REGASK UNVEILS AI-ASSISTED LABEL COMPLIANCE REVIEW FOR FASTER PRODUCT LAUNCHES

KUALA LUMPUR, Feb 11 (Bernama) -- RegASK, an agentic artificial intelligence (AI) platform, has unveiled its AI-Assisted Label Compliance Review, a transformative capability that delivers comprehensive label compliance checks in seconds.

Label compliance checks, traditionally one of the most time-consuming and risk-prone steps in product commercialisation, can now be performed instantly, enabling faster product launches without compromising regulatory rigour.

RegASK Chief Product & Technology Officer, Amenallah Reghimi said its AI-Assisted Label Review and global regulatory database redefined operational excellence in compliance.

“Teams can now work with unprecedented speed, visibility, and confidence in their everyday compliance workflows,” said Reghimi.

With the new capability, teams can upload packaging artwork and validate it against regulations across key global markets, including the United States, the European Union, the United Kingdom and China.

According to a statement, the system delivers clear compliance assessments with actionable recommendations and pinpoints issues directly on the label using an interactive viewer, with every finding fully traceable through direct hyperlinks to the underlying source regulations.

The launch is supported by enhancements to RegASK’s core infrastructure, including a global regulatory database offering a 360-degree, chronological view of each regulation’s lifecycle. Teams can track changes from initial consultation to amendments and enforcement, ensuring compliance checks are always current.

By compressing review timelines, reducing rework, and eliminating avoidable delays, RegASK’s AI-Assisted Label Compliance Review fundamentally changes how organisations approach product launches, helping teams operate with regulatory compliance.

CLOUDERA POSTS STRONG FY26 RESULTS, ENTERS FY27 WITH AI PLATFORM MOMENTUM

KUALA LUMPUR, Feb 11 (Bernama) -- Cloudera, the data and artificial intelligence (AI) platform company, has reported strong results for fiscal year 2026 (FY26) driven by solid growth, customer wins, expanded partnerships, and continued innovation.

The company closed FY26 with a strong fourth quarter, recording more than 50 per cent year-over-year growth in new and expansion business, robust annual recurring revenue growth, and over 100 per cent new logo growth in the fourth quarter across all regions.

Beginning fiscal year 2027 (FY27) with its annual Sales Kick-Off event, ELEVATE27, Cloudera said the results reflect rising enterprise demand for flexible and secure data and AI platforms that operate seamlessly across clouds, data centres and edge environments.

“This was a defining year for Cloudera. We delivered strong performance, expanded our ecosystem, and continued to innovate across our platform, all while staying true to our mission of bringing AI to data anywhere.

“As enterprises increasingly demand secure, flexible AI across all their environments, Cloudera is uniquely positioned to help them turn their data into trusted insights at scale. We are entering FY27 with strong momentum and an even stronger roadmap,” said Cloudera Chief Executive Officer, Charles Sansbury in a statement.

Cloudera said its momentum is underpinned by its ability to enable organisations to bring AI to data wherever it resides, helping enterprises unlock insights, strengthen security, improve efficiency and support mission-critical outcomes.

As its third acquisition in two years, the company’s acquisition of Taikun has strengthened its capabilities in managing Kubernetes and cloud infrastructure across hybrid and multi-cloud environments. The company also highlighted continued product innovation, including platform updates, enhancements to its open data lakehouse offering and new product releases.

In addition, Cloudera achieved several certifications for highly regulated industries and expanded its global partner ecosystem to help customers accelerate enterprise AI adoption, including collaborations with ServiceNow, Intel Corporation, Chainguard, Amazon Web Services and Dell Technologies.

The company’s performance and innovation were recognised with 45 global awards, alongside analyst recognition from The Forrester Wave. It also expanded its global footprint by opening new offices in San Jose and Saudi Arabia and hiring more than 570 employees across 30 countries.

Looking ahead, Cloudera will continue to invest in innovation across its data and AI portfolio. The company has already announced updates to its AI inferencing capabilities this year, extending them to on-premises data centres to support higher security requirements.

CLOUDERA EXPANDS AI, ANALYTICS CAPABILITIES TO ON-PREMISES DATA CENTRES

KUALA LUMPUR, Feb 10 (Bernama) -- Cloudera has expanded Cloudera AI Inference and Cloudera Data Warehouse with Trino to on-premises environments, enabling customers to run advanced artificial intelligence (AI) and analytics directly within their own data centres.

The data and AI platform company also announced enhanced AI and analytics capabilities within Cloudera Data Visualization to streamline AI workflows across cloud, edge, and data centre environments.

Cloudera Chief Product Officer, Leo Brunnick said the expansion provides customers with greater control and flexibility, with AI and analytics now accessible where critical data is stored.

“Organisations can securely deploy AI and analytics exactly where their most critical data resides, enabling them to drive innovation and derive insights without compromising data security, compliance or operational efficiency,” he said in a statement.

According to Cloudera’s recent report, nearly half of companies store their data in a data warehouse. Secure access to this data enables organisations to extract insights without transferring sensitive information outside protected environments, helping to reduce security risks, limit compliance exposure and streamline operations.

Cloudera AI Inference, powered by NVIDIA technology and now available on-premises, allows organisations to deploy and scale AI models, including NVIDIA Nemotron open models, directly within their data centres.

Meanwhile, Cloudera Data Warehouse with Trino provides centralised security, governance and observability across enterprise data environments while accelerating access to insights through integrated AI-powered analytics and visualisation.
