Analytics8, a Chicago-based data and analytics consultancy, has received recognition for its delivery framework. The firm was granted the Data Management Innovation Award from AI Breakthrough, a market intelligence organization, in its ninth annual AI Breakthrough Awards program.

The AI Breakthrough Awards recognize the achievements of companies in the areas of agentic AI, machine learning, generative AI, robotics, AI hardware and computer vision. Accelr8, Analytics8’s delivery framework, is a coordinated system of AI agents, automation and practitioner oversight designed to standardize and accelerate project delivery. The model context protocol-powered solution provides a secure way for models to interact with organizations’ databases, APIs and code repositories.

“The impact on data management outcomes with our Accelr8 framework is substantial. In a real engagement, our client reduced a modernization timeline by 90 percent, while creating a governed data foundation that supports consistent reporting and their future AI initiatives,” Tom Munley, Analytics8’s CEO, said in a statement. “This recognition reinforces our commitment to helping organizations modernize data environments faster and more securely through a practical, standards-driven approach.”
