From Legacy to Agentic: 13 Years of Operational Transformation

Bridging legacy operations with technology advancements is what we have been doing for the last 13 years, including:

– Banks incorporating credit calculators
– Automotive manufacturers consolidating 400 partners into a multi-site network
– Telecoms analyzing call logs, dropoff rates, and busy cells
– Enterprise CRMs integrating the latest GTM solutions into a complete funnel

When high-traffic publishing was a vertical we scaled actively a decade ago, we used to save 6-8 hours per week per writer/editor way before the LLMs era (with teams of 40+ journalists in different orgs).

Once we linked SEM to ad revenue, one of our sites reached 973,000,000 pageviews in a single month.

This same principle holds true in the era of agentic systems (building on top of our core mechanics developed over the years).

Is this ready for prime time yet? No – and it won’t be in the next 12-18 months in SME and mid-market.

But some of our pilots are successfully integrated in $150M companies. And more and more of the surrounding SMB ecosystem keeps catching up (unburdened by red tape, privacy risks, and compliance regulations preventing mass adoption at the higher floors).
