Trace3's AI Business Soars 122% with Agentic AI Focus

Trace3, a technology consulting firm, saw its AI business grow by 122% last year. The company helps blue-chip clients adopt artificial intelligence, particularly "agentic AI," which enables machines to make their own decisions. Overall, Trace3 captured $2.8 billion in revenue last year, a nearly 17% increase. They expect 15% revenue growth in 2026. CEO Joe Quaglia describes this AI transformation as multi-year and long-term. He says the biggest growth is in helping clients deploy agents to leverage AI's power. Many clients, including Fortune 1000 companies, are working towards agentic AI. This involves ensuring they have the right infrastructure. Trace3, acquired by Apollo Funds last year, has 1,460 employees. This trend shows a significant shift in how businesses are adopting advanced AI capabilities.
