DTN Launches Industry-First Operational Decisioning Platform to Transform How Businesses Compete in a Volatile World
DTN, the global leader in operational decisioning for energy, agriculture, and weather-driven industries, today announced the launch of its Operational Decisioning Platform, a new class of enterprise technology designed to help companies protect margins, reduce risk, and grow faster through better decision-making.
The current era, defined by supply shocks, extreme weather, and volatile markets, is creating a competitive divide between traditional operators and a new class of decision-ready leaders. According to a recent PwC survey, 42% of CEOs believe their companies won't survive the next decade without reinvention; the key barrier: weak decision-making processes.
The DTN Operational Decisioning Platform introduces a new class of capability. It combines sector-specific hubs, proprietary real-time data, and operational AI to deliver actionable intelligence precisely when and where it's needed.
'This platform gives operational leaders the clarity, speed, and confidence to act no matter the level of volatility,' said Patrick Schneidau, Chief Executive Officer at DTN. 'We're helping our customers turn complexity into competitive advantage.'
At the core of the platform are three sector-specific hubs, engineered around the critical workflows of DTN customers:
DTN Ag Hub
DTN Ag Hub offers a real-time digital twin of modern agriculture, integrating intelligence from inputs to producers, traders, and CPGs. With data on 95% of U.S. farms and access to validated cash bids and carbon scoring, the platform empowers smarter pricing, inventory, and sustainability decisions—driving margin and resilience across the agriculture value chain.
DTN Fuel Operations Hub
DTN manages 85% of the North American supply chain pricing and billing transactions every day. The DTN Fuel Operations Hub connects sellers, buyers, terminal operators, and traders with real-time insights across logistics and inventory. Embedded AI models and closed-loop workflows enable teams to predict market shifts, manage risk, and improve margins—at the speed of business.
DTN Weather Hub
The DTN Weather Hub delivers hyper-local forecasting, risk modeling, and compliance reporting tailored to the needs of aviation, utilities, and logistics. With data from 70,000+ sensors and 180+ meteorologists, it translates complex conditions into confident action.
'This is the most advanced weather platform I've seen—combining depth, speed, and clarity in a way that only DTN delivers,' Aaron Schellinger, Director of Event Safety at Danny Wimmer Presents, said. 'In live events, every decision impacts our crews, artists, and fans. This platform and the meteorologists at DTN give us the confidence to act decisively, knowing we're backed by the best data available.'
The launch reflects the broader evolution of DTN as a company centered around a sharpened focus on helping operational executives succeed amid growing uncertainty. Its new positioning emphasizes the need for faster, smarter decisioning at scale delivered through purpose-built platforms, Decision-Grade Data, and trusted neutrality.
'For more than 40 years, DTN has supported the companies that feed, fuel, and protect the world,' Schneidau said. 'As they face a new era of operational complexity, we remain committed to helping them make faster, smarter decisions—when and where it matters most.'

Judge to decide fate of River Island after landlord rebellion
A High Court judge is set to decide the fate of River Island this week after the retailer's radical rescue plan failed to secure sufficient support from landlords and lenders. River Island is seeking to close 33 stores, cut rents on a further 71 shops and write off a series of debts, including business rates to councils, to get itself out of severe financial distress. The retailer has warned it will essentially run out of money by the end of the month if unable to back out of those payments, as previously revealed by The Telegraph. Around 80pc of River Island's creditors by value chose to support its plan, drawn up by advisers at PwC, during a vote held last Friday. It needed approval from at least three quarters of creditors to unlock an emergency loan from its own founders, the billionaire Lewis family. However, the company did not secure 75pc of the vote in every individual class of creditor, with some landlords resisting the plans. There are 10 creditor categories, ranging from councils owed business rates to landlords. Store owners include British Land, the Crown Estate and Mike Ashley's Frasers Group. Of the stores that River Island is not proposing to close, the company is aiming for three-year rent cuts of between 75pc and 25pc. The owners of 24 shops are asked to accept zero rental payments. The plan will be put before the High Court on Thursday for a formal decision on whether to approve the restructuring. A spokesman for River Island said: 'River Island circulated its proposals for a restructuring plan to creditors on June 20. In combination with the company's ongoing transformation strategy, the plan is a proactive measure to place the company on a firm footing. 'We have been having positive conversations with key stakeholders and are confident that we will achieve approval of the plan in the coming days.' River Island employs 5,300 staff in its stores and another 950 at its headquarters in Hanger Lane, West London. It blamed its liquidity crisis on 'a sharp rise in the cost of doing business over the last few years' and the shift to online shopping, burdening it with 'a large portfolio of stores that is no longer aligned to our customers' needs'. Some landlords have expressed frustration at the fact that they face financial pain as a result of what they claim is the retailer's mismanagement. 'This is family-run, they've just overstretched, and it's unfair that the landlords will struggle because they haven't maintained their relevance,' one landlord, whose stores are unaffected, previously told The Telegraph.

