While others are running AI pilots, Ascensus is delivering results that matter. At the Stevie® Awards for Women in Business, John S., CIO at Ascensus, shared how his team is achieving outcomes many enterprises are still chasing—a 30% reduction in IT costs, AI-enabled onboarding for 1,400+ associates, and an enterprise-wide readiness program shaped with trusted partners like Persistent. This is AI with accountability. Not hype. Not experimentation. Real, industry-shifting impact.
