Hewlett Packard Enterprise](https://g2x.com/app/companies/EFAJMASTF3J7) Hewlett Packard Enterprise supplies the compute, networking, storage and hybrid-cloud infrastructure behind enterprise technology environments. Its portfolio extends from data-center systems to distributed operations, giving the company a role in both conventional IT modernization and the infrastructure needed to run AI workloads. HPE’s latest server announcement introduces four ProLiant Gen13 systems powered by sixth-generation AMD EPYC processors. The designs address different needs: dense GPU-supported inference, high-throughput single-socket computing, and rack-scale systems with shared power and cooling. HPE also describes new security and management capabilities for protecting systems and controlling high-impact administrative actions. The announcement is an enterprise product development, with performance, security and operational management at its center. ### Sources [Company overview and updates](https://www.hpe.com/us/en/home.html) — Hewlett Packard Enterprise.

Booz Allen Hamilton](https://g2x.com/app/companies/JCBMLGPE6Z71) Booz Allen Hamilton combines consulting, engineering and technology work for government missions, including defense, intelligence and civilian programs. Its current AUSA showcase illustrates the company’s emphasis on putting software and computing tools into operational settings where connectivity and deployment conditions can be difficult. For the upcoming Army gathering, Booz Allen is presenting technology for shared situational awareness, mobile command and control, counter-unmanned systems and computing at the tactical edge. Examples include Sit(x), which connects people and mission data, and the Modular Detachment Kit, which combines sensor and data-link information in a mobile command-and-control system. The program also includes governance and compliance tooling. These are planned product demonstrations, offering a concrete view of the company’s technical work beyond its consulting identity. ### Sources [Company overview and updates](https://www.boozallen.com/) — Booz Allen Hamilton.

The broader organization supports defense, intelligence, health, technology and logistics missions, with business activity tied to the Cherokee Nation’s economic purpose. The Directory profile identifies the individual company, while the leadership developments concern the wider Cherokee Federal organization. Tom Watson became president of Cherokee Federal on October 1 after leading Serco’s North American business. The organization has also announced Terri Malone as chief growth officer, effective October 13. Her remit covers enterprise growth strategy, including business development, capture and proposals. Together, the appointments describe a leadership transition across the portfolio rather than a separate announcement by Cherokee Federal Solutions. ### Sources [Company overview and updates](https://www.cherokee-federal.com/who-we-are) — Cherokee Federal Solutions.

Its work includes modernizing government systems and the operational processes those systems support. The company’s new AI Agent Catalog, developed with Amazon Web Services, organizes use cases for areas such as cyber defense, fraud detection, benefits processing and back-office work. It also provides tooling for creating agents, paired with governance advisory services and oversight of their activity. CGI Federal presents the catalog as part of its broader governed-AI portfolio, alongside modernization tools such as CGI Yukon. The emphasis is on applying automation within agency workflows while retaining human judgment and visibility into what agents do. ### Sources [Company overview and updates](https://www.cgi.com/us/en-us/federal) — CGI Federal.

Atlassian](https://g2x.com/app/companies/YAJ8XGJ286C4) Atlassian makes collaboration and work-management software used by teams to plan projects, develop software, share knowledge and support services. Its current platform direction puts AI agents into those same workflows, with shared organizational context and controls over what each participant can do. The company has introduced Agentic Multiplayer Protocol, or AMP, as a foundation for human-agent collaboration. It connects agent identity and scoped authority with tasks, context and reviewable results. Atlassian’s announcement also describes code search across connected repositories and broader access to structured business data through its Teamwork Graph. Some identity-management controls are still forthcoming. The change is a platform-level effort to make agents part of governed team work, with permissions and context as important as the model itself. ### Sources [Company overview and updates](https://www.atlassian.com/) — Atlassian.

Its Ceebit platform combines visual workflows, code generation and AI orchestration to support application development and modernization. In a recent company update, Inadev emphasized Ceebit’s governance, security controls and visibility into AI activity. That message builds on the platform’s availability through AWS Marketplace and its ability to route work across different models, services and enterprise data. The company describes a model-agnostic approach, allowing teams to weigh performance, cost and governance requirements without committing every task to one AI model. The current focus is how automation fits into controlled enterprise delivery, not simply how much code it can generate. ### Sources [Company overview and updates](https://www.inadev.com/) — Inadev.

Its platforms combine data context with applications and deployment tools, serving government and commercial users. The company’s new partnership with Armada brings Palantir’s Sovereign AI Operating System to modular data centers controlled by the customer. The proposed stack combines Palantir software with Armada’s infrastructure and management layer, including support for open-weight models and workloads that may need to operate without an external cloud connection. The companies describe deployments manufactured in the United States and allied countries, with options for air-gapped operation. The announcement centers on customer control over models, data and hardware rather than a conventional hosted-cloud arrangement. ### Sources [Company overview and updates](https://www.palantir.com/about/) — Palantir Technologies.

Amazon Web Services](https://g2x.com/app/companies/NQEWN6C1LSU5) Amazon Web Services provides cloud computing infrastructure and services for applications, data and AI. Alongside the underlying resources, AWS offers tools for evaluating how systems are configured and where changes could improve cost, security, performance or reliability. Its new Well-Architected Agent is available in preview through AWS Support. The service combines application topology, metrics and infrastructure-code analysis to prioritize recommendations against a team’s business goals. Where applicable, it supplies scripts, runbooks or code changes to help implement a recommendation. Access is offered in Northern Virginia, Ohio and Oregon, with workloads onboarded from AWS commercial regions and an AWS Support plan required. The preview concerns commercial-region workloads; it is not an announcement of GovCloud availability. ### Sources [Company overview and updates](https://aws.amazon.com/) — Amazon Web Services.

IBM](https://g2x.com/app/companies/J64CSQTQNRC1) IBM provides hybrid-cloud and AI technology, infrastructure and consulting services. Its work with Red Hat also reaches into the open-source software that organizations depend on to operate business and mission applications. The companies’ latest Lightwell announcement reports remediation of more than 400 previously unknown vulnerabilities in widely used Java libraries and introduces general availability of Lightwell Clearinghouse. The service gives enterprise customers a way to request priority review and fixes for specific open-source dependencies. A central part of the approach is backporting fixes to software versions already in use, then delivering them through repositories that fit existing development and testing processes. The update focuses on repairing dependencies without requiring organizations to replace their surrounding security tools or delivery pipelines. ### Sources [Company overview and updates](https://www.ibm.com/about) — IBM.
