“Our years delivering software to large global enterprises showed us Chief Investment Officers (CIOs) are struggling to manage sprawling IT infrastructure costs with legacy solutions and spreadsheets that are inflexible, slow to deploy, and expensive to maintain. We knew how to solve this by leveraging AI,” said Ravi Kuppan, Yarken Chief Executive Officer.

It is noted that the ITFM market is projected to grow at 12.7 percent per annum and hit $14 billion (according to Business Research Insights, forecast period 2025-2033).
