AI Solution Providers Shift From AI Features to AI-Enabled Execution
The Hackett Group® research examines how procurement, finance and human capital management solution providers are evolving AI from productivity tools to embedded execution capabilities
The Hackett Group, Inc. (NASDAQ: HCKT), an ROI-led AI transformation firm, today released new research examining how artificial intelligence (AI) is being developed, positioned and deployed by enterprise solution providers in the procurement, finance and human capital management (HCM) marketplace. The findings show that AI is now widely embedded across solutions in these domains, but that most offerings today remain focused on assistive and workflow-level automation rather than fully autonomous execution.
The AI Solution Providers 2026 Trends, Capabilities and Strategic Insights report finds that providers in these areas are increasingly reframing AI from a collection of features into an execution layer embedded within enterprise applications. The strategic objective is no longer simply improving individual productivity but enabling AI to participate directly in coordinating, executing, and optimizing end-to-end work across business processes.
