LONDON, UK

Axonect and Commercial Bank showcased a global industry-first deployment of TM Forum’s Open Digital Architecture (ODA) in Fintech at DTW Ignite, demonstrating how a telco-grade architecture can be applied successfully to modern banking transformation.

Presented at TM Forum’s DTW Ignite in Copenhagen, Anthony Rodrigo, CEO of Axonect and Sumudu Gunawardhana, CIO of Commercial Bank demonstrated how ODA, originally deployed within the telecom industry, can be applied to financial services as a foundation for modern composable banking. The successful deployment at Commercial Bank facilitated by Axonect, positions ODA as a practical architecture for banks seeking to modernize complex legacy environments while maintaining governance, resilience, and regulatory control.

“Already trusted by the telecom industry, ODA is now proving its relevance wherever connectivity is a driver of growth. Axonect and Commercial Bank are demonstrating how a common, open architecture can bridge telecom and financial services, creating new opportunities for innovation and collaboration,” said Willie Stegmann, EVP, Composable IT & Ecosystems, TM Forum. “It reinforces the role of open architectures in helping organizations scale AI, simplify integration, and support new business models.”

“Axonect’s ODA-aligned platforms have enabled Commercial Bank to strengthen and modernize its core technology ecosystem, evolving beyond traditional telco middleware into an enterprise-grade turnkey operating system for financial modernization. This gives banks the agility, scalability, and innovation speed of a public cloud environment, while maintaining the sovereign data governance, security, and operational control required by a leading financial institution,” said Sumudu Gunawardhana, CIO of Commercial Bank, speaking at DTW Ignite.

This ODA deployment at Commercial Bank, Sri Lanka’s largest private bank, has delivered real, measurable value, including 30–43% core efficiency gains, a reduction in OpEx footprint from 70% to 33%, the fastest Google Pay deployment globally, instant PayPal cross-border remittance clearing, 40+ live microservices across BIAN-compliant domains, 200+ active APIs, 99.99% availability, secure cryptographic boundaries, policy-driven compliance, and live operations across three countries.

“ODA was created to help the telco industry bring order, agility, and scale to complex digital ecosystems. What we have proven with Commercial Bank is that the same architectural discipline can now help reimagine how banks modernize,” said Anthony Rodrigo, CEO of Axonect. “As agentic AI, APIs, sovereign data, and cloud operating models converge, ODA has the potential to become a common blueprint for secure, intelligent, and future-ready enterprise transformation. This global industry-first is more than a milestone for Commercial Bank and Axonect; it is a signal that enterprises across industries can modernize with precision, confidence, and impact.”

For Commercial Bank, the next phase of the journey is about advancing from composable banking to secure agentic banking — with Axonect Fabric enabling a more autonomous, AI-native software delivery lifecycle from business requirement discovery through API development, QA, CI/CD, and production. Built with agentic security, sovereign governance, and auditable AI at its core, this evolution also opens the path for broader open finance ecosystem expansion, governed AI across banking use cases, and scalable adoption across new markets and sectors.

With the ODA Fintech Playbook now live, Axonect is helping define how ODA can move from telecom architecture into fintech execution and industry-wide impact.

LOS ANGELES, CA

Blind Logic Productions announced that Chautauqua-Wawasee and the Syracuse – Wawasee Historical Museum will co-sponsor a special screening of Blind Logic: The Ralph R. Teetor story, at the historic Pickwick Theatre in uptown Syracuse, Indiana, on Tuesday, July 28, 2026. Donations from the event will benefit the museum.

Ralph & Jay Smith in Miss Detroit II

Blind Logic Productions is proud to partner with Chautauqua-Wawasee and the Syracuse-Wawasee Historical Museum in support of the museum. This screening is part of Chautauqua-Wawasee’s Famous Hoosier Annual Series, which has highlighted notable figures such as Eli Lilly in 2025 and John Wooden in 2024. Chautauqua-Wawasee is dedicated to enriching lives and strengthening the community, while the Syracuse-Wawasee Historical Museum preserves and exhibits artifacts connected to the families, lakes, businesses, and industries of the Syracuse-Wawasee area.

Filmmaker Jack Teetor shared, “We are excited to partner with these esteemed community organizations and return to the historic Pickwick Theatre, sharing the life of Ralph Teetor, and his Lake Wawasee history with the Syracuse-Wawasee community.” Mark Knecht, President of Chautauqua-Wawasee, added “We’re excited to feature Ralph Teetor as the third person in our Famous Hoosiers series which featured Eli Lilly last year, and John Wooden in 2024”. Ann Garceau, local historian and Board Member of the Syracuse-Wawasee Historical Museum commented, “As a youngster living at Lake Wawasee, I had the opportunity to know members of the Teetor families as neighbors and friends. It’s been my pleasure to renew those acquaintances through honoring Ralph and Dan Teetor.” Dan Teetor is the grandfather of Jack Teetor, composer Jim Andron, and the late Dan Teetor, Jack’s older brother.

Ralph Teetor’s history at Lake Wawasee dates to 1914, where he built his first speedboat, becoming a favorite hobby. His parents soon thereafter purchased a cottage on the lake, beginning a long history at Lake Wawasee, still enjoyed by Teetor’s great-grandchildren today.

