Juan Carlos Soto shared thisMore great innovation from Luminix, Inc. bringing AI to your fingertips, even while offline. If your organization uses Salesforce and any of your users access the cloud service via mobile or in the field, you really need to take a look at Pulsar by Luminix.Juan Carlos Soto shared thisField teams often work without reliable access to Salesforce and AI. That leads to delays, incomplete updates, and inconsistent service. Pulsar Agent 2.0 addresses this with better access to data, AI, knowledge, and service history, directly in the field. This release includes: - easier access to accounts, contacts, and appointments using text or voice - knowledgebase answers and AI insights available during customer interactions - service history summaries with clear next steps It also introduces custom, AI-driven insights, so teams can track trends, compliance, and performance based on how they work. For leaders, this means better visibility. For teams, it means less time searching and more time getting work done.

Juan Carlos Soto liked thisJuan Carlos Soto liked thisLast week, I had the opportunity to spend time with our software lab team in Toronto, and it was time well spent. What stood out most was the focus. Teams are deeply engaged in solving real problems, with a strong sense of ownership for what they build and how it performs in the hands of clients. Thank you to Michael Kwok, Ph.D. and the Toronto lab team for the candid discussions and for the work you are doing every day. I left encouraged by the talent, the discipline and the momentum here, and optimistic about what this team will continue to deliver for IBM and for our clients.

Juan Carlos Soto reacted on thisI’m honestly speechless. Receiving such recognition is priceless. Building, growing, and nurturing the 15M+ #Java community has delivered material impact to the world. Literally, the globe runs on Java. This role has been beyond rewarding and career defining. Thank you to JCON 2026 organizers and Richard Fichtner for this honor. This award is also personally bittersweet…being impacted by the #OracleRIF was supremely unexpected. I can’t stress enough how active communities can drive real BUSINESS value. I wish those behind me the best as they shepherd forward the foundation I’ve put in-place. As this chapter sets for me, I’m looking for my next big thing. If your company is looking for a difference maker, I’d welcome the opportunity to help you!Juan Carlos Soto reacted on thisToday at the JCON introductory keynote, there was a small but meaningful moment. Sharat C., was recognized for 25 years of dedication to the Java community. There was no big stage or long speech, just simple recognition, but honestly, it’s very well deserved. I understand this kind of contribution isn’t about visibility or titles. It’s about consistency, showing up, helping others grow, and keeping the community alive. It also made me reflect: our ecosystem is strong because of people like this, and maybe we don’t say “thank you” enough. So here it is, in a simple way: thank you for your contribution. And a reminder for all of us, community is something we build together, over time. #Java #JavaCommunity #JCON #DeveloperLife #TechCommunity

Juan Carlos Soto liked thisJuan Carlos Soto liked thisThe speed of cyberattacks has become an executive leadership issue. When attackers can move laterally, escalate, and exfiltrate data in compressed timelines, the question is no longer whether security teams are working hard enough - they are. The question is whether the organization is built to respond at the speed the threat now requires. For leaders, I would focus on three actions: 1️⃣ Reduce manual bottlenecks: Look at triage, escalation, approvals, and containment workflows. Any process that depends on manual coordination during a fast-moving event is worth pressure-testing. 2️⃣ Clarify decision rights before an incident: Who can isolate systems? Who approves customer communications? Who decides when to involve external partners? Those answers should not be improvised under pressure. 3️⃣ Measure response speed in business terms: How quickly can you contain material risk? How quickly can you restore critical operations? How long can the business tolerate disruption? Human judgment will always matter. But in this threat environment, it has to be supported by automation, clear escalation paths, and leadership readiness. Speed is no longer just a technical metric. It is a measure of resilience.

