ZS announces a significant investment in worldwide self-serve AI-infused products

ZS, a global management consulting and technology firm, announced today the formation of a dedicated ZS Platform and Products business unit to accelerate further innovation and expansion of its software-as-a-service (SaaS) offerings in response to the strong client adoption of its cloud-based platforms and products. ZS has heavily invested in its cloud, AI, and analytics platforms since launching SaaS solutions more than ten years ago. ZS's SaaS innovations have given clients in various industries—including technology, food and beverage, travel, hospitality, and life sciences—actionable insights.

What is ZS?

ZS is a technology and management consultancy company dedicated to revolutionising global healthcare and other industries. The company uses the power of data, science, and technology products along with cutting-edge analytics to assist clients in making better decisions, providing creative solutions, and enhancing outcomes for everyone. ZS was established in 1983 and now employs over 13,000 people across 35 locations globally. 

Company's Vision

As a further indication of the importance of platforms and products to ZS's long-term success, the company has appointed ZS Chairman Jaideep Bajaj to head the new business unit. According to Fortune Business Insights, the Software as a Service (SaaS) market is anticipated to grow from $237.48 billion in 2022 to $908.21 billion by 2030.

"ZS clients are facing a wide array of business challenges. While platforms and products are not new to ZS, creating this new business unit will allow us to better serve clients with complementary, world-class product and consulting services," Bajaj said. "Through our historic consulting services and technology offerings, we'll continue to help companies realize their digital operating models, drive business transformation and respond to changing market needs by using ZS's AI-powered, globally applicable, self-serve technologies."

ZS will continue providing industry-leading advisory services.

As it has done for 40 years, ZS will continue providing industry-leading advisory services. Still, according to Bajaj, the company is increasing its investment in its unique technology. This new business unit manages ZAIDYNTM by ZS and Max.AI platforms and products.
