The Hackett Group has announced the launch of two new generative AI-enabled service delivery platforms, XT™ and AIXelerator™, completing its full suite of AI-assisted engagement platforms. These platforms leverage the firm’s proprietary Solution Language Model (SLM) and its extensive repository of performance benchmarks and best practices, known as Hackett Intelligence, to accelerate and enhance business transformation and software implementation projects for clients.
The Hackett Group launches XT™ for business transformation and AIXelerator™ for software implementation.
Both platforms are powered by the firm's proprietary Solution Language Model (SLM) and Hackett Intelligence IP.
They complete a suite that includes AI XPLR™, ZBrain™ (Gen AI ideation), and AskHackett.ai™ (Advisory).
The platforms aim to reduce engagement effort by up to 40% by automating data analysis and content generation.
XT™ converts client data into high-quality transformation outputs and strategic roadmaps.
AIXelerator™ streamlines the entire software implementation lifecycle from discovery to deployment.
The introduction of XT and AIXelerator represents a strategic move to embed generative AI throughout The Hackett Group's consulting lifecycle. By building these tools on a foundation of proprietary intellectual property—rather than general-purpose AI models—the firm aims to deliver highly contextual, benchmark-aware insights that accelerate client decision-making and project execution. This approach is designed to amplify consultant expertise while ensuring consistency and quality across engagements.
Leadership positions these platforms as a fundamental shift in how consulting services are delivered. Ted Fernandez, Chairman and CEO of The Hackett Group, stated, “XT™ and AIXelerator™ are redefining the way consulting teams deliver strategic value, at a speed previously unattainable without Gen AI delivery platforms. We have now created a full suite of Gen AI-assisted platforms that support all our engagements.”
Paulo Dominguez, chief AI innovation officer at The Hackett Group, elaborated on the operational impact: “This is not just new technology – it’s a new operating model for how our teams engage with clients and deliver work. By embedding Gen AI throughout the delivery life cycle, we’re equipping our people with platforms that significantly amplify their expertise and reinforce the standards that have defined The Hackett Group for more than 30 years.”
The two platforms address distinct but complementary aspects of digital transformation.
XT™ is an AI-enabled delivery platform for consulting-led business transformation. It ingests and interprets vast amounts of structured and unstructured client data to rapidly produce coherent strategic outputs, actionable recommendations, and outcome-driven roadmaps.
AIXelerator™ is a next-generation project delivery platform for software implementation. It brings Hackett Intelligence and the proprietary SLM into the entire implementation lifecycle—from discovery and requirements gathering to design, build, test, and deploy phases—to enhance consistency and streamline core activities.
The differentiating core of these platforms is The Hackett Group's proprietary Solution Language Model, trained on its exclusive "Hackett Intelligence." This intelligence comprises decades of industry- and process-specific workflows, performance benchmarks, best practices, and engagement insights from the world's leading enterprises. This foundation is intended to ensure that the AI's outputs are not only fast but also grounded in proven, world-class performance standards, enabling consultants to focus more on strategic judgment and stakeholder engagement.
