AI is not the answer to everything. In this episode of AI Unlocked, Toni Milushev, AVP of AI Solutions, shares a perspective we see across organizations: AI doesn’t fix everything — and treating it like it does is where most strategies fall apart. Real impact comes from applying AI with intention — focused on the problems that matter most, using the right technology behind it. That’s the shift: from adding AI everywhere to making AI actually work. #AIUnlockedSeries #Perficient #AIConsultancy #AIFirst #DifferentForReal

AI changed the rules. So we rewrote consulting. When it comes to AI, we rebuilt our approach when the old rules stopped working. We moved past the buzzwords to focus on clear thinking and bold execution. For us, it is about outcomes that matter—not just the latest trends.

Most AI pilots don't fail because the technology doesn't work. They fail because no one can prove the value. Forrester, Salesforce, and Perficient break down why in this on-demand session: Without clear baselines and specific KPIs, early wins disappear and teams lose momentum before AI delivers real business impact. The companies that succeed don't measure everything. They track a few metrics that matter — pipeline velocity, sales cycle time, service resolution — and review them weekly. Not monthly. Not when convenient. If you're ready to move from AI activity to AI results, this framework shows you how. Watch the session: https://lnkd.in/guupnNUB #Perficient #AIFirst #Salesforce #Forrester #AI

Appian World 2026 reinforced something we already believe: AI value isn't in the ambition. It's in the execution. Perficient accepted Appian's 2026 Delivery Excellence Award for the third year in a row. The work behind it: a healthcare member portal modernization delivered in six months, where embedded AI drove meaningful engagement, reduced customer care demand, and delivered a platform built to grow. That same focus carried onto the Appian World stage. Mwandama Mutanuka, vice president, joined a panel on AI-driven document processing — sharing how organizations are taking intelligent automation out of planning and into everyday work. We also demonstrated healthcare AI agents built on Appian — purpose-built to simplify document-heavy workflows and reduce administrative strain while supporting better member outcomes. Everything pointed in the same direction. Organizations are done debating AI's potential. They're measuring it in adoption rates, operational impact, and systems that perform under real pressure. Learn more about the award-winning work and how we partner with Appian to deliver AI that holds up: https://bit.ly/49Qn9P3 #AppianPartner #AppianWorld2026 #AIForHealthcare #IntelligentAutomation #HealthcareInnovation #Perficient #DifferentForReal

At HFS Spring Summit 2026, the conversation around AI centered on one thing: execution. Perficient CEO Yusuf Tayob joined leaders from across the industry for a thought-provoking discussion on what they’ve actually done to make AI real inside their organizations — and why many enterprises are still falling short. The takeaway: AI isn’t a bolt-on. It requires real disruption. At Perficient, we’ve evolved our business, embedding AI across how we operate and deliver, and investing in AI-first talent to drive real outcomes for our clients — faster, smarter, and at scale. #HFSHowToAI #AI #EnterpriseAI #AgenticAI
Phil Fersht opened the HFS Spring Summit 2026, setting the tone for two big days ahead with a clear message: the AI conversation has moved past experimentation. From there, the discussion sharpened. In the panel, “How to AI: The Leadership Reckoning,” the focus turned to accountability: what leaders must own, what needs to change inside operating models, and where AI ambition collides with execution reality. This wasn’t a hype session. It was a candid conversation about responsibility, pace, ROI, and what it actually takes to lead through this shift. More takeaways from the room coming shortly. #HFSHowToAI #AI #EnterpriseAI #ServicesAsSoftware #AgenticAI Phil Fersht Saurabh Gupta Joel M.

Most transformations don’t fail because the vision is wrong. They stall in execution. We see the same pattern again and again: unclear ownership, fractured teams, governance that shows up too late. The technology is rarely the issue. The structure is. This is where being Different. For Real. shows up. While the industry standard for a website transformation is 9 to 12 months, we delivered in just 12 weeks. Same talent. Same capabilities. Radically different outcomes — because of how the work actually gets done. One team. No handoffs. AI doing the work, not just framing it. Speed measured in weeks, not quarters. Not a reinvention. Not a case study. Just how we operate — and how our clients experience it. Experience what different looks like →https://lnkd.in/eC8ctb4X #Perficient #DifferentForReal
