Xebia Axis now available: an Agentic Data Foundation that prepares enterprise data for AI. * 2 hrs ago ATLANTA, July 14, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) - Xebia, a global AI-first, digital transformation, and engineering leader, announced Xebia Axis: Agentic Data Foundation, a solution that gets enterprise data ready for AI with the speed of automation and the discipline of governed engineering. It combines proprietary AI agents with human data engineering teams to assess, migrate, monitor, and operate enterprise data platforms, completing migrations roughly three times faster than conventional, human-led delivery without trading away governance or data quality. Kourtney Kardashian and Travis Barker suffered miscarriage before welcoming son Rocky The solution addresses a change in how enterprise data is consumed. Data platforms were designed for people who can work around inconsistencies. Autonomous AI agents act on data as they find it. Xebia Axis makes the data, governance, and controls that those agents rely on consistent, auditable, and production-ready. Human teams set strategy and govern quality, while agents execute with roughly 10 times the leverage of a purely human-led team. At a Glance * What it is: A single solution that assesses, builds, migrates, monitors, and operates enterprise data platforms, providing the foundation for an Agentic Enterprise. * How it works: Human teams set strategy and govern quality throughout the lifecycle. Proprietary AI agents perform assessment, migration, monitoring, and remediation tasks. * Six modules: Readiness, Platform, Knowledge, Migration, Observability, and Operations. * Timeline: Organizations move from data sprawl to a production-ready, self-healing data platform in weeks rather than the months legacy approaches require. * Governance: Access control, audit logging, data residency, and bias controls are part of the platform rather than added afterward. * Interoperability: Works across major cloud platforms and large language models; no single-vendor requirement. "Enterprises have spent years moving data to the cloud, but many still cannot put AI into production because the underlying data and governance are not ready," said Anand Sahay, Chief Executive Officer, Xebia. "Xebia Axis closes that gap, so our clients can move to an Agentic Enterprise faster than competitors still wrestling with legacy data platforms." How Xebia Axis Works Xebia Axis covers the full data lifecycle in one solution rather than the separate tools enterprises typically assemble for each stage. Six modules run from initial assessment through ongoing operations: Readiness maps the data estate and produces a prioritized migration blueprint; Platform generates governed, policy-validated infrastructure as code; Knowledge converts content held in documents, email, and disconnected systems into a governed data layer for AI; Migration automates data and pipeline conversion with parity checks before cutover; Observability monitors data quality, service levels, and agent activity; and Operations performs root-cause analysis after go-live and submits fixes as pull requests for human review. Agents operate within controls for access, audit logging, and data residency, and data remains within the client's environment. Xebia Axis works across major cloud platforms, including Amazon Redshift, Google BigQuery, Databricks, Snowflake, and Microsoft Fabric, and major large language models, including Claude, OpenAI, Gemini, and Mistral AI. "The same agent technology that makes data debt urgent also makes it faster to resolve," said Niels Zeilemaker, Xebia's Global CTO Data & AI. "Xebia Axis puts purpose-built agents alongside senior engineers to build and run data platforms in production, with governance built into the platform itself." Built on Partner Platforms Xebia Axis is built to run on the platforms enterprises already rely on. As a partner of Amazon Web Services, Microsoft, Google Cloud, Databricks, and Snowflake, Xebia deploys it natively on each. It provisions governed environments, migrates workloads, and operates pipelines within the customer's chosen stack. Because the solution is platform- and model-agnostic, organizations can integrate these clouds and data platforms with their preferred large language models and adapt as their architecture evolves. Early Xebia Axis Engagements Across Industries * A global bank used the solution to consolidate fraud and credit data from separate batch systems into one governed platform with real-time access for its detection models. Cloud data-platform modernizations for banks of this size and medium complexity typically reduce infrastructure costs by 30 to 50 percent within the first two years. * A global airline applied Xebia Axis to modernize fragmented operational and customer data. By automating estate discovery, code conversion, and validation, Axis completes migrations roughly three times faster than conventional means. It brings traditional migrations, which usually last 12 to 18 months, down to a few months. * A global retailer used the solution to consolidate duplicate pipelines into a single, governed, continuously monitored platform to address data-quality failures. The retailer has benefited from more consistent, trustworthy data across its reporting and operations, with issues caught and resolved before they reach downstream systems. Availability Xebia Axis is available globally today. Organizations can begin with Xebia Axis for Readiness as a standalone assessment, which produces a data readiness score, estate inventory, and migration roadmap in two to four weeks; assessment fees are credited toward a subsequent migration.

It signals that the organisation has created conditions for genuinely rigorous, impactful AI work. "What makes this recognition meaningful for me is what it says about our craft.

That's what we have been trying to build at Xebia. Thank you to the entire team for raising the bar every single day. We are in a space that's evolving fast, and I think we are exactly where we need to be," Mayank Verma, Global Head, Data & AI, Xebia, reflected on the recognition. Trust, Ownership, and a Culture That Invests in People Employee feedback from Xebia's AI professionals reflects a culture defined by trust and collaborative intent. Across teams, professionals describe an environment where they are genuinely encouraged to take initiative, test ideas, and grow - supported by leadership and colleagues who are invested in shared outcomes rather than individual metrics. "This is such an exciting moment for me and for all of us at Xebia. Building the best firm for AI professionals reflects the culture I experience every day. There's a strong sense of trust here. I'm encouraged to take ownership, try new ideas, and keep growing. And what stands out most to me is the people and the leadership. Everyone is supportive, collaborative, and genuinely invested in each other's success. So yes, this award feels well-deserved, and I'm really proud to be a part of it," Bhargav Kul Shaurya, Data & AI, Xebia, reflected on what the certification means. This emphasis on trust and mutual investment is consistent with Xebia's broader people philosophy. The organisation structures its AI teams around 'chapters', focused collectives with deep domain expertise, allowing AI professionals to develop both technical depth and broader consulting capability across client engagements, rather than being siloed into narrow delivery roles. Certification and the AI Talent Landscape As enterprises across sectors accelerate their adoption of AI, the demand for professionals who can operate across the full lifecycle of AI programmes from problem framing and model development to deployment and scale continues to grow sharply. Workplace certifications such as AIM's Best Firm for AI Professionals help distinguish organisations that offer substantive technical environments from those presenting surface-level innovation narratives.
