Why Hexaware selected Hazel AI

  • Their method, their brand, their IP. Hazel ingests Hexaware's delivery methodology as it already exists, templates, gates and checklists included, and compiles it into an autonomous delivery system that runs under Hexaware's brand and belongs to Hexaware. The learning from every program accrues.

  • Governed delivery, from strategy through execution. Hexaware architects and domain experts keep the judgment calls: scoping, milestone sign off and architecture decisions. Hazel automates the craft underneath: discovery, analysis, requirements definition, process transformation, solution design, validation and testing, with Hexaware's approval gates intact.

  • Proven ROI before the rollout. Early engagements showed 40 to 60% less design and build effort, specifications delivered in under 30 minutes, and 50% time and cost efficiency across brownfield migrations and post-migration activation. The numbers were measured on live programs, not modeled.

“Hazel AI gives our teams another valuable capability to accelerate the modernization of complex enterprise environments by automating much of the work that can slow modernization programs. This allows us to focus on the business and architecture decisions that determine the quality and predictability of the outcomes.”

Moving fast on Hexaware's agentic AI strategy

Hexaware is an AI-first firm, and the partnership with Hazel AI embeds an autonomous modernization engine into its platforms for cloud, ERP, data and enterprise modernization. Hexaware moved from evaluation to production results quickly:

  • Winning on timelines competitors could not match. In a $30M greenfield SAP pursuit against eight firms, for a client that had already failed with two prior partners, Hexaware compressed pre-RFP and bid defense from seven months to two, took the sales and distribution process from blueprint to implementation in under two months (against six to nine), and planned a US and Canada migration in seven months instead of eighteen. Hexaware won the deal.

  • Scaling across the SAP practice. Hexaware's SAP business unit runs 18 to 20 S/4HANA implementations per quarter with 50% time and cost efficiency.

  • One engine, more than one practice. The same compiled methodology that powers SAP delivery has been extended to Microsoft Dynamics, proving the approach generalizes beyond a single ERP.

  • Knowledge that compounds. Hazel's Context Engine captures application landscapes, business processes and transformation insights from each program, so every engagement makes the next one faster.

Across complex modernization and transformation programs, the partnership has delivered 50% faster time to value.

“Hexaware understands how complex modernization programs are delivered, while Hazel AI translates that operating knowledge into autonomous software. Together, the partnership can fast-track enterprise-scale execution.”
