Identity Passthrough for AI: Why Your LLM Needs to Know Who's Asking
When a user asks your AI assistant a question, who actually runs the database query? In most enterprise AI deployments, the answer is troubling: a shared service account with broad access to everything. The user's identity evaporates the moment their request enters the AI system. This architectural pattern creates security gaps, compliance failures, and data leakage risks that undermine enterprise AI adoption.
What Is MCP? Connecting AI Across the Software Delivery Lifecycle
AI promises speed and automation — but most teams are still stuck jumping between disconnected tools across development, testing, and operations. In this video, we introduce the Model Context Protocol (MCP) and how it enables AI assistants to securely access tools, systems, and real-time context across the software delivery lifecycle. MCP is the foundation of Perforce Intelligence, allowing AI to: The result: less friction, faster feedback, and AI that works with your existing systems — not around them.
Software Quality Gates: How Do They Work?

Fee transparency in rental listings is no longer a design or disclosure detail, but a regulatory and commercial requirement for real estate and PropTech platforms. Recent FTC enforcement actions and accelerating state legislation now say that pricing logic must be explainable, consistent, and defensible across every channel where rent is shown. Real estate companies using listing platforms, PMS tools, marketplaces, or leasing experiences now need to update their sites and comply with the new regulation.
Qlik Joins Snowflake-Led Open Semantic Interchange to Bring Consistent Business Meaning to Analytics and AI
If you have ever asked three teams for the definition of the “same” metric and gotten three different answers, you have already met one of the most expensive, least talked about problems in modern data. It is not a lack of data. It is a lack of shared meaning. As analytics and AI spread across more tools, clouds, and teams, business context often fails to travel with the data. A metric defined one way in a dashboard gets redefined in a notebook.
