Every enterprise investing in AI coding tools eventually asks the same question: what's the return?

To help answer it, AHEAD is expanding its strategic partnership with Harness, combining Harness's agentic delivery platform with AHEAD's expertise in platform engineering, cloud modernization, and security to connect AI investment more directly to business outcomes.

Enterprises get shorter release cycles, stronger governance, and visibility into the return on every AI dollar spent.

A successful VMware Cloud Foundation deployment depends on a well defined roadmap. Decisions made early can have outsized effects later on.

At VMware Explore, Ken Nalbone is breaking down the outcome-led framework that separates a VCF rollout that sticks from one that adds overhead, plus the questions that come up again and again in VCF planning conversations.

Catch him live Wednesday, September 2 from 10:30 AM PT at The Hub Theater for "From vSphere to VCF: Cutting Through Complexity with AHEAD."

AHEAD is Glean’s first-ever Collaboration Partner of the Year! 🏆

This recognition reflects AHEAD’s work helping enterprises move past AI experiments into secure, scalable adoption built into everyday workflows.

Before rolling out Glean for a single client, we ran it ourselves as client zero, pressure-testing security, governance and real use cases in our own environment first. That experience now shapes every program we build for clients.

Before AHEAD could help clients navigate AI transformation, we had to prove it out on our own workforce first.

Nearly 3,000 employees. One AI Passport Program. A 95% completion rate on the first phase alone.

That is the foundation behind our AI Champion Network and a five-level AI Maturity Model now guiding how AI, including Glean, gets adopted across every business unit at AHEAD, from Sales to Legal & Compliance to Enterprise Engineering.

We are our own first AI client, and the results are becoming the proof point we bring to every client conversation.

Where do you even start with VMware Cloud Foundation (VCF)?

At , Ken Nalbone, Principal Specialist Solutions Engineer at AHEAD, answers that question head on. He'll walk through the move from VMware vSphere to VCF 9.1: which capabilities to adopt, when to implement them, and how to connect each decision to a business outcome.

No guesswork. Just the framework AHEAD uses with clients every day to turn VCF rollouts into strategic platform investments instead of added overhead.

As Onity Group prepared to exit its legacy environment, it saw an opportunity for more than a technical migration. The transition was part of a broader IT transformation effort that could reshape how the company did business.

Working with AHEAD and AWS, Onity’s team mapped application dependencies, sequenced controlled migration waves, and reduced risk before workloads ever moved.

The result: 550+ servers moved to a modern AWS-native environment in record time, with zero rollbacks.

With a more flexible foundation in place, Onity can respond quickly to business demands, support new initiatives, and continue modernizing as it enters its next phase of growth.

AHEAD has received Wiz's 2026 Rising Star Partner Award for the Americas, recognizing our work turning complex cloud and AI initiatives into secure, scalable outcomes.

The award builds on the AHEAD Cloud Security Accelerator, which pairs cloud attack path visibility with automated workflows so clients can move beyond point-in-time assessments toward more durable security practices.

"This recognition reflects the impact we're creating with Wiz to help clients strengthen cloud security in practical, scalable ways," said Jamison Nack, SVP of Sales Strategy and Alliances at AHEAD. "Together, we're closing the gap between spotting risk and resolving it, so teams can move faster with confidence."

International AI rollouts depend on disciplined ex*****on across customs, shipping, site readiness, and final integration.

AHEAD is extending its global integration model with a new UK facility and the acquisition of Prolimax, bringing rack-scale integration and EU logistics and regulatory expertise closer to where clients deploy.

When infrastructure arrives integrated and production-ready, teams spend less time solving downstream problems and more time moving AI into production.

Rack integration is one of the clearest signs an AI infrastructure program is ready to scale.
