Ascendion, a leading provider of software engineering services powered by artificial intelligence, has announced the acquisition of Moodys Northwest Consulting. Moodys is a well-regarded firm specializing in product strategy and digital transformation. This acquisition expands Ascendion’s ability to help large organizations develop and scale intelligent software products with clear business outcomes.
By combining forces, the two companies will offer a comprehensive approach to product strategy, agile delivery, and advanced software development—bridging the gap between vision and execution. The goal: deliver software that not only works, but drives real-world results.
“At Ascendion, we’re committed to delivering measurable value,” said Karthik Krishnamurthy, CEO of Ascendion. “Innovation must be matched by solid execution. With Moodys’ deep experience in product strategy and our AI-driven development methods, we’re helping clients move faster and more effectively from ideas to outcomes.”
While AI is transforming how software is built, product management remains critical in ensuring those solutions align with business needs. Without clear direction and leadership, companies risk producing tools that miss their mark or go unused.
With the integration of Moodys into its operations, Ascendion has established a dedicated Product Management Center of Excellence. Moodys brings with it a wealth of experience, industry-tested frameworks, and a proven ability to align product development efforts with clear business objectives. Their methods have consistently delivered tangible results, including up to an 8x increase in user adoption, a reduction in software defects by as much as 90%, and a two- to threefold improvement in development speed.
This partnership enhances Ascendion’s ability to deliver high-impact solutions by combining Moodys’ strategic capabilities with Ascendion’s global delivery model and AI-powered platform, AAVA. The integration ensures seamless collaboration across product management, design, artificial intelligence, and engineering teams. AI-driven insights are embedded throughout the development process, enabling smarter decision-making and faster iterations.
Together, the combined strength of both organizations allows for real-time performance tracking that’s directly tied to business goals. Clients benefit from a global service model backed by local expertise, ensuring a responsive and tailored approach to their needs. This alignment of product strategy with execution across every stage of the software lifecycle positions Ascendion to deliver scalable, efficient, and measurable outcomes.
“Our clients are under pressure to innovate quickly while keeping customer experience at the forefront,” said Ameet Moodbidri, CEO of Moodys. “They need strong product leadership paired with scalable, intelligent engineering. Joining Ascendion gives us the tools and reach to meet that demand.”
This acquisition supports Ascendion’s broader strategy to deliver impactful software solutions powered by AI at scale. Moodys will continue to operate under its name and leadership while extending its services through Ascendion’s global infrastructure.
“This move gives Ascendion an even stronger ability to deliver software that performs, grows with the business, and produces tangible results,” said Hiten Patel, Chairman of Ascendion. “By uniting our strengths, we’re helping clients close the gap between strategy and execution—and realize the full value of their digital investments.”
Ascendion designs and delivers AI-powered software for some of the world’s leading enterprises. Serving clients across North America, Europe, and APAC, the company specializes in applied AI, cloud, data, experience design, and digital workforce solutions. With a team of more than 11,000 experts and a presence in over 40 global locations, Ascendion combines scale, speed, and innovation to solve complex business challenges.
