Forrester recognizes what moves the business. Ambition or vision alone, doesn’t cut to the chase. It rewards execution at a scale and recognizes the impact it has created. Being a leader in the Forrester Wave, three times over, takes a system built for scale, a strategy built for outcomes and measurable transformation across the customer lifecycle.  
 
Here are five enterprise-tested lessons from Tredence’s climb to the top: 

Shift from Reporting to Real-Time Decisioning 

To lead in customer analytics, the focus must shift from insight delivery to enterprise-wide decision intelligence. That means building systems where insight is not the end goal, but the starting point for action.  

At Tredence, we have embedded agentic AI into CX workflows, creating intelligent agents that drive, automate and optimize decisions across marketing, sales, operations and service. Beyond conceptual pilots, they are production-grade systems designed to reduce time-to-value and create measurable business outcomes, in real time. 

If your analytics infrastructure stops at insight generation, you're not transforming the business; you're simply documenting it. 

Accelerate Value Where It Matters 

Speed matters, but only when it leads to an impact. Enterprise leaders often get stuck in long, linear cycles of design, development and deployment. By the time value is delivered, the business need has evolved. 

Tredence’s Foundry & Factory model is an approach where engineering and delivery begin while strategy is still being shaped. This enables concurrent build cycles, faster pilots and reduced go-to-market timelines. 
 
A glimpse of the outcomes: 

  • Over 100 GenAI pilots delivered.
  • 40+ scaled CXM use cases across industries.
  • Tangible results in weeks, not quarters 

When speed is synchronized with business intent, transformation scales rapidly. 

Codify What Works, then Scale it 

Sustainable CX delivery comes from codified intelligence. The fastest path to scalable CX impact is through reusable AI/ML assets, modular architectures and industry-specific accelerators. 


What works in retail media can be adapted to telecom churn. What powers next-best action in CPG can drive personalization in financial services. We’ve co-developed solutions with Databricks, Google Cloud, Snowflake, Azure and AWS, ensuring interoperability and composability from day one.

Enterprise leaders scale by design, reusing proven assets, adapting with context and accelerating impact. 

 

Build for Enterprise-Wide Impact & Cross-functional Traction 

Forrester leadership is earned through consistency across the business. Forrester leadership requires both breadth and depth. It is not enough to win in one pocket of the business. 

Customer value isn’t created in silos. It’s shaped across marketing, commerce, service, loyalty and product, through connected strategies that align around the customer. Today’s customer journeys span touchpoints and departments. Your CXM strategy should be the same. That means designing solutions that scale across industries. 

Tredence was recognized for enabling this kind of scale and expanding its CXM operating model into tech, media, telecom, banking, healthcare and life sciences. The approach flexes to fit different business models while maintaining speed, structure, and measurable results.  

The value of CX lies in its ability to unify business functions around measurable customer outcomes.

 

Drive Strategic Alignment That Shapes Enterprise Thinking 

You know you’re leading when your clients start adopting your language, beyond your solutions. Strategic influence is measured by how deeply your thinking shapes a client’s business. 

In the 2025 Forrester Wave, a reference client highlighted a shift in their internal decision frameworks following engagement with Tredence. This outcome reflects the kind of strategic alignment that extends beyond solution delivery into how organizations define and scale customer value.  

When clients apply your principles across teams and decision cycles, the relationship moves from being transactional to foundational. Long-term impact comes from embedding a new way of thinking that drives clarity, consistency and enterprise-wide momentum.
