Kognitiv Completes Acquisition of ClouDevOps to Power Workday Support Capabilities Across Europe
NEWTON, Mass., June 23, 2025 /CNW/ -- Kognitiv Inc., the dedicated Workday services partner consultancy, has today announced the completion of its acquisition of Estonian-based ClouDevOps (CDO), a leading provider of Workday support in Europe. The acquisition marks a major leap forward in Kognitiv's ambitions to be the largest boutique Workday consultancy globally and bring its unique on-demand model to a wider global market. Established in 2016, Kognitiv currently supports over 400 Workday clients including Spotify, Finastra and nCino, to deploy and integrate the Workday HCM and Financial Management platforms more strategically and effectively across their organizations. With this expansion, Workday users in Europe will be able to benefit from Kognitiv's high-impact, flexible model. Workday consultancy is a rapidly growing market, expected to reach $1.54bn in value in 2025, and skyrocket to $3.74bn by 2033. As demand for Workday services accelerates, Kognitiv has distinguished itself in North America by challenging the conventional approach to Workday support. While most partners focus on initial deployment and treat ongoing support as secondary, Kognitiv is committed to post-implementation services. From day one, the company has transformed traditional AMS and focused on helping clients get the most from their Workday investment—optimizing performance, resolving issues, and rolling out new features. This remains its core strength, delivered through a flexible, on-demand model known as "Power by the Hour." Kognitiv identified Europe as a key growth area, now accounting for over 20% of its customer base. This acquisition positions the company to meet this rising demand and expand its global presence, with consultants now operating across ten countries—including the U.S., Canada, India, the U.K., Germany, Belgium, Spain, Poland, Estonia, and Romania—and offering support in five languages. ClouDevOps has partnered closely with Kognitiv over the last three years, most recently as a reseller of Rooster, the Workday interview scheduling tool. Like Kognitiv, CDO's consultants bring decades of hands-on Workday experience from both partner and client perspectives. Mark Grignon, Co-Founder of Kognitiv Inc., commented: "We are thrilled to be welcoming ClouDevOps to the Kognitiv family. Having worked closely together over the last three years, our shared values and commitment to simplified, flexible Workday support made them a natural choice to extend our reach into Europe. With this expansion, Kognitiv is bringing its proven On-Demand, Team-Based, Power-by-the-Hour model—which has transformed how North American clients support and scale Workday—to the European market." Frédéric Rousseaux, Managing Partner of ClouDevOps added: "We've had a hugely successful partnership with Kognitiv since 2022, so joining forces with them in Europe is an exciting opportunity for us to scale our impact while staying true to what made ClouDevOps special—deep Workday expertise, personal client relationships, and a relentless focus on value." As Kognitiv embeds CDO's customer base and services following the acquisition, its clients across Europe will benefit from: Broader Workday capabilities, including Adaptive Planning, Peakon, and enhanced Workday Finance support Stronger compliance and security, including SOC 2 certification Global reach across North America and Europe About Kognitiv Kognitiv is a certified Workday AMS Services Partner delivering flexible, pay-as-you-use consulting that aligns with Workday's innovation and agility.

Mobile Mining Revolutionise Crypto Wealth for Daily Traders
An Estonian-based blockchain project is upending traditional cryptocurrency mining by enabling everyday mobile users to mine Bitcoin Solaris via a smartphone app. The Solaris Nova App, currently in its private beta, allows earning tokens through adaptive, low‑energy background processes—sidestepping the need for ASIC rigs and high electricity costs. The platform combines conventional Proof‑of‑Work with Delegated Proof‑of‑Stake, boasting energy efficiency nearly 99.95% lower than Bitcoin yet capable of processing over 10,000 transactions per second with two‑second finality. It includes built‑in wallet features, real‑time analytics, gamified leaderboards and a marketplace for leasing computational power, aiming for a secure but user‑friendly experience. Engagement has surged. Over 11,500 users have joined the presale, contributing more than $5 million, at an average price of $8 a token, with scheduled price increases to $9 ahead of a $20 launch value. Phase 7 is underway, confirming momentum as the project enters its final presale phase. ADVERTISEMENT Independent audits from Cyberscope and Freshcoins, plus KYC verification, reinforce security credibility. Market analysts such as Ainvest note the platform's one‑tap mining and liquid staking features as transformational for retail traders. Bitcoin Solaris's dual‑layer architecture merges SHA‑256 Proof‑of‑Work with a high-speed Delegated Proof‑of‑Stake layer. This enables smartphone‑based mining via the Nova App, steering the network's validation duties to unused storage and CPU cycles—a model described as authentic on-chain participation rather than gamified simulation. Device‑level mining accommodates Android, iOS, desktop and browser setups. It adjusts load according to hardware: simpler algorithmic backend for phones, scalable tasks for laptops. Energy consumption remains negligible compared to traditional setups. These advancements allow earning BTC‑S tokens immediately, even enabling leasing of computing capacity via smart contracts, and fostering deeper DeFi involvement through liquid staking. Tokenomics emulate Bitcoin's scarcity: 21 million total tokens, with 66.7% allocated to mining over 90 years, 20% set aside for presale, and 5% for liquidity. Early presale investors also access bonus slots—up to 10% in earlier phases—highlighting the company's emphasis on accessible wealth-building. Crypto commentators highlight its egalitarian potential. Coin World describes it as aimed at making mining accessible to average traders. Analytics Insight suggests mobile mining is generating a wave of new crypto millionaires. Observers such as Crypto Nitro, Crypto Infinity and Crypto Show emphasise its blend of energy efficiency with scalability and inclusivity. Technical infrastructure rests on security measures, including zero‑knowledge proofs, rotating smart validator sets and continuous audits. Developers argue this permits afforded decentralisation without sacrificing speed or integrity. Operationally, the project is on a tight timeline: the private beta is active, presale entering its final stage, and full exchange listing expected by July–August. Marketing strategies include referral bonuses, token rewards and daily spins, designed to sustain engagement as broader exposure looms. Critics note that presale hype may inflate expectations and urge diligence. But Bitcoin Solaris counters with transparent audits, robust KYC, and smart contract evidence of functioning architecture. The simplicity of an app‑based mining system breaks from older models that few retail users can access profitably. Industry significance could be profound. By transforming everyday devices into contributors to blockchain consensus, Bitcoin Solaris substantially lowers barriers. This may redefine early‑phase crypto wealth dynamics, where first movers historically held advantage via specialist mining investments. As global attention turns to scalable, eco‑conscious blockchain models, Bitcoin Solaris positions itself at the intersection of accessibility and utility. With the Nova App reaching beta testers and node count rising, the platform is providing tangible participation alternatives for small investors.
