Acceleration Economy AI Ecosystem Top 12 Pioneers
The analysis that earned each company this recognition was initiated by Analyst Toni Witt, orchestrated and executed by the practicing C-Level executives that are part of the Acceleration Economy Practitioner Analyst Network and overseen by Cloud Wars Founder and Acceleration Economy Co-Founder, Bob Evans and CEO, John Siefert.
The process of defining the companies that made the list was designed replicate the “research and discovery process” an executive team goes through as they are considering a transformational project around AI for their business, prior to scheduling vendor meetings or briefings. This approach delivered a less biased ranking that was created purely based on publicly available data and the analysts real-world experience of transforming and modernizing mid-market and enterprise companies.
While there was objective (public records, reports, news, analysis, case studies) and subjective (experience, WOM, social media) metrics and influences our analysts used to define the ranking, the group primarily based their decisions on three criteria:
- Partnerships and investments that create innovation & customer value
- Partners (SI and ISV/SaaS vendors) in your partner ecosystem creating platform value
- Innovation that accelerates the reimagination of vertical market/industry business models through customer co-creation
