o9 Solutions Announces FY2025 Business Highlights and New Operating Model "APEX Model"

o9 Solutions, a provider of supply chain planning platforms (Headquarters: Dallas, Texas, USA; CEO: Chakri Gottemukkala; hereinafter referred to as 'the Company'), has announced its business highlights for the 2025 fiscal year.

In FY2025, the Company achieved the acquisition of new customers, over 130 go-lives, and 28 consecutive quarters of ARR (Annual Recurring Revenue) growth. These achievements confirm the growing demand for faster, learning-based decision-making in the VUCA era.

Furthermore, the Company announced the 'APEX Model' last year, an operating model designed to address the new normal of increasing uncertainty and complexity. This model utilizes agentic AI to evolve end-to-end decision-making capabilities across all aspects and is designed to quickly identify and eliminate value leakage occurring throughout the value chain.

The APEX Model is a set of capabilities that realize Agile, Adaptive, and Autonomous Planning and Execution. It directly links strategy to growth and revenue enhancement, enabling stable quarterly results generation. By adopting this model, which presupposes the collaboration of humans and AI, enterprise companies will be able to achieve the following:

- Detailed and rapid detection of risks and opportunities across the entire value chain - Analysis of demand forecasts and formulation of improvement scenarios - Learning from the gaps between plans and actual results - Continuous improvement of data, policies, and playbooks with each cycle - Step-by-step automation of well-managed decision-making and workflows

The Company's supply chain planning platform, the 'o9 Digital Brain', serves as the technology foundation that supports this APEX Model. The core technology that made this possible is a new EKG (Enterprise Knowledge Graph) utilizing neuro-symbolic AI. This technology fuses the strengths of neural AI, which Large Language Models (LLMs) excel at, with traditional EKGs (symbolic AI), which have a proven track record of solving large-scale decision-making in large enterprises.

With the APEX Model, the authority for situation detection, analysis, and decision-making shifts to the front lines, reducing layers between the front lines and management while eliminating cross-departmental delays and friction. By incorporating learning processes into daily decision-making workflows, organizations can expect continuous improvement beyond regular planning cycles.

The APEX Model enables companies to plan, execute, learn, and improve more quickly based on a single plan as one team, strengthening collaboration across the entire value chain and promoting a new level of value creation.

Chakri Gottemukkala, CEO and Co-Founder of the Company, stated: 'When LLMs emerged, we assessed their strengths and weaknesses in enterprise decision-making. With our roots in AI, we have focused on integrating LLMs with EKGs to solve the extremely difficult challenge of maximizing operational value. With our breakthrough neuro-symbolic AI technology powering the APEX Model, companies can accelerate cross-departmental improvement through systematic learning via post-analysis. It enables the acquisition of capabilities to respond immediately to changes in the market environment and the continuous sophistication of operations. Indeed, APEX will be the strategic differentiator in business for the coming years.'
