Palo Alto, CA. December 17, 2025: knowmad mood, a premier digital transformation consultancy and OpsHub, the leader in non-disruptive, high-fidelity tool modernization are merging forces to give enterprises a non-disruptive path to modernization.
Guided by the ethos of ‘Growing Together’, this partnership enables organizations to retire legacy systems, consolidate systems, and accelerate digital transformation programs without compromising team productivity, customer responsiveness and data integrity.
Enterprises are under dual pressure: innovate faster to stay competitive, while cutting costs to protect margins. Legacy systems slow down delivery and inflate maintenance expenses, making tool modernization an immediate priority; not a long-term aspiration.
Enterprises have already spent heavily on “digital transformation” programs that ran over budget and failed to deliver. Executives are no longer willing to fund open ended projects, they expect predictable timelines, and an end to costly manual rework.
Regulators and customers alike expect every decision and interaction to be traceable and disruption-free. Enterprises need modernization that safeguards data richness, ensures audit readiness, and keeps teams productive throughout the transition.
The knowmad mood-OpsHub partnership combines OpsHub’s proven technology for zero disruption, high-data fidelity migrations with knowmad mood’s strategic consulting and delivery expertise.
What this means for enterprises:
“Enterprises don’t just need new tools, they need digitization programs that deliver certainty, continuity, and value,” said Francisco Calvo Vicente, Partnerships Director at knowmad mood. “Guided by our ethos of ‘Growing Together,’ this partnership with OpsHub allows us to help our clients retire legacy systems and embrace modernization, the non-disruptive way
“Modernization is not just about adopting new tools; it’s about ensuring the knowledge, history posture of an enterprise make the journey intact while maintaining SLA levels,” said Sandeep Jain, CEO of OpsHub, Inc. “Through our partnership with knowmad mood, we are giving enterprises the confidence to embrace platforms of their choice without disruption accelerating transformation while safeguarding what matters most.”
In today’s digital era, innovation reigns supreme over efficiency. Digital transformation forms the baseline required to innovate, and at its heart lies data. OpsHub offers solutions that break down data barriers, allowing organizations to fully leverage their digital core and drive innovation at scale.
While data is key to innovation, tapping into its full potential has been a challenge for several Fortune 500 enterprises that we have worked with over the last two decades. Outdated tools and processes, fragmented systems, and scattered data hinder an enterprise’s ability to innovate. OpsHub’s Enterprise-grade Intelligent Application Mesh Infrastructure is aimed at strengthening these pillars: capturing data at the right touchpoints, seamlessly sharing it across teams, and leveraging actionable insights from the data.
Our solutions are guided by the core belief of accelerating innovation for the modern enterprise. By empowering companies with the right tools to unlock value from their data, OpsHub aims to accelerate their innovation potential faster, better, and at scale.
