PALO ALTO, Calif. & LONDON — Uniphore, the Business AI company, today launched the Uniphore Business AI Cloud: a sovereign, composable, and secure platform that bridges the 'AI divide' between IT and business users by combining the simplicity of consumer AI with enterprise-grade security and scalability.

While AI technologies rapidly reshape the enterprise, there has been little focus on deploying AI in a way that empowers CIOs to scale it securely across the organization while enabling business users to intuitively access AI with the full power of enterprise data, integrations, and context. IT and business must be united through a single AI platform to fulfill AI's promise as a transformative force for business.

Breaking Through the Barriers to Enterprise AI
Article content
Despite a slate of AI platforms and applications, AI adoption in business still faces significant friction. The Business AI Cloud was purpose-built to address the four biggest blockers to enterprise AI adoption:
Article content
The Data Layer Bottleneck: Finding data that is disorganized and transforming and preparing data for use by AI is still heavily manual, time-consuming, and fragmented, slowing down deployment and making AI harder to scale.
Data Sovereignty: Global enterprises need a singular architecture across cloud, multi-cloud, or on-premises.
Disconnected AI Ownership Between IT and Business: IT typically owns AI infrastructure and strategy, but AI experience needs to sit with business. Current AI platforms don't allow rapid adoption by business users.
Rip-and-Replace Requirements: Most AI platforms lack compatibility with the existing enterprise technology stack and require significant changes to deploy.
Article content
'Most AI solutions today were built for consumers or researchers, not for enterprises,' said Umesh Sachdev, CEO and Co-founder of Uniphore. 'Uniphore Business AI Cloud changes that. We've brought together four critical layers of the AI stack: data, knowledge, models, and agents. CIOs can now deploy AI securely at scale, retaining ownership of AI governance, while enabling business users to drive the experience and the value.'

'Only Lean Teams Remaining': Intel Stock (NASDAQ:INTC) Slips as Intel Outsources Marketing
Imagine my surprise to discover that, last year, almost to the day, I made the joke that I was about to make here today. There, I pointed out a Dilbert strip that noted that cutting 'marcom', or marketing / communications, is part of a 'death spiral' for businesses. Chip stock Intel (INTC) decided to let history repeat itself nearly 11 months later by outsourcing its marketing department altogether. Intel shares dropped similarly to what happened the last time they cut marketing, and lost modestly in Friday afternoon's trading. Confident Investing Starts Here: Easily unpack a company's performance with TipRanks' new KPI Data for smart investment decisions Receive undervalued, market resilient stocks right to your inbox with TipRanks' Smart Value Newsletter Back in August 2024, Intel was planning to cut its marketing department as part of a move to cut costs, a move that has only expanded with the arrival of CEO Lip-Bu Tan. And now, the cuts continue, as Intel moves its marketing operations to Accenture (ACN). As it turns out, Intel will be turning to a combination of Accenture and artificial intelligence (AI) to do the job. Worse, Intel believes that Accenture will '…do a better job connecting with customers than Intel's own marketing organization has,' reports suggest, which is absolutely not a phrase you want on your resume. The result? 'The transition of our marketing and operations functions will result in significant changes to team structures, including potential headcount reductions, with only lean teams remaining,' noted a statement from Intel. There is also a possibility that some elements of Intel's marketing will be obliged to train their replacements. Another Price Cut As bad as the news was for Intel's marketing operations, it did get better for Intel's customer base. Reports noted that Intel had once again cut prices on the Core Ultra 7 265KF processor. This is the second such cut in as many months, reports note. The processor is now not only priced at its lowest level ever, but is now 40% cheaper than it was when it first hit shelves. The downside, for those considering a processor buy, is that the F variants—of which this is one—does not include a graphics processing unit (GPU) included. Thus, those using this processor will need a separate graphics card to go with it. Still, with that kind of price cut, a better graphics card could be added to the list for about the same price, and potentially, some savings as well. Is Intel a Buy, Hold or Sell? Turning to Wall Street, analysts have a Hold consensus rating on INTC stock based on one Buy, 26 Holds and four Sells assigned in the past three months, as indicated by the graphic below. After a 30.88% loss in its share price over the past year, the average INTC price target of $21.30 per share implies 0.35% upside potential.

