, said: “TACTICA AI changes the operating model from ‘show me the data’ to ‘help me decide what to do next.’ It brings intelligence, tasking, workflows, and AI agents into a single decision layer, while remaining deployable on existing infrastructure. This is not a dashboard or an analytics tool — it is an operational capability designed to support real decisions in demanding environments.”

The result is a platform that can help organizations reduce manual burden, remove silos, and coordinate action across complex environments.

TACTICA AI has already established partnerships with leading geospatial imagery analysis players, including French-based Safran and Polish-based Satim, strengthening its ability to integrate advanced capabilities across the global intelligence and operational technology ecosystem.

The platform can also be deployed with high-performance computing infrastructure in containerized environments, creating a mobile GEOINT decision-support capability designed for operational settings where speed, resilience, and flexibility are critical.

The public introduction of TACTICA AI reinforces Abu Dhabi’s growing role as a testbed for applied intelligence and advanced technology, where frontier research is translated into operational capability. By combining data fusion, AI agents, mission-first tasking, and workflow digitalization, TACTICA AI is designed to help decision-makers act with greater precision in environments where time, coordination, and clarity matter most.

Doha Debates Podcast Examines the Global Questions Shaping Society

 Doha, Qatar - Tuesday, 05. May 2026

Weekly Tuesday releases from January 6 through June 2 extend conversations from Doha Debates’ flagship debates and global town halls

 

Qatar Foundation’s Doha Debates continues the rollout of its weekly Doha Debates Podcast episodes, airing every Tuesday through June 2. Since launching on January 6, the season has brought leading global thinkers into direct conversation on the defining questions of our time.

The Doha Debates Podcast extends themes first explored in Doha Debates’ flagship debates and town halls, offering deeper, sustained exchanges that connect disciplines, regions and worldviews through open, truth-seeking dialogue.

The latest episode, “Do conspiracy theories have any value?”, moderated by Dareen Abughaida, brings together Heather Berlin, Alex Berenson, Nuurrianti Jalli and Andrea Kitta to examine the growing influence of conspiracy theories, misinformation and so-called “fake news” in shaping public discourse.

Conspiracy theories used to be dismissed as paranoid fringe thinking. But in recent years, they’ve migrated to the mainstream. Claims about election meddling, public health and the deep state circulate on the internet and are even repeated by government officials.

This episode asks whether conspiracy theories have any actual value in a world where uncertainty is high and institutional accountability is low. Do they only make the spread of misinformation and disinformation worse? Or are they a way for people to express real suspicion toward systems that often feel hidden or unaccountable?

Heather Berlin points to the cognitive roots of conspiracy thinking, explaining, “Such narratives are inherently appealing because they create a sense of order and closure, making complex or uncertain realities feel coherent and understandable.”

Nuurrianti Jalli highlights the role of digital platforms in amplifying and sustaining these narratives, noting, “Conspiracy-driven content fuels engagement on these platforms, directly contributing to their advertising revenue.”

Upcoming episodes this season cover themes including social justice movements, resistance, contemporary art, childlessness and football, each exploring how cultural, social and political shifts are reshaping societies and identities.

Additional debates will continue to examine how information ecosystems, media narratives and emerging technologies are influencing public opinion, trust and collective identity in an increasingly complex global landscape.

Together, the season reflects Doha Debates’ commitment to creating space for thoughtful, truth-seeking dialogue—where complex issues can be explored with depth, nuance and a diversity of perspectives.

“Do conspiracy theories have any value?” is available now, along with all episodes released this season, across major podcast platforms, on YouTube and at DohaDebates.com.
