Hakkoda, a modern data consultancy, today announced that it has been named an IDC Innovator in the report, IDC Innovators: Artificial Intelligence Professional Services, 2025 (Doc # US52792925, January 2025). We believe this recognition highlights Hakkoda’s pragmatic data modernization ethos, which blends industry depth and a deeply collaborative, results-oriented approach to enterprise AI implementations.
IDC Innovators reports recognize emerging vendors with revenue <$100 million that demonstrate groundbreaking business models or innovative new technologies—or both.
“As the AI market continues to pivot from experimentation to adoption in 2025, access to specialized knowledge and development skills will be more critical than ever to enable buyers to assess and deploy new AI technology solutions appropriately for their enterprise needs,” said Jennifer Hamel, Senior Research Director of Enterprise Intelligence Services at IDC.
Hakkoda’s specialized focus on five key industries—healthcare and life sciences, financial services, supply chain and logistics, retail and consumer packaged goods (CPG), and public sector institutions—sets it apart from broader AI service providers. By hiring vertical leaders with hands-on industry experience and leveraging proprietary, industry-specific tooling, Hakkoda is able to create tailored solutions that drive ROI and ensure clients can meet the evolving demands of the digital economy.
“We are honored to be named an IDC Innovator,” said Erik Duffield, CEO of Hakkoda. “We believe this recognition validates our commitment to delivering practical, results-driven AI solutions and services. At Hakkoda, we are dedicated to helping businesses across industries like healthcare, financial services, retail, CPG, supply chain, and the public sector adapt, modernize, and innovate without losing sight of addressing their most urgent pain points and achieving their objectives.”
