The customer base includes large global enterprises such as Microsoft, IBM, and LinkedIn, with reported customer retention in the 87-91% range. The company has been pursuing the largest digital transformation in its history since 2023, and in October 2024 signed the first global Vested security agreement with IBM, signaling a shift toward outcome-based partnership contracts.