Concept Medical Announces First Patient Enrollment in MAGICAL-SV IDE Trial, Expanding its Coronary Clinical Program Across the U.S. and Europe
Concept Medical announces first patient enrollment in MAGICAL-SV IDE trial, expanding its Coronary Clinical Program across the U.S. and Europe. Business Wire India Concept Medical Inc. , a global pioneer in drug-delivery technologies, announced the enrollment of the first patient in the MAGICAL-SV (MAGIcTouch™ Sirolimus-Coated Balloon for Treatment of Coronary Artery Lesions in Small Vessels) trial, a U.S. Investigational Device Exemption (IDE) study evaluating its MagicTouch™ sirolimus-coated balloon (SCB) for the treatment of small coronary vessels. This first U.S. enrollment follows the FDA's IDE approval of MagicTouch SCB, marking a major milestone in Concept Medical's mission to revolutionize coronary artery disease (CAD) treatment and expand its clinical program into the US and Europe. Dr. Samin Sharma enrolled the first patient at New York's Mount Sinai Hospital, Director of Interventional Cardiology, marking a crucial step in advancing treatment options for patients with small-vessel coronary artery disease. 'Today marks a great feat for us and for the MAGICAL-SV trial,' said Dr. Samin Sharma. 'My team at Mount Sinai is privileged to be the first to begin this study. This is a proud moment for all of us, especially knowing what the trial signifies and aims to achieve by evaluating MagicTouch as a potential alternative for treating small vessels in the U.S.' Concept Medical is now actively enrolling in three IDE trials concurrently in the U.S., across coronary and peripheral interventions, underscoring its commitment to bringing innovative therapies to patients worldwide. MAGICAL-SV is a prospective, multicenter, single-blind randomized trial (2:1 randomization) comparing Concept Medical's MagicTouch sirolimus-coated balloon to DES (Everolimus eluting stents [EES] or Zotarolimus eluting stents [ZES]) for the treatment of small coronary artery lesions. Randomization is stratified by study site and presence of medically-treated diabetes mellitus status. The trial will enroll 1,605 patients across the U.S. and Europe, to evaluate the primary endpoint of target lesion failure (TLF) at 12 months. An international team of renowned cardiologists, Dr. Martin B. Leon (USA) – Study Chair, with principal investigators (PI) Dr. Azeem Latib (USA), Dr. Ajay Kirtane (USA), and Prof. Antonio Colombo (Europe) will lead the MAGICAL-SV trial. Dr. Azeem Latib, a U.S. PI for MAGICAL-SV, noted, 'The first U.S. patient enrollment in the MAGICAL-SV study marks an exciting step forward in building robust evidence for SCB technology in the treatment of small-vessel coronary disease. As we explore metal-free PCI strategies, this study brings renewed hope for safer, more effective options for our patients.' Prof. Antonio Colombo, who leads the European arm, added, 'Starting small and going big! MAGICAL-SV represents an important step in building evidence for sirolimus-coated balloons.' This milestone embodies a 'leave nothing behind' philosophy in coronary interventions, treating arterial blockages without permanent implants and addressing the limitations of metallic stents in small vessels. Dr. Martin B. Leon, the Study Chair, emphasized evaluating a no-stent strategy through this trial: 'The initiation of the MAGICAL-SV trial marks an important step in evaluating sirolimus-coated balloon therapy for small coronary vessels. By addressing key limitations of stenting in this complex anatomy, the study aims to generate strong comparative data versus DES. The results could inform future treatment strategies in the U.S. and Europe, offering clinicians a potential alternative for managing small-vessel disease.' The pioneering MAGICAL-SV trial aims to yield strong clinical evidence for sirolimus-coated balloon therapy, supporting Pre-Market Approval (PMA) for MagicTouch SCB in small vessels and potentially redefining CAD treatment. Dr. Manish Doshi, Founder and MD of Concept Medical, said, "MAGICAL-SV marks another step in our mission to redefine vascular care. We're focused on delivering next-generation solutions, helping clinicians achieve better outcomes and give CAD patients a better quality of life."
