81% of Chief Data Officers surveyed prioritize investments that accelerate AI capabilities and initiatives. 78% of surveyed leaders cite leveraging proprietary data is a top strategic objective to differentiate their organization in the market. Nearly half of respondents identify advanced data skills as a top challenge – rising from 32% in 2023. ARMONK, N.Y., Nov. 13, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- A new global study by the IBM (NYSE: IBM) Institute for Business Value reveals enterprise data strategies are rapidly evolving as organizations race to scale AI across their business. The findings suggest that while Chief Data Officers (CDOs) are at the helm of this transformation, many say their data is still not ready to unlock AI's full potential. IBM Corporation logo. Based on insights from 1,700 CDOs worldwide, the study* highlights a widening gap between AI ambition and readiness. Although 81% of surveyed CDOs report their organization's data strategy is integrated with its technology roadmap and infrastructure investments --compared to 52% in 2023 -- only 26% are confident their data can support new AI-enabled revenue streams. In addition, barriers such as data accessibility, completeness, integrity, accuracy, and consistency are preventing organizations from fully leveraging enterprise data for AI. "Enterprise AI at scale is within reach, but success depends on organizations powering it with the right data. For CDOs, this means establishing a seamlessly integrated enterprise data architecture that fuels innovation and unlocks business value," said Ed Lovely, VP and Chief Data Officer, IBM. "Organizations that get this right won't just improve their AI, they'll transform how they operate, make faster decisions, adapt to change more quickly and gain a competitive edge." Key findings include: The CDO role is shifting from data custodian to business strategist as proving data's value remains a challenge The majority (92%) of CDOs surveyed say they must focus on business outcomes to succeed in their role. Yet, only one-third of respondents strongly agree they can clearly convey how data facilitates business results, and just 29% have clear measures to determine the value of data-driven business outcomes. Deploying data for competitive advantage is now the top priority for CDOs, ahead of governance and security as core responsibilities. 84% of CDOs surveyed say their unique data products have already provided significant competitive advantages, and 78% cite leveraging proprietary data as a top strategic objective to differentiate their organization in the market. AI ambitions remain high amid AI-data gap 81% of CDOs surveyed prioritize investments that accelerate AI capabilities and initiatives. Yet, only 26% of CDOs surveyed are confident their organization can use unstructured data in a way that delivers business value. To help close this gap, 81% of CDOs surveyed say they bring AI to data rather than centralizing it. While 80% of surveyed leaders have started developing diverse datasets to train AI agents, 79% admit being early in the process of defining how to scale and govern them. Despite these challenges, 83% of respondents believe the potential benefits of deploying AI agents outweigh the risks, and 77% are comfortable with their organization relying on outcomes from AI agents. A data-driven culture is viewed as essential, but talent gaps may slow progress 82% of CDOs surveyed say data is wasted if their organization isn't giving people access to it, and 80% say data democratization helps their organization move faster. While 74% of respondents actively promote a culture of data stewardship among employees, fostering a data-driven culture remains a top strategic challenge for those surveyed. At the same time, 47% of CDOs surveyed now say attracting, developing and retaining talent with advanced data skills is a top challenge – up from 32% in 2023. 77% of surveyed leaders are struggling to fill key data roles, and only 53% say recruiting and retention efforts deliver the skills and experience needed – down from 75% in 2024.

