When your workday needs a little more rhythm. 💃

Our Jaipur office took a break from the usual routine for a Zumba session with a professional trainer. Moving, dancing and recharging together.

Because sometimes wellbeing at work is about turning up the music. 🔥

When Fosway benchmarked AI in learning systems this year, one number stood out even to us.

Across People, Systems and Architecture, the part of the model covering how a learning platform connects to the rest of an organization's tech stack, we came in 157% above market average. Up 95% on last year.

Two areas did most of that work. Extended Enterprise, which covers training reaching past employees to partners, dealers and customers. And Wider Ecosystem, how the platform connects to what an organization already runs day to day.

We didn't build either of those because a benchmark told us to. Distributed teams and multi-company training needs have been part of how we think about learning for years. Being independently validated for it is confirmation, not the reason we did it.

This reflects our submission from the end of 2025, and we're already partway through this year's assessment with fresh data behind us.

Fascinating!

At Mastercard, employees who took on a short-term project or mentoring opportunity through an AI-matching tool went on to be promoted or change roles a third of the time 💡

Not because the AI made the decision. It just noticed something a busy manager might have missed... someone with the right skills sitting a few teams over.

That's part of what AI in talent management is turning into. Pointing people toward opportunities nobody had time to spot. Showing up across hiring, skills, learning, performance, career moves, and workforce planning.

But, as usual, it's only as good as the data fed to it and the people behind it, checking it for bias and making sure everyone understands what's happening to their information.

We put together a longer look at all six areas, including what to weigh up before adopting any of it.

Onboarding data and skills data usually live in different systems. A new hire's first few months generate plenty of both, but by the time anyone connects them, that person isn't new anymore, and the gaps they still have are old news.

Onboarding processes, corporate training software, and skills gap analysis each hold a piece of the picture, and the reporting that comes out of them never lines up.

This is the case for employee onboarding and upskilling integration: one platform, one dataset, one line from "just joined" to "ready for what's next."

Valamis connects onboarding, training, and skills growth in a single learning management system. The same records that track a new hire's early progress feed directly into their skills profile, so gaps show up while they're still cheap to fix, and show up in one report instead of three.

For global teams, this is also an HR technology integration problem. Every employee development platform you run separately is another login, another admin, and another dataset that doesn't reconcile with the others when someone asks what's actually working.

Onboarding, training, and upskilling were never really separate problems. Treating them that way is what fragments the answer, and the case you can make with it.

Enterprise AI agents do not log in. They call data. 📊

If your organization is rolling out agents in Copilot Studio or Agentforce, sooner or later, one of them will need to know who is certified for what, and what expires when. That data lives in the LMS and almost nowhere else. Most learning platforms cannot answer without a human opening a browser.

Our CEO Jussi wrote about why the LMS interface is becoming a side door, and what has to be true architecturally for learning data to be callable.

It's worth a read if AI agents are anywhere on your roadmap. Check the comments for the link!

Modernizing operations is only half the work. The workforce has to keep pace.

That is the thinking behind Valamis joining the IFS ISV Partner Program. Organizations running IFS Cloud can now bring training, certifications, and compliance into the same ecosystem: structured onboarding, mandatory learning at scale, and skills development for employees,
contractors, and partners.

For industries where safety and compliance are mission-critical, learning belongs next to operations. Now it sits there.

Compliance training in manufacturing has a shelf-life problem.

Regulations update. Lines get retooled. A course that was accurate in January is quietly wrong by June, and nobody notices until an audit does.

We've just published a guide on what to look for in an LMS to keep compliance current: version control, role-based assignment, and audit trails that hold up under scrutiny. It also compares the main platforms, including where each one fits best.

Read it all here 👉
