Arlington, Va., December 11, 2025 — GTT Communications Inc., a leading networking and security as a service provider for multinational organizations, has announced that it has been selected by JYSK, the international home furnishing retailer, as its new global network partner. This partnership is an essential step in JYSK’s digital transformation, creating a high-performance network built on GTT’s global Tier 1 backbone and advanced WAN capabilities. The solution combines Ethernet and Cloud Connect services to deliver secure, low-latency connectivity across stores, warehouses and cloud environments, supporting JYSK’s unified commerce strategy through its ongoing rollout of a single omnichannel platform connecting stores, e-commerce, customer service centers and delivery operations across the globe.

JYSK, part of the family-owned Lars Larsen Group, has grown its business footprint to operate more than 3,600 stores and web shops across 50 countries, with further expansion planned. To underpin this scale, the company is investing more than DKK 2 billion in IT infrastructure, connectivity and cloud initiatives over the coming years. The retailer’s goal is to ensure that every store, employee and customer can experience fast, stable and secure access to JYSK’s systems and data, anytime and everywhere.

“This collaboration marks a major milestone in JYSK’s long-term IT and business transformation, ensuring that our digital foundation supports continuous growth, global expansion and the demands of a modern omnichannel retail business,” said Anders Harder, IT Category Manager, JYSK. “GTT has shown flexibility, insight and a genuine partnership approach that aligns well with JYSK’s procurement principles of Partner, Product and Price — and fully supports our corporate values of Tradesman, Colleague and Corporate Spirit.”

JYSK’s network upgrade is a crucial enabler of its unified commerce strategy, ensuring the agility and reliability needed to deliver seamless customer experiences across every channel. By modernizing its digital foundation, JYSK can accelerate point-of-sale transactions, maintain real-time inventory accuracy and support smoother fulfillment options such as order-online-pick-up-in-store and home-delivery flows, all important to upholding the retailer’s customer experience promise.

“Our previous network infrastructure had reached its limits in scalability and performance,” said Klaus Mark, Team Manager IT Network, JYSK. “With GTT, we gain higher bandwidth and stronger redundancy, all while keeping full control and security. The architecture is simple, robust and built for the future.”

The new network will service 29 JYSK markets across Europe and integrate with multiple hyperscalers and security switches through the GTT Envision platform, ensuring a robust and secure foundation for JYSK’s cloud strategy. This integration will help JYSK streamline supply-chain operations, accelerate application rollouts across markets and support future digital retail initiatives.

“JYSK is navigating a highly complex retail landscape, where seamless connectivity across its thousands of locations and cloud environments is key for delivering the best possible service to its customers,” said Tom Homer, Division President Europe, GTT. “Our role is to simplify that complexity with robust, scalable services, and we’re proud to be the trusted networking partner supporting JYSK’s strategic vision for unified commerce and global growth.” Homer emphasized that the partnership is designed to support JYSK’s long-term digital evolution, including its shift to insight-led marketing, modernized store concepts and automation-ready logistics infrastructure.

Austin, TX – July 1, 2025 – M-Files, the leader in AI-powered document management, and Microsoft, today announced a strategic expansion of their long-standing partnership. M-Files will now use Microsoft 365 and its API-only service, SharePoint Embedded1, to unlock native Microsoft 365 capabilities for M-Files AI-curated content, including agentic experiences delivered by Microsoft 365 Copilot and M-Files Aino2. This deepened collaboration marks a fundamental shift in how customers manage enterprise content.

This first-of-its-kind, unified offering from M-Files and Microsoft 365 addresses major pain points for both business and IT users. Unlike legacy document management tools that limit AI effectiveness due to poor content quality, fragment information governance, and create siloed systems that increase administrative burden, M-Files and Microsoft 365 now give customers a centralized, scalable environment to retrieve documents with high precision, manage content throughout its lifecycle, and utilize AI for critical business workflows. Documents are now easier to extract insights from, collaborate on and govern—boosting efficiency and effectiveness while reducing risk.

