Insight Enterprises (NASDAQ: NSIT) has acquired Inspire11, a Chicago-based business transformation and technology delivery firm, in a move designed to tackle a pressing industry problem: translating AI investments into measurable business results.
Inspire11 specializes in uniting strategy, technology, and human-centered innovation to accelerate growth and scale AI initiatives. With this acquisition, Insight aims to help clients close the AI ROI gap, a challenge highlighted by a recent MIT study showing that 95% of generative AI pilots fail to deliver tangible business value.
Turning AI Pilots into Real Results
“Clients need a partner to close the gap between AI hype and business results, and this acquisition builds on our proven success in integrating services-led companies to do just that,” said Joyce Mullen, president and CEO of Insight. “Combining Inspire11’s outcome-driven solutions approach with Insight’s global scale and technical expertise will be the key to helping our clients unlock the true value of AI.”
Alban Mehmeti, CEO and co-founder of Inspire11, added: “Joining forces with Insight lets us help organizations reimagine what’s possible with AI—and actually bring it to life with speed, precision, and impact. Together, we’re building a true elite, end-to-end partner that designs bold strategies, delivers with velocity, and ensures clients sustain success long after we leave the room.”