New brand emerges to help real estate agencies and their agents win trust, visibility, and listings MELBOURNE, Australia, Nov. 13, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Renowned, a reenvisioned real estate industry brand, launches today, uniting two of the industry's most proven and trusted platforms – RateMyAgent and Curated Social – into one powerful, integrated solution. Together, Renowned now offers a suite of solutions designed to power Local Expert Marketing (LEM), a category that defines how real estate agents can win more deals by staying visible, building trust, and amplifying local market expertise – automatically. RateMyAgent will continue to be the brand for consumers as they research, identify, and leave reviews for agents. Renowned is the first integrated suite of solutions built to power Local Expert Marketing, or LEM, a movement in real estate based on a strategic discipline designed to help real estate professionals build visibility, trust, and local authority across the digital channels that matter. "Renowned helps agencies turn agent performance into presence and presence into growth," said Jim Crisera, CEO of Renowned. "By combining verified reputation data with automated, done-for-you marketing, we help their agents win more listings." Market shifts raise the stakesThe emergence of Local Expert Marketing reflects recent changes in the real estate market. Data from Cotality, formerly Corelogic, in the year to October 2025 shows total housing stock levels are 20% below the 5 year average, and 15% below 2024 levels. New listings are also down nearly 8% in this period. With increased competition for fewer listings, the differentiating factor for success appears to be shifting. According to a 2025 survey of over 1,000 Australian home buyers and sellers by RateMyAgent, when asked for the single biggest factor in their decision to choose an agent, the top answer was 'local knowledge and expertise'. Avi Khan, Group CEO of Ray White Daisy Hill, Ray White AKG, Ray White Brookwater, Ray White Greater Springfield and Ray White Marsden, said, "The market today rewards the agents who stay consistently visible and trusted in their local area, that's what wins the listing before the first conversation even happens. The challenge is that level of consistency takes time, and most agents are already stretched and don't have the skill set to market themselves. What Renowned has done is take that marketing discipline and automate it. Our agents can stay focused on selling, while their reputation is being built and maintained 24/7 in the background." A repeatable system to win deals The Local Expert Marketing solutions that Renowned offers help agents earn top-of-mind awareness, and attract clients instead of chasing leads. Renowned helps agencies ensure that their agents: Stay visible without being online 24/7 Build digital trust through verified reviews and transaction history Earn top-of-mind awareness with clients before the first conversation Appear across vital digital channels with automated, reputation-based content Show up in AI search and assistant tools when clients look for local agents Connecting the entire marketing ecosystemRenowned connects every stage of the agent marketing process. The platform captures reviews through RateMyAgent, converts sales activity and local insights into ready-to-publish content via Curated Social, and automates distribution across digital platforms, including social media, AI search and assistance tools, Google Business Profiles, agency websites, and more. "While other companies offer point solutions such as a review site, a design platform, or a posting tool, Renowned addresses the full agent marketing lifecycle, automating its Local Expert Marketing solutions across social media, search, and agency websites," said Joe Duenat, EVP of Strategy at Renowned and co-founder of Curated Social.

BANGKOK, Oct. 17, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- The Center of Excellence in Medical Genetics, Faculty of Medicine, Chulalongkorn University, has launched one of the world's first projects to perform long-read whole genome sequencing in newborns. The initiative screens for 113 genetic diseases, with the goal of early prevention and treatment, opening a new frontier in precision medicine and improving lifelong health outcomes. Chula Launches Newborn Genome Sequencing Project for Early Detection and Prevention of Genetic Diseases Genomic Medicine: A New Dimension in Health Care Modern medicine has entered a new era by decoding the genetic foundations of diseases. Genomic medicine can reveal who is prone to which illness, at what age symptoms may appear, and which medications will work best for an individual. These answers lie hidden in every person's genetic code. Modern medicine, known as genomic medicine, has developed processes and technologies to decode an individual's genetic information to enable more accurate and specific diagnosis, treatment, and disease prevention. "Why wait until a person is sick to check their genetic information? We can screen newborns and prevent symptoms before they appear, said Prof. Dr. Vorasuk Shotelersuk, Director of the Center of Excellence in Medical Genetics and Deputy Dean for Research, Faculty of Medicine, Chulalongkorn University. "Because our genes stay the same, we can detect disease risk from birth and intervene early." This principle inspired the launch of the Long-Read Whole Genome Sequencing Screening Project for Genetic Diseases in Newborns. The Technology: Long-Read Whole Genome Sequencing The project uses Long-Read Whole Genome Sequencing, one of the world's most advanced DNA sequencing methods, to determine if a child is at risk for serious genetic diseases. Once the data is collected, the child can be monitored and cared for. Professor