At the 2026 meeting of the World Economic Forum in Davos, Constellation Research named Ancilla a Top AI-Exponential Service Firm for 2026.
We are honored by the recognition. More importantly, we see it as confirmation of something larger: AI-first delivery is no longer experimental. It is becoming foundational.
The market has moved past curiosity. Executive teams are no longer asking whether AI matters. They are asking how quickly it can be embedded into the core of how their organizations operate.
From Automation to Exponential Impact
There is a meaningful difference between using AI and becoming AI-exponential.
Layering automation onto existing workflows may produce incremental gains. Designing systems where data, analytics, and telemetry continuously inform decisions produces compounding advantage.
AI-exponential organizations:
- Treat data as a living asset, not a reporting artifact
- Build feedback loops that improve performance over time
- Increase decision velocity without sacrificing control
- Enable smaller teams to create outsized impact
This is not about replacing human judgment. It is about amplifying it. When intelligent systems are designed and monitored with discipline, efficiency does not just improve. It scales.
Why This Moment Matters
Recognition from Constellation Research reflects a broader inflection point.
Across healthcare, manufacturing, consumer goods, and technology, the pattern is clear. Organizations that treat AI as a feature remain reactive. Organizations that embed AI into their operating model move decisively and compound results.
Becoming AI-first is not a technology decision. It is an operational one.
It requires clarity of strategy, integration of data, thoughtful automation design, and measurable telemetry. When those elements align, AI shifts from experimentation to infrastructure.
Our Perspective
Ancilla was built around a simple premise: operational advantage is created through disciplined systems.
We work across industries because the real constraint is rarely vertical-specific. It is structural. Data exists in silos. Reporting lags reality. Automation is fragmented. Leaders lack a single, trusted view of performance.
AI changes that equation when it is grounded in:
- Clear executive alignment
- Integrated data foundations
- Automation designed for scale
- Continuous monitoring and refinement
When those conditions are met, intelligence compounds. Teams operate with greater clarity. Decisions are made with greater confidence. Productivity increases without linear headcount growth.
That is what we mean by building what’s next.
Moving Forward
Being named a Top AI-Exponential Service Firm affirms our direction. But recognition is not the objective. Durable advantage is.
If your organization is evaluating how to embed AI into core operations, we welcome the conversation.
