Recognition honors organizations delivering measurable results through applied, production-scale artificial intelligence
PALO ALTO, Calif., March 26, 2026 — SymphonyAI has been named a winner in the 2026 Artificial Intelligence Excellence Awards across three categories: Orchestration, Manufacturing, and Financial Crime Management. Presented by the Business Intelligence Group, the awards recognize organizations, products, teams, and individuals that are applying artificial intelligence in ways that drive real, measurable impact.
The 2026 Artificial Intelligence Excellence Awards honor achievement across a broad range of industries and use cases, spotlighting the companies and leaders moving AI beyond experimentation and into practical, accountable deployment. This year’s program recognized winners across 36 industries and more than 15 countries.
SymphonyAI was recognized for three distinct AI systems:
- Eureka AI platform (Orchestration) — a vertical AI platform that orchestrates models, agents, and human expertise across industry-specific workflows, enabling organizations to move from AI experimentation to reliable, governed operations at scale.
- IRIS Foundry (Manufacturing) — a governed industrial system of intelligence that orchestrates data, workflows, and AI agents into closed-loop actions, helping manufacturers move from prediction to resolution across production, maintenance, and quality operations.
- Sensa Risk Intelligence (Financial Crime Management) — an enterprise-wide risk intelligence system that connects detection, investigation, and action, continuously learning from outcomes to improve financial crime management and compliance decisioning.
Through these innovations, SymphonyAI has helped organizations accelerate time-to-value, reduce operational complexity, improve decision accuracy, and deliver measurable business outcomes across industries.
“AI has arrived! 2026 is about execution, accountability, and results,” said Russ Fordyce, Chief Recognition Officer, Business Intelligence Group. “SymphonyAI stood out because its work across multiple categories reflects where the market is headed: practical AI that solves real problems, earns trust, and delivers measurable value. This recognition highlights a company that is helping define what meaningful progress in AI looks like.”
“AI is no longer about isolated models or experimentation—it’s about systems that operate reliably inside real workflows and deliver outcomes at scale,” said Sanjay Dhawan, CEO of SymphonyAI. “These awards reflect our focus on building systems of intelligence that orchestrate data, decisions, and actions—whether that’s coordinating enterprise workflows, resolving issues in industrial operations, or continuously improving financial crime management through real-world feedback.”
The Artificial Intelligence Excellence Awards celebrate the people and organizations leading the next phase of AI adoption, where innovation is judged not just by novelty, but by impact. Winners are selected based on how effectively they are using AI to improve performance, reduce friction, solve meaningful problems, and move their industries forward.
