Gartner has recognized Avolution as a Sample Vendor in three key innovation profiles in the 2026 Hype Cycle for Enterprise Architecture:
- Automated EA Governance
- Business Architecture
- Outcome-Driven Metrics
To us, the 2026 report signals a critical inflection point for EA. We believe with AI transformation accelerating, Gartner identifies three priorities for heads of EA: leading AI-driven transformation, capitalizing on emerging technology disruption, and reinventing EA to match the speed of business change.
ABACUS by Avolution is built to support all three — helping EA teams move from static documentation to dynamic, automated, and outcome-linked architecture practice.
