Marketing blog, not a changelog — no product releases visible in this feed.
Copperleaf, now part of IFS, sells asset investment planning software to utilities and other asset-intensive industries. The feed being crawled here is the company's content marketing blog, not a product changelog: every entry is an executive brief or thought-leadership post ending with the standard 'appeared first on Copperleaf' footer. Product information appears only indirectly, in a post announcing IFS Copperleaf Next as a next generation of the platform.
Tightening access governance UX across every channel — approvals, reviews, certifications
Zluri continues to build out its identity governance and SaaS management platform, with recent work concentrated on access requests, approvals, and certifications. It has extended approver actions into Slack and email, refreshed the Groups module, and reworked how certifications are created and scoped. The throughline is making governance workflows faster and available wherever admins already work.

The publishing pattern is roughly two posts a week aimed at procurement and regulatory audiences — build-versus-buy framing, climate resilience in water infrastructure, value-based capital planning, and AI-enhanced investment planning. This is demand generation, so it tracks what Copperleaf wants to sell against rather than what it has shipped.
This feed will keep producing marketing content on the same cadence; anyone tracking actual Copperleaf releases needs a different source, since no version, release, or dated capability change appears in these entries.

The throughline is making governance workflows faster and available wherever admins already work.
The product is maturing its IGA surface incrementally rather than pivoting: multi-channel approvals, user-based review scoping, and guided certification setup all reduce friction in existing flows. Expect continued depth in access reviews and request customization as it competes on governance completeness.
Likely next moves include promoting the beta approver-note features to general availability and extending the guided certification flow with more scoping and remediation options.
