## Digital Maturity at InEight and Ryan

InEight research found 90% of capital project organizations believe they are digitally advanced, but only 25% meet that standard, [GlobeNewswire](https://www.globenewswire.com/news-release/2026/10/13/3379906/0/en/ineight-research-finds-90-of-capital-project-organizations-believe-they-re-digitally-advanced-only-25-are.html) reported on October 13, 2026. The gap stems from equating tool adoption with maturity, while complex projects still rely on disconnected spreadsheets and manual entry. Ryan marked its 35th anniversary with a refreshed brand identity and digital experience, including a redesigned website and deeper integration of its tax.com solutions, [Business Wire Blog](https://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20261012366247/en/Ryan-Marks-35th-Anniversary-with-Refreshed-Brand-and-Digital-Experience) reported on October 12, 2026.
