| 5/16/26 |  Unisys: From UNIVAC to the Cloud — A Mainframe Giant's Survival Story - $UIS | How does a foundational technology pioneer survive four decades after its core business becomes obsolete? The story of Unisys Corporation is a captivating masterclass in the art of corporate survival, tracing its lineage from the legendary UNIVAC machine that stunned America by predicting the 1952 presidential election to its modern existence as a struggling, yet stubbornly resilient, IT services underdog. Riddled with one of the industry's most disastrous mergers, crushing pension crises, and multiple near-death encounters with bankruptcy, Unisys has repeatedly defied the grave by leveraging sticky government contracts and the inescapable switching costs of legacy mainframes. Dive into this fascinating saga to discover how a former titan navigated the ruthless innovator's dilemma, orchestrated high-stakes pivots into cloud and cybersecurity, and ultimately blurred the line between truly succeeding and simply refusing to die.---Subscribe to our newsletter on LinkedIn https://www.linkedin.com/build-relation/newsletter-follow?entityUrn=7408775804387491842Follow us on X @emportop---Transcript - https://empor.top/us/UISI.

| 5/15/26 |  $HNI: The Office Furniture Powerhouse You've Never Heard Of | Imagine sitting in a typical American corporate office; there is a staggering chance that the desk, chair, or filing cabinet you are using was built by a company you have never heard of. Meet HNI Corporation, a scrappy Iowa manufacturer that quietly conquered the office furniture industry not with flashy designs, but through a relentless, almost fanatical devotion to operational efficiency, a unique "member-owner" culture, and a shrewd roll-up acquisition strategy that recently culminated in the multi-billion-dollar takeovers of Kimball International and Steelcase. As the post-pandemic era ushers in hybrid work and "resimercial" aesthetics, this invisible giant now faces its ultimate test: adapting its unmatched manufacturing machine to a world where the very purpose of the physical office is being fiercely debated.

| 4/29/26 |  SAP: The Empire of Enterprise Software - $SAP | From a bold IBM exodus in 1972 to becoming the backbone of global commerce, SAP’s journey is a riveting saga of engineering rigor, relentless reinvention, and strategic mastery in enterprise software. Born from five visionary engineers’ refusal to abandon a revolutionary idea, SAP evolved from scrappy beginnings to command 77% of global transaction revenue, powering everything from your morning coffee purchase to multinational supply chains.

With the 2027 deadline looming for customers to adopt its next-gen S/4HANA suite, and AI integration reshaping its future, SAP stands at a crossroads of opportunity and risk.
