Virtualware has acquired Manchester-based Virtalis for an initial €5m, more than doubling pro forma revenue to €10m and lifting UK market share to 38%.

The Identity-as-a-Service (IDaaS) Market is expanding as global enterprises, government entities, and mid-sized businesses transition from fragmented on-premises access management to centralized, cloud-native identity platforms. Growth is driven by the rapid adoption of Zero Trust security architectures, remote and hybrid workforce models, surging identity-based cyber threats, and strict regulatory compliance mandates. The Identity As A Service Idaas Market size is expected to reach US$ 14.26 Billion by 2031.

AI adoption is growing, yet operational gains remain uneven. According to the State of Distribution 2026 report from NYU, RateGain and HEDNA, cited by PhocusWire, more than 80% of hotel commercial teams still spend one to two days a week preparing and analysing reports manually. While over half of hotels are using or procuring generative AI, fewer than one in ten report reductions in manual work exceeding 30%. Disconnected systems, fragmented guest data and isolated applications continue to limit the benefits. Midsize chains appear particularly well positioned: they combine resources for specialist teams with organisational agility. The broader lesson is that AI requires clean data, connected systems and redesigned workflows to deliver value.

When you are trying to squeeze large codebase contexts into model prompt budgets, compression is essential. However, aggressive text compression algorithms often break code: * Fenced code blocks lose language tags or line breaks. * Python and YAML break when indentation is collapsed. * URLs and filesystem paths get fragmented. In TokenCap, we built `src/compress/compress.js` and `src/pack/fold.js` with strict preservation gates. ### The Preservation Contract Before compressing any markdown context, the tokenizer validates syntax elements: 1. Fenced Code Blocks: Delimiters and internal line breaks are never collapsed. 2. File Paths and Identifiers: Tokens matching repo file paths are protected against regex substitutions. 3. Tables and Structural Headers: Markdown table alignments and headers stay legible. 4. Repetitive Import Folding: Consecutive import statements are collapsed into summary folds: // [14 external React and Lucide imports folded] ### Property-Based Verification We verify preservation behavior using randomized property testing: // test/compress-preserve.property.test.js excerpt test("compress preserves code blocks, paths, and json structures byte-exact", () => { const input = fs.readFileSync("test/fixtures/complex-markdown.md", "utf8"); const compressed = compressMarkdown(input); // Extract all code blocks before and after const beforeBlocks = extractCodeBlocks(input); const afterBlocks = extractCodeBlocks(compressed); assert.equal(beforeBlocks.length, afterBlocks.length); for (let i = 0; i < beforeBlocks.length; i++) { assert.equal(afterBlocks[i].content, beforeBlocks[i].content); } }); You can preview the compression ratio safely with `--dry-run`: tokencap compress .tokencap/snapshot.md --dry-run See the full compression benchmarks at tokencap.vansharora.app
