KMS Technology

What KMS Technology does

KMS Technology is a US-headquartered strategic engineering firm founded in 2009 and headquartered in Atlanta that delivers AI-native digital engineering, consulting, and digital transformation services to enterprise clients. The company serves organizations across automotive, financial services, healthcare and life sciences, high-tech, insurance, logistics, manufacturing, private equity, and retail and consumer goods, with named enterprise clients including BMW, Continental, Hertz, InPost, Jabil, ABB, Nissan, Volvo, and Woodward. Service offerings are organized into eight practice areas spanning advisory and technical consulting, AI consulting, AI-native product engineering, application modernization, cloud and DevOps, data engineering, quality engineering, and systems integration.

The technical core of KMS is the proprietary Velox AI orchestration platform, which coordinates specialized AI agents and tools across the software development lifecycle under a Spec-Driven Engineering (SDE) methodology and an Idea-to-Impact (i2i) closed-loop feedback model. The platform is designed to keep AI systems reliable and governable at scale, and works alongside third-party tools such as Cursor and Claude Code. Beyond Velox, the company has productized computer vision offerings (Worker Safety and Vision Intelligence, co-developed with SAS), data platform accelerators, and AI readiness/POV workshops, with the December 2025 acquisition of Addepto adding a near-pure AI engineer bench and European delivery presence.

KMS operates a professional services revenue model delivered through project-based engagements, embedded squad models, and an evolving outcome-based pricing layer, with all pricing quote-based and contract terms typically multi-year. The company is privately held, backed by Sunstone Partners since 2024, and reported FY2024 revenue of $276.9M with approximately 1,300 professionals across offices in the United States, Vietnam, Mexico, and Poland. Go-to-market is anchored in direct enterprise field sales, supplemented by strategic vendor partnerships (AWS, SAS, Databricks, Katalon) and a private equity channel via Sunstone's portfolio. As of May 2026, Jason Wojahn serves as CEO, succeeding founder David Pooler, with a stated mandate to accelerate the AI-native execution strategy.
