The Hackett Group® Unveils AI XPLR™ 4.0 That Delivers Accelerated, Measurable Gen AI ROI
Next-generation, breakthrough solution addresses key enterprise Gen AI value realization concerns
“Too often, vendors lead with a hammer looking for a nail, promoting AI use cases that don’t align with client realities, which leads to failure,” said
The potential to deploy cognitive automation – beyond the existing rule-based system of record capabilities – offers all organizations incredible ROI, but the challenge is knowing where to start and how to tailor solutions for a company’s unique business requirements. AI XPLR™ 4.0 addresses this by introducing three revolutionary core capabilities that deliver a completely reimagined approach to enterprise AI:
1. Comprehensive Technology Landscape Intelligence
The platform’s enhanced technology landscape capability provides a highly sophisticated mapping of enterprise application functionality, which allows a client to assess the possible use of its existing embedded automation capabilities and corresponding data sources before launching Gen AI solutions. Unlike traditional discovery tools, AI XPLR™ 4.0 identifies, catalogs, and analyzes systems of record functionality and data sources across all business functions – while applying industry-specific solutioning intelligence – allowing clients to optimize the existing enterprise applications and existing and potential data sources in their Gen AI solution considerations. This comprehensive automation visibility ensures that new AI solutions are designed and developed powerfully and efficiently.
2. Advanced AI Ideation Capabilities
Building upon The Hackett Group’s proprietary SLM, the ideation engine can simulate and evaluate thousands of client-specific AI solution scenarios using a client’s industry-specific process flows and existing enterprise application environment. This capability analyzes:
- Client-specific enterprise application automation functionality and knowledge base modeling of existing and potential data sources, which provides the opportunity to discover powerful data sources by exploring unstructured and public data sources that extend beyond the system of record and internal data sources.
- Industry-vertical simulation, ensuring clients can consider solution opportunities.
- Security and feasibility assessments to prioritize high-impact, high-feasibility agentic workflows.
The result is a shift from traditional brainstorming to industry-specific solution discovery and ideation that uncovers high-value Gen AI enablement and enhanced data sources with great specificity.
3. Complete Solution Architecture Powered by The Hackett Group’s Proprietary SLM
At the heart of AI XPLR™ 4.0 lies Solution XPLR, featuring The Hackett Group’s breakthrough SLM – a specialized Gen AI model trained on unprecedented business process and enterprise transformation knowledge, benchmarks, best practices, and implementation intellectual property. Research indicates that large language models provide approximately 35% of the capability to design high ROI agentic workflows. Our uniquely informed SLM and transformation and agentic AI expertise provide the critical capabilities to fully execute solutions. This industry-first capability enables clients to design client-specific solutions in hours or days, not weeks and months, including:
- Optimized process flows: End-to-end workflow designs with embedded ROI optimization and risk mitigation.
- Intelligent agentic workflows: Sophisticated AI agent architectures for automation, augmentation and decision support.
- Technical specifications: Detailed functional designs ready for immediate development and deployment.
- Comprehensive data and system assessments: Complete evaluation of data source options, integration requirements and system compatibility.
- Native technology integration: Recommendations for leveraging existing applications, platforms and infrastructure investments.
“The AI XPLR™ solution blueprints can be accurately built in ZBrain™. By leveraging out-of-the-box agentic workflow designs or quickly building client-specific workflows from scratch, enterprises can move from design to working agentic orchestration at unprecedented speed. This seamless handoff ensures that every feasibility-validated solution from AI XPLR™ is not theoretical, but directly executable,” said
