According to McKinsey, 88% of organizations use AI in at least one business function, yet only around 1% describe their deployments as mature and roughly two-thirds remain stuck in pilots. Due to this and despite its potential, AI is more often viewed as a tool bolted onto existing workflows instead of a foundation that allows businesses to build on and scale.<\/p>\n<p>&#13;<br \/>\n\tXpander bridges this gap, helping organizations overcome the infrastructure, security, and governance challenges that have historically limited enterprise AI adoption. Its platform seamlessly integrates into any company&#8217;s operations and is available across major cloud environments and AI models, enabling the AI-native foundation for any business. Xpander enhances productivity and efficiency, without hindering scale, speed, and flexibility.<\/p>\n<p>&#13;<br \/>\n\tInstead of organizations limiting their AI adoption to off-the-shelf tools or by adding restrictions, Xpander\u2019s customers use Omni, its flagship agentic Forward Deployed Engineer, to achieve full flexibility with AI. Whether creating an AI teammate for every employee, enabling every team to build its own agents, or ensuring every process is with AI built in, Omni simplifies the most complex user tasks into simple and autonomous, while also supporting collaborative multi-agent workflows to meet business objectives.<\/p>\n<p>&#13;<br \/>\n\tAt the core of Xpander\u2019s platform is its universal agent harness, a model, framework, and cloud-agnostic runtime that executes AI agents as portable workloads within a customer&#8217;s own environment while securely rendering agent interfaces on demand. The same infrastructure that gives enterprises deployment flexibility also powers governance. Organizations can rapidly build, deploy, and manage production-grade custom agentic applications across their products, workflows, and data, with centralized visibility and lifecycle management built in.<\/p>\n<p>&#13;<br \/>\n\tThe platform is already driving real impact for Xpander\u2019s customers, which include global enterprises across the retail, manufacturing, financial services, technology, and government sectors.<\/p>\n<p>&#13;<br \/>\n\t\tDavid Twizer, CEO and co-founder of Xpander<\/p>\n<p>&#13;<br \/>\n\t\tEvery company is working to harness the power of AI and become AI-native, yet most find it unattainable.\u00a0Our experience at AWS, helping large enterprises move to the cloud in complex multi-year projects, has inspired us to build a platform that smoothly facilitates AI migration and adoption for organizations, to allow them to grow their businesses faster than ever before.<\/p>\n<p>&#13;<br \/>\n\t\tTal Yatsiv, General Partner at Pico Venture Partners<\/p>\n<p>&#13;<br \/>\n\t\tWe are excited to join Xpander&#8217;s journey in solving the biggest problem that enterprises and decision makers are facing when attempting to adopt AI.\u00a0The market is inflated with point solutions but lacking platforms that enable true enterprise-wide AI transformation. We chose Xpander due to the team\u2019s unique experience and expertise and their proven early results. With diverse customers using the platform successfully, it was clear to us that Xpander is positioned to lead this critical category.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"&#13; Xpander has announced a $7.5 million Seed round led by Pico Venture Partners with participation from Emerge&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":145519,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[6],"tags":[405,25,7537,523,66,71530,12740,70245],"class_list":["post-145518","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-agentic-ai","tag-ai-agents","tag-artificial-intelligence","tag-artificial-intelligence-agents","tag-enterprise-ai","tag-news","tag-reformatted-article","tag-vendors","tag-xpander"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ai\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/145518","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ai\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ai\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ai\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ai\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=145518"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ai\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/145518\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ai\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/145519"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ai\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=145518"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ai\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=145518"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ai\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=145518"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
