BST Global Receives Frost & Sullivan's 2025 Global AEC Project Management Company of the Year Award for Excellence in Market Leadership and Digital Transformation
SAN ANTONIO, Aug. 4, 2025 /CNW/ -- Frost & Sullivan is pleased to announce that BST Global has received the 2025 Global Company of the Year Award in the architecture, engineering, and consulting (AEC) project management industry for its outstanding achievements in innovation, performance, and customer impact. This top honor recognizes BST Global's leadership in transforming the AEC project management landscape through cutting-edge technology and a customer-centric business model.
Frost & Sullivan evaluates companies through a rigorous benchmarking process across two core dimensions: strategy effectiveness and strategy execution. BST Global excelled in both, demonstrating its ability to align strategic initiatives with emerging AEC market demands—such as increasing project complexity and skilled workforce shortages—while executing them with scale and precision.
Guided by a long-term strategy focused on digital transformation and customer satisfaction, BST Global has reshaped how AEC firms manage project performance. With AEC companies facing industry-wide challenges—from rising material costs and labor shortages to increasingly remote operations and outdated legacy systems—BST Global delivers intuitive, AI-powered solutions that reduce complexity, improve decision making, and increase productivity.
Innovation remains at the core of BST Global's approach. The company's AI-enabled project intelligence platform includes BST Insights, which leverages more than 35 discrete digital signals to provide real-time visibility into project health using net labor multiplier (NLM) as a predictive KPI.
"BST Insights predicts outcomes with a 95% or higher accuracy rate for qualified projects, enabling project managers and project directors to make meaningful changes to how their projects are resourced in real time, for example, identifying roles that can be staffed more cost effectively to better align with the economic footprint of the project," said Lynda Stadtmueller, Associate Partner, Information & Communications Technology, Frost & Sullivan.
BST Global also introduced BST Connect™, a cloud-based iPaaS launched in 2024. It integrates seamlessly with systems such as Oracle CX and Microsoft Dynamics, enabling enterprise-wide connectivity.
"Earning this honor from Frost & Sullivan reflects the transformative work our team and our clients are doing together to redefine project management in the AEC industry," said Eileen M. Canady, Chief Marketing Officer at BST Global. "We're proud to lead with innovation—infusing AI and real‑time insights into project delivery—while never losing sight of what matters most: enabling our clients to thrive in an increasingly complex and competitive environment."
BST Global's consumer-grade mobile applications and Waze-inspired user interface reduce training time and accelerate user adoption. Whether clients are migrating from on-premises solutions or embracing BST Global's latest cloud-native platforms, the company supports them with tailored implementation, data migration, and ongoing reporting services to ensure a smooth, effective transition.
Frost & Sullivan commends BST Global for setting the standard in market responsiveness, ecosystem collaboration, and customer experience. The company's launch of the AI + Data Consortium in October 2024 further demonstrates its commitment to advancing the AEC industry through collective benchmarking and standard setting.
Each year, Frost & Sullivan presents the Company of the Year Award to a company that demonstrates outstanding strategy development and implementation, resulting in measurable improvements in market share, customer satisfaction, and competitive positioning. The honor recognizes forward-thinking organizations that are reshaping their industries through innovation and growth excellence.

Coherent Eyes Core Growth Markets Following Defense Unit Sale
On Wednesday, Coherent Corp. (NYSE:COHR) agreed to sell its Aerospace and Defense business to Advent, a private equity investor, for $400 million. Proceeds will be used to reduce debt and will be immediately accretive to Coherent's EPS. Coherent's Aerospace and Defense designs and manufactures optical and laser systems for defense applications. The business includes approximately 550 employees and 10 geographic sites.'We are pleased to have reached this agreement with Advent. As part of our strategic portfolio optimization process, this transaction furthers our strategy to concentrate efforts on core growth markets and products,' said Jim Anderson, CEO of Coherent. The deal is expected to close in the current quarter. During the earnings call, Anderson said the decision to sell the business was made because it was not aligned with the company's long-term strategic focus areas and did not support long-term financial targets. View more earnings on COHR Coherent reported quarterly earnings of $1 per share, which beat the analyst consensus estimate of 91 cents. Revenue came in at $1.52 billion, which beat the analyst consensus estimate of $1.5 billion and is up from revenue of $1.31 billion from the same period last year. Outlook Coherent expects first-quarter revenue to be between $1.46 billion and $1.6 billion. On the earnings call, CEO Anderson said the current tariff policy remains unchanged from last quarter and is not expected to have a significant impact this quarter. 'Though we do not have full details yet, we believe President Trump's recent announcement regarding semiconductor tariffs may present a competitive advantage for our business,' Anderson noted. The semiconductor exemption covers many of the company's products, such as transceivers, and with U.S. manufacturing operations, the company expects it could avoid the semiconductor tariff. Analysts' Reaction Bank of America Securities downgraded Coherent from Buy to Neutral while raising its price forecast from $92 to $105. Needham reiterated its Buy rating with a $120 forecast, while Stifel also maintained a Buy but lifted its forecast from $100 to $118.

AI startup Cohere valued at $6.8 billion in latest fundraise, appoints new executives
(Reuters) -Cohere was valued at $6.8 billion after its latest $500 million funding round, as the artificial intelligence startup moves to expand its market share in a highly competitive industry. The funding round was led by Radical Ventures and Inovia Capital, with participation from existing investors AMD Ventures, NVIDIA, PSP Investments, and Salesforce Ventures, among others. Unlike most AI companies like OpenAI and Meta's Llama, which are focused on broad foundational models, Cohere builds enterprise-specific AI models. In January, it launched North, a ChatGPT-style tool designed to help knowledge workers with tasks such as document summarization. The company said it will use the new funding to advance agentic AI that can help businesses and governments operate more efficiently. Alongside the fundraise, Cohere appointed Joelle Pineau, former Vice President of AI Research at Meta, as Chief AI Officer, and Francois Chadwick, former CFO at Uber and Shield AI, as Chief Financial Officer. The fundraise comes amid a broader surge in AI financing, as private equity and Big Tech channel capital into startups in pursuit of strong returns from innovative AI products.
