Altman Solon Adopts Mindbreeze InSpire to Transform Knowledge Management Across Global Teams
Mindbreeze, a leading global provider of AI-powered knowledge management solutions, today announced that Altman Solon, the world’s largest strategy consulting firm focused exclusively on telecommunications, media, and technology (TMT), has officially purchased Mindbreeze InSpire. This marks a significant milestone in Altman Solon’s ongoing digital transformation, aimed at unifying global knowledge access and enhancing operational efficiency.
The collaboration between the two organizations began in July 2025 with a trial deployment of the Mindbreeze Insight Workplace, designed to integrate Altman Solon’s SharePoint and web-based data sources into a single, centralized point of access. This trial highlighted how AI-driven search and intelligence can streamline information retrieval, simplify collaboration, and accelerate decision-making across complex, multi-location consulting teams.
Challenges in Global Knowledge Management
Before adopting Mindbreeze, Altman Solon faced a challenge common to consulting firms: efficiently accessing and sharing organizational knowledge across rapidly growing and geographically dispersed teams. While the firm had developed a robust SharePoint infrastructure for managing structured project data, its native search capabilities were limited, restricting visibility across multiple repositories.
Project information was scattered across secure storage environments, making it difficult to generate a holistic view of firm knowledge. Consultants often spent significant time manually consolidating data, slowing onboarding, delaying project ramp-ups, and impacting client delivery.
In a knowledge-driven organization, even seemingly straightforward questions such as “Who leads this project?” or “What is the fiber penetration rate in Mexico?” require immediate, accurate, and trusted answers. Altman Solon recognized the need for a unified intelligence interface to provide these insights firmwide, allowing consultants to make faster, more informed decisions and improve client outcomes.
Rapid Implementation Timeline
The adoption of Mindbreeze InSpire followed a highly efficient and structured timeline:
- July 7, 2025: Commencement of data indexing and Insight Workplace setup.
- August 11, 2025: User acceptance testing began ahead of schedule due to strong positive feedback from early adopters.
- September 8, 2025: Altman Solon finalized the purchase of Mindbreeze InSpire for a three-year term, with a full company-wide rollout immediately planned.
- September 12, 2025: System went live, providing all consultants with unified access to organizational knowledge.
This timeline demonstrates both the agility of Mindbreeze’s deployment capabilities and the proactive engagement of Altman Solon’s teams, ensuring minimal disruption to daily operations while rapidly achieving measurable results.
Transforming Knowledge Access with AI
With Mindbreeze, Altman Solon has fundamentally transformed how consultants interact with firm knowledge. Previously, navigating multiple systems yielded inconsistent search results and fragmented information. Now, all structured and unstructured project data is indexed, linked, and accessible through a single AI-powered interface.
Key benefits realized include:
- Intelligent, context-rich search: Consultants can retrieve insights, historical benchmarks, and project data in seconds. AI-powered natural language search allows users to ask questions as they would in conversation and receive accurate, source-cited responses.
- Enhanced project ramp-up: New team members can quickly familiarize themselves with project context, leadership, and documentation, reducing onboarding time and improving early project contributions.
- Seamless collaboration: Teams can now access a shared knowledge ecosystem that eliminates silos, allowing for faster, more coordinated decision-making.
- Improved client delivery: With immediate access to relevant information, consultants can provide clients with timely, data-driven recommendations.
The system’s AI-driven Q&A and recommendation capabilities mean that even complex queries are answered instantly, with clear citations and context, fostering confidence in decision-making across teams.
