Making foresight fit for growth
As a global technology consulting and digital solutions company, LTIMindtree empowers leading enterprises in banking, insurance, energy, manufacturing, and beyond to prepare for the future through digital transformation. These organizations face mounting pressure to modernize legacy systems, comply with rapidly evolving regulations, and adopt emerging technologies—such as AI, quantum computing, and cyber-physical systems—to achieve meaningful business outcomes.
In this fast-paced environment, distinguishing short-term hype from long-term opportunity is increasingly difficult. LTIMindtree’s established foresight practice, LTIMindtree Research, previously relied on static publishing cycles, limiting the speed and reach of insights. To scale thought leadership, equip client-facing teams with timely intelligence, and drive new business, LTIMindtree needed a digital-first approach—one that could transform emerging technology intelligence into a strategic growth engine.
The case for Crystal
Before implementing Crystal, LTIMindtree had already demonstrated excellence in foresight through its Tech Beacon reports. As the company expanded globally, it recognized the need to elevate its capabilities further. Powered by the ITONICS Innovation OS, Crystal centralized research intelligence and insights—strengthening LTIMindtree’s leadership in insight-led innovation and sales.