‘IBM Stock Is an AI Winner,' Says Wedbush Analyst Dan Ives
Tech giant IBM (IBM) continues to win praise on Wall Street as analysts grow increasingly bullish on its long-term potential. Indeed, four-star Wedbush analyst Daniel Ives raised his price target on the stock from $300 to $325 while maintaining an Outperform rating. Ives named IBM one of the top software stocks to own as artificial intelligence adoption accelerates, calling it an ' AI winner' on his IVES AI 30 list. Despite its strong stock performance so far in 2025, Ives believes that IBM is still underowned and only in the early stages of a multi-year growth renaissance driven by AI. Confident Investing Starts Here: Easily unpack a company's performance with TipRanks' new KPI Data for smart investment decisions Receive undervalued, market resilient stocks right to your inbox with TipRanks' Smart Value Newsletter Adding to this optimism, Bank of America and Evercore ISI also recently raised their price targets on IBM due to the company's ongoing transformation. BofA's five-star analyst, Wamsi Mohan, boosted his target to $320 from $290, arguing that IBM is no longer the 'value trap' some investors remember from its pre-2020 days. Instead, IBM has restructured its software segment by acquiring higher-growth businesses and shedding slower, cost-heavy operations, which are moves that should lead to stronger revenue growth going forward. Similarly, Evercore ISI raised its price target from $275 to $315 and now expects mid-to-high single-digit revenue growth and double-digit earnings and free cash flow growth in the next few years. According to five-star analyst Amit Daryanani, IBM could generate $16–$18 per share in annual earnings within three years. With market sentiment and valuation multiples improving, all three firms agree that IBM is well-positioned to benefit from the next phase of enterprise AI and cloud expansion. What Is the Target Price for IBM? Turning to Wall Street, analysts have a Moderate Buy consensus rating on IBM stock based on seven Buys, five Holds, and two Sells assigned in the past three months, as indicated by the graphic below. Furthermore, the average IBM price target of $267.54 per share implies 5% downside risk. See more IBM analyst ratings

Here's Why Wall Street Is Bullish on AI Stock Vertiv Holdings (VRT)
Vertiv Holdings (VRT) stock has recovered strongly from the lows seen in April and has risen more than 11% over the past month, as concerns about a slowdown in AI (artificial intelligence) spending have eased. VRT stock has rallied more than 30% in the past year. The data center infrastructure company is gaining from the strong demand for its energy-efficient cooling and power solutions that are required to support the ongoing AI boom. Confident Investing Starts Here: Vertiv: Riding the AI Wave Vertiv impressed investors with solid Q1 earnings beat. The company's Q1 2025 revenue grew 24%, while adjusted EPS (earnings per share) increased by about 49%. The AI infrastructure company also raised its full-year guidance, reflecting confidence in navigating macro challenges and mitigating the impact of tariffs announced by the Trump administration. 'Our partnership with Nvidia continues to place us at the heart of industrial-scale AI factory deployments,' said VRT CEO Giordano Albertazzi. Recently, Vertiv further strengthened its collaboration with chip giant Nvidia (NVDA) and announced an energy-efficient 142kW cooling and power reference architecture for the latter's GB300 NVL72 platform. Overall, VRT is confident about its growth ahead, with a 10% rise in Q1 2025 backlog to $7.9 billion compared to the end of 2024. Analysts Raise Price Target for VRT Stock on AI Demand Recently, Bank of America analyst Andrew Obin reiterated a Buy rating on Vertiv stock and increased the price target to $140 (17.8% upside potential) from $135. The 5-star analyst emphasized that the rapid advancement of AI is transforming the data center infrastructure landscape, driving robust demand for power, cooling, and advanced hardware. BofA expects data center spending to grow at a 13% CAGR (compound annual growth rate) from 2024 to 2028, reaching $532 billion. In fact, he expects infrastructure-related spending to climb at an even faster 16% CAGR. Notably, Obin believes that Vertiv, Eaton (ETN), and Johnson Controls (JCI) are well-positioned to leverage the shift toward high-density racks and advanced cooling solutions like direct-to-chip liquid cooling. He also named GE Vernova (GEV) as a top pick in the power generation space, citing its potential to meet rising demand. With only 5% of existing data centers equipped to handle AI workloads, Obin expects a massive upgrade cycle ahead. Also, with AI-driven demand showing no signs of slowing, Obin is upbeat about these stocks. Meanwhile, Citi analyst Andrew Kaplowitz increased the price target for VRT stock to $130 (9.4% upside potential) from $98 and reaffirmed a Buy rating. Following a meeting with the management, the 5-star analyst stated that he is confident that Vertiv remains well-positioned for huge industrial market outgrowth, thanks to durable AI/data center-related growth (Citi forecasts overall global data center IT load growth at 14% CAGR through 2030) and its focus on innovation. Kaplowitz also highlighted VRT's efforts to mitigate tariff headwinds over time. Citing the possibility for margin expansion, strong underlying fundamentals, and increased confidence in improving performance, Kaplowitz increased the EV/EBITDA target multiple for VRT stock to 21x from 16x. Is VRT a Good Stock to Buy? Overall, Vertiv Holdings stock scores a Strong Buy consensus rating based on 12 Buys and two Holds. The average VRT stock price target of $116.93 indicates a possible downside of 1.6% from current levels, following the strong rally over the past year.
