Global study analyzing 1.8 million data points across 5000+ enterprises to understand what separates breakthrough performance from failure
Analyzed across five critical dimensions
CIOs, CTOs, CDOs, and business leaders
Financial Services, Healthcare, Manufacturing, and more
Digital transformation isn't a spectrum—it's binary. Organizations either achieve breakthrough performance or face structural decline. There is no middle ground.

Facing:
A fundamental discontinuity between traditional and digital business environments
Change accelerates beyond organizational adaptation capacity. Market windows close faster than traditional transformation timelines.
Disruption arrives simultaneously across technology, customer behavior, competitive dynamics, regulation, and talent markets.
Advantages compound for leaders. Gaps widen exponentially. Recovery becomes mathematically impossible within compressed competitive cycles.
Organizations cannot operate partially on both sides. Hybrid approaches deliver neither traditional efficiencies nor digital advantages.
93% of enterprises struggle because they're competing in a digital environment using organizational models, decision processes, and delivery approaches designed for the traditional environment.
Five consistent patterns separate Digital Champions from the 93% who fail
Winners didn't have better technology, more budget, or smarter people. They approached transformation differently—with customer-centric mindsets, data-driven strategies, bias toward speed, unified organizational alignment, and relentless focus on measurable business outcomes.
Converging challenges making traditional transformation approaches structurally inadequate
The Compression:
Simultaneous disruption across:
The Challenge:
Most enterprises use 15-30 separate tools:
Economic Impact:
The Strategic Disconnect:
Traditional Consulting's Fatal Flaw:
Traditional consulting offers zero contractual accountability for business outcomes, cost unpredictability through scope expansion, and no recourse when transformation fails to materialize.
The Cost of This Tussle:
Companies that cannot bridge financial accountability with transformational outcomes face a devastating choice: delay essential transformation while competitors advance, or proceed with initiatives that boards view as high-risk, low-accountability bets.
These five forces don't operate independently—they converge and amplify each other. Traditional consulting and point solutions cannot address the structural challenges enterprises face. Business leaders need delivery models that align vendor incentives with enterprise success.
We didn't just identify why 93% of transformations fail—we revolutionized transformation itself, creating an entirely new delivery model that replaces labor-intensive consulting with AI-powered platform led delivery. We have woven transformation processes in data, applications and infrastructure modernization and migrations into end to end AI powered solutions.
Services as Software infuses decades of transformation experience into an intelligent platform—delivering hypersonic transformations impossible with traditional consulting and manual efforts.
3,000+ projects across 15 industries encoded into platform intelligence—proven patterns and best practices available instantly
1.8M research datapoints and 100+ live engagements continuously informing AI-powered recommendations
Applications, Data, and Infrastructure transformed simultaneously from a single platform—multi-cloud and vendor-neutral
Zero-code interfaces in 17 languages enable business users to drive transformation—intelligence stays with the customer, not consultants
Traditional 18-24 month projects completed in 7-10 months—capturing competitive windows manual consulting misses
Fixed-scope pricing with deployment guarantees eliminates the 40-60% overruns typical of traditional consulting
Platform automation delivers enterprise transformation at a fraction of traditional consulting, internal and software costs
Vendor-neutral platform with no revenue bias—optimize across AWS, Azure, and Google Cloud without lock-in
Zero-code platform improves learning and knowledge in your teams—capability stays and compounds, unlike consulting that walks away
Platform learns from 100+ global engagements—every customer benefits from intelligence gathered worldwide
The AI-Powered Services as Software model operates on seven principles addressing structural challenges
Consulting creates permanent IT dependency. Business units cannot operate independently post-engagement.
Solution: Zero-code interfaces in 17 languages enable business leaders and their teams to control transformation. Platform builds organizational capability, not vendor dependency.
Outcome: Business unit autonomy, strategic agility, ability to iterate based on market feedback without technical bottlenecks.
Technology-first approaches deploy capabilities hoping for business value. Most fail to demonstrate measurable impact on business KPIs.
Solution: Begin by reimagining business value propositions with data as strategic foundation. All technology decisions flow from business strategy and tie directly to revenue, cost, or customer metrics.
Outcome: Board and executive alignment, demonstrable ROI tied to P&L impact, confident capital allocation based on business cases.
Enterprises assemble 15-30 separate tools requiring custom integration consuming 40-50% of transformation budgets. Data silos prevent enterprise-wide intelligence.
Solution: Integrated solutions share intelligence, workflows, and data models. Discovery, assessment, and analysis happen once and inform all downstream activities. No integration tax.
Outcome: CIO/CTO efficiency gains through eliminated integration overhead, accelerated timelines through unified workflows, CFO cost optimization through consolidated platform spend, enterprise-wide intelligence enabling CDO data strategy.
Single-cloud platforms create strategic lock-in, biased optimization recommendations, and limited leverage in vendor negotiations.
Solution: True architectural neutrality across AWS, Azure, and GCP. Workload placement and optimization based on technical requirements, cost models, and business strategy—not platform vendor preferences.
Outcome: CTO strategic flexibility for workload placement, CFO negotiating leverage with cloud providers, preserved optionality as business requirements and cloud economics evolve, CDO ability to optimize data gravity and sovereignty requirements.
Consultant-intensive delivery models scale linearly with project scope. Enterprise transformation requires enterprise consulting fees with zero economies of scale.
Solution: AI-powered automation replaces manual analysis, assessment, and execution work. Platform scales exponentially through software leverage, not headcount.
Outcome: CFO access to enterprise capabilities at fraction of traditional consulting costs. Savings available for reinvestment in innovation. CIO ability to scale transformation without proportional budget increases. Predictable cost models enabling multi-year planning.
18-36 month transformation timelines while industry disruption cycles compress to 6-12 months. Competitive advantages evaporate during execution.
Solution: AI-powered automation and unified architecture compress transformation cycles by order of magnitude—delivering business outcomes faster than industry disruption velocity.
Outcome: CEO ability to outpace competitors and capture market opportunities before windows close. Business unit leaders establishing first-mover positions. CIO and CTO demonstrating technology as competitive differentiator. Time-to-value measured in weeks and months, not quarters and years.
Time-and-materials consulting creates cost unpredictability and zero recourse when commitments aren't met. Boards and CFOs cannot confidently approve investments without accountability mechanisms.
Solution: Outcome-based deployment guarantees with defined recourse. Fixed-scope economics with transparent pricing. Alignment models where platform provider success depends on enterprise success.
Outcome: CFO and board confidence in capital allocation decisions. Business leaders with protection against execution risk. CIO ability to present transformation initiatives with board-grade risk mitigation. Predictable budget consumption enabling accurate financial planning.