Juan Carlos Soto liked thisJuan Carlos Soto liked thisSalesforce partners who don't align to consumption will get left behind. Salesforce's North Star is consumption and customer success. Not licenses sold. Not go-lives. Consumption and adoption. Customers are catching on. They're no longer investing in implementations. They're investing in outcomes. Customers want to achieve total adoption and ROI across Sales, Service, Field Service, and Agentforce. If a partner can't deliver that, the conversation ends quickly. After spending nearly 20 years of my career in the Salesforce partner ecosystem, I've seen where this stalls. It's rarely the technology. It's governance. The tech-stack conversation has changed. It's not just CRM + AI + Data anymore. Governance belongs first. Get it right upfront and you go faster, not slower. That's the part most partners miss. At Diabsolut, we use agents and AI to get clients to a working MVP faster, then spend >60% of the engagement refining with them based on real usage. Agentforce projects fail or stall without continuous monitoring and optimization That’s why we built AgentGuard to solve what happens post-launch. One of our customers went from 10% to 82.5% AI response quality in 90 days. That's not a metric. That's a transformation. If you're a Salesforce customer trying to get more out of your investment, or a Salesforce employee who holds delivery excellence as a non-negotiable, I want to hear from you. Message me directly or drop your thoughts in the comments. #SalesforcePartner #AgentForce #Diabsolut #Salesforce

Juan Carlos Soto liked thisExcited to welcome Kunal Shah to Accio3D as our Chief Product and Technology Officer. Kunal brings many years of expertise bringing AI native products to market. Kunal and his team 3D printed parts at Ascend Motors and experienced firsthand the problem we are solving at Accio3D, which is to simplify and scale 3D printing for companies.Juan Carlos Soto liked thisExcited to share that I've joined Accio3D as Chief Product and Technology Officer! More than ever, I believe that as software becomes easier to build, the next frontier for technology is the physical world. If we want a future with radically better vehicles, housing, aerospace systems, infrastructure, and defense capabilities, we need to make advanced manufacturing dramatically more accessible. Broader access to additive manufacturing in particular can unlock a new era of speed, resilience, and innovation. Accio3D is building a platform that makes it simple for companies to find, evaluate, and work with advanced manufacturing providers — starting with 3D printing. Led by Bindiya Vakil, founder of Resilinc, the company is making additive manufacturing accessible for parts that are hard or impossible to source through traditional supply chains. I'm leading product to make accessing advanced manufacturing as seamless as spinning up a cloud server. If you're building physical products, or looking for a better way to manufacture low-volume parts, I'd love to connect!

Juan Carlos Soto reacted on thisSometimes the biggest milestones make you think less about the destination - and more about the road that got you there. From being an only child raised by a single mom in rural Colorado, dreaming of how big the world really was, to becoming one of only a few women studying Mechanical Engineering at Stanford, to now stepping into a CxO role - it’s a journey I don’t take for granted. This promotion means a lot - but not because of the title. It means a lot because no one gets here alone. I’m grateful for: -The leaders who encouraged me. -The mentors who gave honest advice. -My family and friends who never taught me that women “can’t” do big things. -The teammates who believed, built, and battled alongside me - and continue to do so today. Even the difficult moments and challenging bosses that taught grit, perspective, and resilience. Success is rarely a straight line, and it is never a solo act. I’m deeply grateful for everyone who played a part in this journey. And for anyone wondering whether humble beginnings can lead to big outcomes - the answer is YES. Where you start does not define where you can go. Talent is everywhere. Opportunity, encouragement, and perseverance change everything. Grateful for the road behind me. Thrilled for what’s ahead. https://lnkd.in/gM3iH6YTJuan Carlos Soto reacted on thisToshiba Business elevates its transformation journey with the promotion of Kerstin Woods as Chief Solutions and Marketing Executive, strengthening its shift toward cloud, AI, and solutions-driven growth This move reinforces Toshiba’s focus on modernizing go-to-market strategy and accelerating innovation-led revenue Kerstin will continue driving global solutions, marketing strategy, and AI-enabled services across cloud and workflow automation A strong step toward scaling smarter, more connected enterprise solutions.

A job submitter node may use one or more P2P platform protocols to discover the master nodes and to obtain information about the grid cells, including information that may be used by the job submitter to automatically select one of the grid cells that is suitable to execute a particular job. After selecting the grid cell, the job submitter may submit the particular job to the master node of the grid cell using the P2P platform protocols.

Great chat with Rich Bowen and my friends Jarek Potiuk, Jens Scheffler, and Rajeshwar B., about Apache Airflow v3 and how the ASF community model really works. We discussed how the Airflow PMC and community operate — grounded in trust, and collaboration across companies and timezones. We also talked about what it took to get to Airflow 3 released on time. A great listen if you’re interested in how open source and ASF governance come together in practice.
