DALLAS, March 23, 2026 – o9 Solutions, a leading software company that is powering enterprise planning and decisioning models across 30-plus industry verticals with its groundbreaking, AI-powered Digital Brain platform, today announced that it has been recognized in three new Gartner® Magic Quadrant™ reports published in 2026.
o9 has been named a Leader in both the 2026 Gartner Magic Quadrant for Supply Chain Planning: Discrete Industries and the 2026 Gartner Magic Quadrant for Supply Chain Planning: Process Industries, based on its Ability to Execute and Completeness of Vision.
The Company was also named a Niche Player in the inaugural 2026 Gartner Magic Quadrant for Decision Intelligence Platforms. Gartner defines Decision Intelligence Platforms as technology that combines decision modeling, analytics and AI to augment and automate decision-making and drive business outcomes at scale.
o9 is one of the only two vendors in the 2026 Magic Quadrant reports for Supply Chain Planning that was also included in the new Magic Quadrant for Decision Intelligence Platforms.
o9 views recognition in all three Magic Quadrant reports as validation of the breadth and flexibility of its Digital Brain platform to drive enterprise-wide decisioning and execution capabilities. The Company believes it is also a reflection of the high levels of client adoption and satisfaction that translates into hundreds of millions - even billions - of dollars in value realization across key operational metrics. Renowned for complex, global supply chain and integrated business planning transformations, o9’s platform was built from inception to be a unified, end-to-end enterprise planning and decision-making platform that connects data, domain knowledge and execution across various functions such as supply chain, commercial and financial operations.
Powered by o9’s proprietary Enterprise Knowledge Graph and augmented with path-breaking AI advancements, the Digital Brain creates a live digital representation of an enterprises’ value chain. This enables organizations to detect risk and opportunities earlier, evaluate tradeoffs in real-time and translate insights directly into coordinated operational action. Rather than operating through isolated plans and analytics, enterprises can institutionalize decision logic across functions and continuously improve performance through embedded monitoring and learning.
The key to unlocking the power of the Digital Brain to its fullest extent is the newly launched APEX Model - o9’s operating model for an era defined by volatility, uncertainty, complexity and ambiguity (VUCA). The APEX Model brings together Agile, Adaptive and Autonomous Planning and Execution that connects strategy to outcomes. It provides enterprises with a Human + AI decision system designed to rapidly respond to disruptions with continuously recomputed plans; learn and refine algorithms, policies and playbooks with each cycle; and progressively automate well-governed decisions and workflows. Combining the power of o9’s Digital Brain platform with the APEX Model allows enterprises to reclaim value leakage that occurs when they operate in silos, decisions move slowly through layers, and learning is not institutionalized.
Recognition in the 2026 Magic Quadrant reports builds on o9’s position as the only vendor recognized as a Customers’ Choice in the 2025 Gartner® Peer Insights™ Voice of the Customer report, which o9 believes underscores the value its enterprise clients are realizing in terms of faster impact, higher adoption and stronger execution. o9 has also been named in several previous Magic Quadrant for Supply Chain Planning Solutions, including the 2025 assessment.
Chakri Gottemukkala, Co-founder and CEO, o9, said, “Enterprises today operate in an environment where VUCA conditions are redefining how decisions must be made. The next phase of business transformation is not about adding more analytics, but about building a connected, enterprise-wide system that links strategy, planning and execution. The o9 Digital Brain and APEX Model create the future-proof foundation to execute cross-domain decisions with greater agility, accountability and precision at speed and scale.”