Teetor later purchased the 250-horsepower racing boat Miss Detroit II, built by Chris and Jay Smith, founders of the Chris-Craft Boat Company. Teetor and his cousin, Dan Teetor, piloted Miss Detroit II at speeds exceeding 70 mph, an insane speed over water for that era.

“Blind Logic: The Ralph R. Teetor Story” chronicles the inspirational life of Ralph R. Teetor, a blind American visionary and automotive pioneer who overcame unthinkable odds to leave a lasting impact on the automotive industry. His inventions, including an automatic gearshift and Cruise Control, are now commonplace. For decades, Teetor pushed the boundaries of automotive safety, performance, and economy. As Ralph Teetor famously stated in 1945, “I am not handicapped because I never considered myself so.”

This film features renowned trailblazers Lyn St. James, legendary race car driver and 1992 Indy 500 “Rookie of the Year;” Franz von Holzhausen, Chief Designer at Tesla, Inc.; Sarah Cook, President of the Automotive Hall of Fame; and Leslie Mark Kendall, Chief Historian at the Petersen Automotive Museum.

The documentary features Emmy Award winners Jeff Daniels and Mike Rowe, along with Emmy nominated Barry Corbin. The film’s award-winning creative team includes editor Derek Tow, composer Jim Andron, photo editor the late Daniel Teetor, and sound editors Darren King, Nikola Simikic, and Amanda Roy. Written, directed, and produced by Jack Teetor, this documentary is based on the book “One Man’s Vision – The Life of Automotive Pioneer Ralph R. Teetor,” by the late Marjorie Teetor Meyer.

The motion picture about Ralph Teetor is currently in development entitled “One Man’s Vision,” reuniting the creative team behind the acclaimed 2024 biopic Reagan to bring his extraordinary life to a new audience. https://onemansvision.com/

MUNICH, GERMANY – July 14, 2026

At Intersolar Europe 2026, WiseGlow unveiled its WiseGlow Platform and presented its full portfolio of intelligent energy solutions, including hardware-agnostic Energy Digitalisation technology, AI-powered Energy Management Systems (EMS), and Intelligent Asset Management platforms. Built on an AI-native architecture extending upward from the operating-system layer, the platform unifies fragmented energy assets into coordinated Autonomous Energy systems.

As the energy transition accelerates across global markets, the launch reflects a structural shift — from Europe to North America and beyond — in which the industry is moving away from capacity-driven renewable expansion toward system-wide Energy Optimisation, Energy Flexibility orchestration, and digitalised operations. Within this context, WiseGlow Platform is positioned not as a conceptual framework, but as a field-tested system already validated across multiple North American and European markets. By enabling seamless Distributed Energy Resource (DER) coordination, it provides a practical reference point for how energy systems can evolve toward Autonomous Energy.

Proven European Deployment and Operational Validation

WiseGlow has deployed the WiseGlow Platform across Germany, Italy, and other global markets, covering commercial, utility-scale, and residential photovoltaic and storage projects. In Germany, its EMS-based optimisation system has been applied across multiple PV and hybrid energy asset scenarios, delivering measurable improvements in Energy Forecasting accuracy, dispatch efficiency, and trading Energy Optimisation. In Italy, a pilot deployment of its integrated Smart Energy Platform achieved up to a 15 percent increase in annual energy yield and a 7 percent reduction in operational costs through predictive maintenance and Intelligent Asset Management.

Across Europe, the company has delivered more than 500 projects and currently manages over 180 MW of PV assets, with a total project pipeline exceeding 1 GW. These real-world deployments form the foundation of the company’s approach: combining AI-native software with full lifecycle energy asset execution, from system design and EPC integration through to operation.

Platform Architecture: From Digitalisation to Autonomous Energy

The WiseGlow Platform integrates four core capabilities that collectively enable the transition from Energy Digitalisation toward fully autonomous operation.

First, hardware-agnostic digitalisation enables seamless integration with existing energy infrastructure without requiring costly hardware replacement, reducing CAPEX barriers while accelerating deployment across DER assets.

Second, the AI-powered Energy Management System (AI-powered EMS) applies AI-driven models across generation, load, and price signals to optimise trading strategies and energy dispatch. It supports participation in Energy Flexibility markets while improving revenue performance across asset portfolios.

Third, Intelligent Asset Management introduces predictive maintenance, lifecycle optimisation, and performance analytics, allowing operators to enhance asset reliability and reduce downtime across solar and BESS systems.

Fourth, orchestration capabilities enable real-time coordination of distributed assets (DER), laying the operational foundation for VPP deployment. Together, these capabilities transform isolated assets into a Smart Energy Platform supporting dynamically coordinated energy networks.

End-to-End Value Across Energy Stakeholders

For commercial and industrial (C&I) users, the WiseGlow Platform enhances energy cost control and operational efficiency. For renewable operators, it improves asset yield and long-term profitability. For storage operators, it enables intelligent charging strategies and participation in Energy Flexibility markets with improved arbitrage performance and stronger Energy Optimisation outcomes. WiseGlow also extends its solution into land and infrastructure development through its GREENFIELDS initiative, converting underutilised land into distributed renewable generation assets integrated with digital control systems, supporting local Energy Flexibility and grid stability.
