WALTHAM, Mass., Jan. 22, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Rocket Software, a global technology leader in IT modernization, today announced Rocket^® ContentEdge™, a solution that enables safe, governed, in-place access to protected unstructured information to unlock the value of unstructured data while accelerating data modernization at scale. Built for hybrid environments and operational business information, Rocket ContentEdge enables safe GenAI, intelligent automation, and governed access to enterprise content across the entire information landscape—cloud, on-premises and mainframe—without disrupting existing operations.

Unlocking hidden unstructured data insights offers a transformative opportunity to enhance employee productivity and customer experience. Yet many organizations face a significant hurdle: applying AI to operational content without violating strict compliance and privacy protocols, including related workflows that often disrupt legacy systems. ContentEdge solves this by connecting to existing data sources and honoring existing compliance policies. This empowers teams to safely leverage modern AI—for immediate answers and analytics—without ever moving the data or compromising security controls.

“Rocket ContentEdge reflects where the market is going and what our customers need to effectively access their critical unstructured data,” said Michael Curry, President of Data Modernization at Rocket Software. “By combining safety-first GenAI, automation, and deep ecosystem integration, we are enabling organizations to modernize at their own pace, reduce risk and cost, and unlock new value from their most critical information assets.”

Key innovation highlights include:

• Safety-first GenAI and automation: Built-in redaction, reuse of existing access controls, and in-place data connections enable organizations to confidently apply GenAI to sensitive content while managing cost through intelligent optimization.
• Discover compliance, business, and technology contexts: Via automation, deliver enterprise-wide data views with rapid discovery to deployment for data access, integrations, and analytics.
• Industry and ecosystem accelerators: Native integrations with platforms such as SAP^®, Salesforce^®, Microsoft^® Azure^®, Microsoft 365^®, and SharePoint^® enable faster discovery and insight without moving or duplicating data.
• Structured and unstructured data convergence: Automatically merge unstructured information into existing structured data analytics solutions via open standards while maintaining system of record controls for AI and analytics.

The latest innovations across the ContentEdge portfolio extend Rocket Software’s long-standing content management capabilities with guided experiences, expanded search and discovery, GenAI-based extraction for use cases such as contract management, and secure, web-based access to critical system data.

“Al's promise of faster decisions and better experiences depends on unlocking insights from unstructured content without compromising compliance,” said Amy Machado, Senior Research Manager, Content and Knowledge Discovery Strategies at IDC. “Rocket Software's ContentEdge solution is an example of embracing what comes next, by enabling governed, in-place access to sensitive information and bridging the gap between content and analytics. This approach helps organizations accelerate productivity and deliver measurable business impact while maintaining trust and control.”

“From the perspective of a financial institution, obtaining insights from operational information is important. ContentEdge enables us to locate information, unlock intelligence, and drive efficiencies from critical documents,” said Brian Kelley of AgFirst Farm Credit Bank.

Rocket ContentEdge underscores Rocket Software’s continued execution against its data modernization vision by delivering new capabilities that help organizations safely operationalize AI, improve efficiency, and unlock insight across hybrid environments.
