“In 2016”, said Reply President Mario Rizzante, “we have seen the definitive emergence of the digital revolution: there is no longer any industrial, processing or service sector that hasn’t rethought their processes, redesigning them on the basis of technology and digital components. This paradigm shift has affected not only end customers, but also consultancies that have had to radically renew and extend their portfolio of products and services, readjusting to new, more complex demands.”
Rizzante continued: "Reply has always invested to position itself on the technological frontier, and topics that many are only now beginning to discuss, such as Artificial Intelligence, Big Data, Machine Learning, Mixed Reality, Industry 4.0 and the Internet of Things are for us already structured proposals on which we have been working together with our customers for some time.”
“This competitive advantage, as reflected in the positive results of 2016, combined with our Group’s financial strength, allows us to continue investing to make Reply’s offering portfolio of products and services increasingly aligned with the demands of a new world, where the barrier between the physical and digital vanishes and the innovation component linked to technology changes from an enabling factor to a successful strategic lever for the companies,” concluded Rizzante.
The manager responsible for preparing the company's financial reports, Dr Giuseppe Veneziano, states in accordance with Paragraph 2 of Article 154-bis of the Consolidated Finance Act, that the accounting information contained in this press release corresponds to the company's records, ledgers and accounting entries.

Klarna Card reaches 5 million active customers19.3.2026 15:31:00 CET | Press release
Klarna, the global digital bank and payments provider, today announced that the Klarna Card has reached 5 million active customers globally, underscoring rapid adoption as consumers shift towards new forms of payment which provide more control over day-to-day money management. The card draws from the customer's own funds for everyday spending, with the option to spread the cost of a specific purchase, like a large appliance or a flight, when it makes sense to do so. The result is a card that offers genuine spending control without the long-term debt obligations that come with traditional credit cards. The card’s growth is reinforced by Klarna’s membership program. The program offers premium perks such as airport lounge access, travel insurance, and lifestyle subscriptions — without requiring users to take on debt, meet spending thresholds, or revolve balances. By separating everyday spending from rewards, Klarna is challenging the strings-attached model legacy banks have long relied on

Armis Launches First-of-Its-Kind Benchmark Report Warning of Critical Security Gaps in AI-Native Development19.3.2026 13:00:00 CET | Press release
Research reveals 100% of leading generative AI models fail to generate secure code for critical development scenarios Armis, the cyber exposure management & security company, is warning that the rapid enterprise adoption of AI-native development is outpacing critical security safeguards, leaving organizations exposed to systemic vulnerabilities. New research from Armis Labs’ Trusted Vibing Benchmark Report, which evaluates 18 leading generative AI models across 31 test scenarios, reveals a 100% failure rate in generating secure code. These vulnerabilities are most prevalent in high-risk areas like memory buffer overflows, design file uploads and authentication systems.