Customers will realize significant benefits including:
●
Confidence in generative AI results that are grounded in accurate, relevant, and trusted content: M-Files and Microsoft 365 deliver meticulously classified, high-value enterprise content. Microsoft 365 Copilot natively extends to M-Files AI-curated content, enhancing output and creating the foundation for broad AI adoption.
●
Higher productivity via native Microsoft 365 co-authoring and collaboration capabilities for M-Files users: Customers avoid content silos and streamline end-user workflows across business processes and document lifecycles, including industry content such as client engagement deliverables, technical product specifications and asset management plans.
●
Unified security & compliance, with built-in, automated content governance and permissions: M-Files secure content remains within the Microsoft 365 security boundary, applying additional organization-wide compliance and governance policies defined by Microsoft Purview3.
●
Maximized ROI for existing and future Microsoft 365 investments: For the first time ever, customers can select a best-of-breed document management solution without sacrificing standardization with Microsoft. By choosing M-Files as the pre-built solution for industry-specific use cases, organizations avoid costly custom development and benefit from future joint innovation with Microsoft.
For customers, the benefits are already clear.

“We chose M-Files because of their impressive technology and strong foundation for AI innovation and integrations with Microsoft 365,” said Adrian Logan, Head of Digital Transformation at PKF Francis Clark. “The ability to use native Microsoft 365 capabilities in M-
Files makes M-Files even more valuable to us now and in the future. We are confident that we made the right choice and will continue to use M-Files and Microsoft together to drive our business forward.”

“M-Files brings tremendous value to the Microsoft ecosystem through deep industry expertise and purpose-built business use cases,” said Jeff Teper, President – Microsoft 365 Collaborative Apps and Platforms. “This revolutionary offering, the first-of-its kind built on SharePoint Embedded, combines Microsoft’s collaborative platform with M-Files’ business-centric processes and scaled document management to deliver a solution that’s greater than the sum of its parts. Together, we’re unlocking the full potential of Microsoft 365 investments for our customers.”

“This partnership marks a pivotal moment for M-Files and the industry,” said Jay Bhatt, CEO of M-Files. “As the first document management system to use both Microsoft 365 and its API-only service, SharePoint Embedded, we have fundamentally changed how enterprise content is managed and accessed at scale. This isn’t just another integration—it’s a native solution, built over months of collaboration, that combines M-Files’ strengths in metadata-driven automation and AI with Microsoft’s powerful collaboration, security, and Copilot capabilities.

Arlington, Va., June 5, 2025 — GTT Communications Inc., a leader in networking and security as a service for multinational organizations, today released a new Cloud Usage and Management Trends white paper based on industry survey findings. The paper reveals a resurgence in private cloud adoption, primarily driven by rising privacy, security and compliance requirements, with AI workloads emerging as a fast-growing contributor to this shift.

Conducted by Hanover Research, the survey shows that in the era of advanced AI, concerns around data privacy, security and regulatory compliance are naturally top of mind for enterprise leaders. These priorities, alongside a growing need to safely test and deploy AI models, are driving a resurgence in private cloud adoption as organizations seek greater control over where and how sensitive data is handled.

“We know many companies are now shifting their sensitive workloads to private clouds as part of broader multi-cloud and hybrid strategies designed to support agentic AI and other complex AI initiatives at scale,” said Bastien Aerni, VP of Strategy and Technology Adoption, GTT. “This distributed approach allows enterprises to balance performance, security and compliance requirements while optimizing costs to advance their AI ambitions.”

According to survey respondents, private cloud spending at the $10M+ per year level will increase from 43% in 2024 to 53.6% in 2025, reflecting a 24% growth rate, compared to just 12% growth in public cloud spending for these same cohorts. More than half of all AI workloads already reside in a combination of private cloud and on-premises environments, driven primarily by enhanced security (56%), compliance and regulatory demands (51%) and the specific needs of AI workloads (50%). Cost remains a factor but ranks much lower at 35%.

As enterprises adopt hybrid strategies to support more complex AI workloads, many encounter challenges spanning both public and private cloud environments. For public cloud deployments, challenges around migration of apps and data and technical skills or feasibility are the highest ranking at 43%. When migrating workloads to private clouds, the top challenges – each cited by 38% of respondents – are managing apps post-migration, securing hybrid environments and, once again, a lack of technical skills or feasibility.

“Enterprise infrastructure strategies are evolving fast as AI workloads surpass the limits of traditional architectures,” Aerni continued. “Organizations are refining their cloud environments, whether public, private or hybrid, to support their AI initiatives at scale. But many still underestimate the complexity involved. In our experience, without reengineering connectivity and security architectures, even the most ambitious private cloud strategies can fall short.”
