Avolution Recognized in Gartner® Hype Cycle for Strategic Cost Optimization, 2025

Recognized as a Sample Vendor for technologies that support cost-aware, resilient digital transformation through initiatives such as Digital Twin of an Organization and Business Capability Modeling.

Avolution, a global provider of enterprise architecture tooling, has been listed as a Sample Vendor in the Gartner® Hype Cycle™ for Strategic Cost Optimization, 2025 [1]. According to Gartner® Hype Cycle (2025), “This Hype Cycle, new for 2025, identifies technologies that enable strategic cost optimization, balancing efficiency, resilience and innovation across enterprise operations.”

We believe that inclusion in the report indicates that Gartner has identified Avolution among vendors contributing to the development and adoption of specific technology categories.

Gartner® states: “This Hype Cycle™ scans the horizon for technologies that accelerate SCO, enabling it and evolving how cost reduction, performance improvement and strategic investment are delivered. For example:

• Cost reduction is enabled by SaaS management, cloud financial management services and optimization engines.
• Performance improvement is driven by autonomous workload optimization, cloud-optimized hardware and autonomous workload optimization.
• Business outcome investment is enhanced by composable infrastructure, business capability modeling and digital twin of an organization.

According to the 2026 Gartner CIO and Technology Executive Survey, with average IT budget growth of 2.8% expected in 2026, and over 80% of CIOs reprioritizing initiatives, strategic, longer-range decisions are no longer optional.” (Gartner, 2025, p. 2)
