What Avasant does

Avasant is a global management consulting and digital advisory firm specializing in technology strategy, digital transformation, sourcing advisory, and business optimization. Founded in 2006 and headquartered in El Segundo, California, the firm serves Global 2000 enterprises across 15+ industry verticals including aerospace and defense, financial services, healthcare, life sciences, manufacturing, public sector, and emerging areas such as space and advanced systems.

The firm operates an integrated research and advisory platform built around proprietary benchmarking methodologies. Core research products include RadarView (market assessments categorizing providers as Leaders, Innovators, Disruptors, and Challengers), Computer Economics (IT spending and staffing metrics anchored on 35 years of industry data), and Business Economics (launched February 2025 to extend benchmarking into procurement, finance and accounting, and HR with 30+ metrics per function).

Avasant generates revenue through four streams: management consulting services, research subscriptions and chapter-level report sales, events and conferences (Empowering Beyond Summit, Partner Connect, Executive Roundtables), and custom benchmarking engagements. Distribution relies primarily on direct enterprise sales led by senior partners, supplemented by self-serve research downloads with a freemium executive-summary tier, event-driven demand generation, and thought-leadership content marketing. The firm operates through seven wholly-owned subsidiaries covering consulting, research, events, legal advisory, benchmarking, a non-profit foundation, and the recently integrated Whitebridge Consulting European practice.