Dr. Vorasuk revealed that this project has been approved by the Human Research Ethics Committee of the Faculty of Medicine, Chulalongkorn University, and is now recruiting volunteers (pregnant women). About 300 participants are expected in the first year. If abnormalities are found, children can receive early, targeted prevention and treatment. From "One-Size-Fits-All" to Personalized Medicine Professor Dr. Vorasuk said that in the past, medicine followed a population-based model: a drug might work for 90% of patients, but not for the other 10%, with no way of predicting who would respond or experience side effects. "Genetic sequencing changes this," Prof. Dr. Vorasuk explained. "We can move from averages to individuals—predicting who will respond, who will not, and who may have adverse reactions. That is personalized medicine." Professor Dr. Vorasuk outlined three key terms related to the future direction of personalized medicine: Personalized Medicine: Medical care focused on individual health and disease treatment. Genomic Medicine: Personalized medicine using genetic sequence data for health care and treatment. Precision Medicine: Personalized medicine that uses genetic data, environment, and behavior information for individualized care and treatment. "DNA sequencing technology has been developing since the 1970s, starting with reading a single base pair, advancing to thousands, millions, and billions of base pairs per test." Today, genetic sequencing has made huge leaps, such as Long-Read Whole Genome Sequencing (WGS), which reads the entire genome of an organism with longer base reads, unlike the more common short-read sequencing. "Long-read sequencing allows us to read much longer DNA sequences, enabling better detection of complex mutations. This project will use this new technology for genetic screening in newborns." How the Screening Works At prenatal care visits at Chulalongkorn Hospital, the medical genetics team explains the project and obtains parental consent. The procedure is safe, free of charge, and painless to both mother and baby. The genetic sequencing data will enable early disease prevention, increasing the child's chance for good health and quality of life. After delivery at Chulalongkorn Hospital, doctors collect blood from the umbilical cord attached to the placenta. DNA is then extracted and sequenced. "Neither mother nor baby will feel pain because the blood is taken from the umbilical cord that would otherwise be discarded," said Professor Dr. Vorasuk. "Blood becomes DNA, which becomes digital data for analysis," Professor Dr. Vorasuk explained. "Humans have over 20,000 genes, but initially, we will analyze 246 genes linked to 113 treatable childhood diseases, with results delivered to parents within 60 days." Why Early Genetic Knowledge Matters Long-Read Whole Genome Sequencing reads the entire genome, but the project focuses only on severe, treatable diseases in early childhood—first 5 years of a child's life. "If the mutation is related to diseases that develop in adulthood, like cancer at age 40, we will not analyze or report it," explained Professor Dr. Vorasuk. "We focus on diseases manifesting within the first 5 years. When the child grows up, they can choose whether to learn about adult-onset risks. We don't want to burden parents with concerns about diseases that may appear decades later." Examples of detectable conditions include: Blood disorders (Thalassemia) Neuromuscular diseases (Muscular dystrophy) Immune deficiencies (Combined immunodeficiency) Hearing loss disorders (Congenital auditory nerve deafness) Metabolic conditions (Phenylketonuria) Lysosomal storage diseases (Fabry disease) Peroxisomal and saccharide metabolism disorders (Glycogen storage disease) Endocrine disorders (Congenital adrenal hyperplasia) "Genetic diseases begin at birth with mutations present from day zero. Symptoms may appear at birth, age 2, or even age 40. The project's goal is to detect them early to prevent symptoms," Professor Dr. Vorasuk said, giving examples. "A 2-year-old with genetic mutations causing retinoblastoma might have advanced cancer when detected by doctors, requiring eye removal and leading to blindness. This project screens for mutations early so treatment can start when tumors are small, preserving the child's eyesight." "In another example: four siblings appear healthy at birth, but around age 10, after infections like tooth decay, the siblings are given an antibiotic called aminoglycoside. Without screening, one child suddenly becomes deaf due to a gene mutation triggered by this drug. Screening newborns would reveal the mutation, allowing doctors to avoid aminoglycosides and preserve the child's hearing." Looking Ahead Professor Dr. Vorasuk believes genome knowledge will become a cornerstone of future health care. "Who would live a better life—someone who knows their genome from birth, or someone who does not?" he asked. Knowing your genome means a higher chance of prevention, accurate diagnosis, and targeted treatment. For example, knowing a high risk for colorectal cancer enables prevention and reduces mortality. If at risk for breast cancer, early preventive measures can be taken. One day, I believe every child will be born with their genome mapped." Genomic medicine is rapidly advancing, with genetic technologies increasingly applicable to complex, multifactorial diseases like diabetes, cholesterol issues, and hypertension. Though sequencing costs remain high, prices are falling as technology advances. If successful, this project could expand nationwide, giving all Thai children access to their genetic blueprint from birth. "Knowing one's genome is the foundation of future medicine—not only for prevention and treatment, but eventually for gene editing and gene therapy," Prof. Dr. Vorasuk added.
