Improving Enterprises

What Improving Enterprises does

Improving Enterprises (legal entity: Improving Corporate Services, LLC) is a privately held enterprise technology and AI professional services firm founded in 2007 and headquartered in the Dallas–Fort Worth metro area (Frisco, TX). The company delivers AI-enabled engineering, cloud-native application development, DevOps and platform engineering, enterprise integration and APIs, and application production support to large enterprises — with named Fortune 50 clients across healthcare, energy, travel, education, and technology including United Healthcare, CVS, Centene, McKesson, Berkshire Hathaway Energy, Norwegian Cruise Line Holdings, and Amazon. Service delivery is organized around three engagement models: 'Train Your People' (AI workshops and enablement), 'Build Your Solution' (managed end-to-end delivery), and 'Scale Your Team' (vetted engineer augmentation across North America, LATAM, and India). Average client partnership length of 7.5 years and NPS of 90+ are central to the firm's positioning against traditional consulting churn.

The company's underlying technology platform is centered on its proprietary Intelligence Operating System (IOS), an 8-stage AI maturity framework that guides clients from Zero AI through to full Agentic Operations. Improving holds extensive certifications across Microsoft Azure (Developer, AI Engineer, Solutions Architect, DevOps Engineer, Power Platform, Dynamics), Google Cloud (ML Engineer, Database, Developer, Architect, Engineer), and Confluent Kafka — the latter earning it the 2025 Confluent Enablement Partner of the Year for AMER. AI capability modalities span text (agentic lead qualification, semantic search), structured data (predictive analytics for pipeline operations), and code (AI-enabled development and modernization). Deployed AI solutions include agentic lead qualification at Lakeshore Learning (3x qualified leads, 90-day deployment), Vertex AI healthcare records search at PHSA, and Kafka-powered regulatory compliance automation at McKesson.

Improving's go-to-market is enterprise field sales targeting Fortune 50 and large enterprise clients through direct, quote-based, multi-year partnerships — there is no self-serve or productized pricing. The company has executed an aggressive roll-up strategy, completing at least seven acquisitions since 2023 (Tahoe Partners, YoppWorks, Zigatta, Jump Analytics, Coddde, Imaginet, DragonSpears) plus additional deals into 2025–2026 (InfraCloud, MangoChango, Oceans Code Experts), growing annualized revenue from approximately $185M in 2021 to beyond $285M in 2025. The firm operates 21 offices across 7 countries and 3 continents, with no disclosed external funding rounds, suggesting self-funded growth through operating cash flow and acquisition financing. Community-facing programs including the Improving Talks webinar series (200+ sessions since 2022), the CodeLaunch equity-free startup accelerator (92 startups accelerated), and user groups with 107,000+ attendees since 2020 function as both brand-building and recruiting infrastructure.
