As we pause for Thanksgiving, I'm reflecting on Fountane's journey in creating enterprise value through digital and AI services, products, and joint ventures. This year has been marked by transformative partnerships and breakthrough implementations that delivered real business impact for our clients. Behind these achievements are tangible transformations: manufacturers streamlining quality control, hoteliers creating memorable travel experiences, healthcare providers enhancing patient care, and startups scaling efficiently. These wins belong to our phenomenal team, strategic partners, and forward-thinking clients who trusted us with their digital and AI journey. Looking ahead to 2025, we're not just riding the AI wave – we're helping organizations navigate it with confidence. Our mission remains clear: enabling organizations to capture lasting value through AI transformation, one solution at a time. Grateful for this community and excited about the chapters ahead. #AI #Innovation #Leadership #FutureOfWork #TechTransformation

As a tech entrepreneur, I've learned that building a lasting business requires an unwavering focus on the fundamentals - strong financials, a passionate team, and innovative products. In a recent episode of M&A Science, I had the opportunity to share some insights on navigating the challenges and opportunities that come with growing a tech company, both organically and through strategic acquisitions. I'm grateful to the M&A Science team for providing a platform to discuss these important topics. Building a successful tech company is a marathon, not a sprint - I hope the experiences I’ve shared can be helpful to fellow entrepreneurs on that journey.

On stage at #BFTF2024 in Austin with 3 of my most favorite people - Tori from Astound, Sherry from NCB and Tom from SAP-Concur. We discussed Innovation and Change in the panel - how partnering with clients to test new ideas creates value that goes beyond a traditional vendor-client relationship. Our Client Advisory Board (CAB) has been the best sounding board to test new concepts. It is very easy to burn a lot of R&D dollars to chase “shiny new objects”. The CAB acts as our conscience keeper, making sure that our R&D investments are tied to outcomes that will be relevant to their businesses and something that they will want to buy from us, because it solves some of their live business problems. The AI journey is just starting at the Base Camp. As our clients try to scale the peaks of business transformation, we at HGS want to be the sherpas that carry the tools that will enable them to navigate to their Summit. Onwards and upwards! To enduring client relationship that stand the test of time.

According to Infor's Steve Levy, CFOs increasingly prioritize replacing labor with AI automation to sustain growth and maintain competitiveness. A survey by Duke University’s Fuqua School of Business and the Federal Reserve Banks of Richmond and Atlanta found that nearly two-thirds of CFOs aim to automate tasks typically performed by employees, with many planning to integrate AI within the next 12 months. Additionally, 60% of companies have already adopted automation technologies, driven by the goals of increasing product quality, boosting output, and reducing labor costs.
