It’s been a great first quarter, and I’d like to take a moment to reflect on all that we’ve achieved since bringing together three market leaders in Enterprise Architecture. The merger of Bizzdesign, MEGA, and Alfabet has created a powerful force in the industry – one that’s already delivering results. Together, we’re building something new: a unified organization with a bold vision, strong momentum, and the expertise to help our customers navigate constant change.
For the first time as a combined company, we shared insight into our scale and momentum. We’ve now built a $115 million revenue business with strong ARR and a healthy EBITDA profit margin. With 600+ employees and over 2,000 customers, we’re continuing to scale with purpose.
Growth requires evolution. As we grow, we balance entrepreneurial agility with the structured processes that support scale. Concepts like target operating models, business process optimization, and strategic alignment are in our DNA. I’m incredibly proud of how quickly our teams have adapted to our new identity.
At our core, we remain focused on driving sustainable, profitable growth. Our current combined revenue growth rate over 20% is strong—but our ambition is to exceed 30%.
To stay competitive, organizations must move fast and stay flexible. That means aligning IT and business to plan, fund, design, and deliver change – while managing risk and ensuring resilience. Transformation at speed is the path to growth – not growing pains.
Bizzdesign is no longer solely an enterprise architecture company and is positioned better than ever to serve the evolving market needs. Our expanded portfolio now includes solutions in Strategic Portfolio Management and Governance, Risk, and Compliance (GRC). Collectively, we call this expanded vision Enterprise Transformation.
This comprehensive solution set uniquely positions us to support full-spectrum enterprise transformation. It strengthens our ability to grow client relationships, increase value for each customer, and reinforce our leadership in the market.
With AI integrated at the core of our offerings, we’re not just responding to industry shifts—we’re helping define them. This ensures our clients have access to best-in-class innovation.
One of our top priorities is making Bizzdesign a great place to work. We spend a large part of our lives at work—so it should be meaningful, engaging, and yes, fun.
We already have a world-class team. To take the next step, we’re committed to hiring and retaining top talent – welcoming the best people in the industry to help us serve new markets and build lasting impact.
As we finalize our post-merger integration, we’re laying the foundations for a unified culture, shared values, and modern HR practices—all with an entrepreneurial mindset at the center.
I want Bizzdesign to be a place where people feel safe taking risks and learning from failure. Mistakes are not setbacks—they’re opportunities to grow. When we learn and adapt, we move forward stronger.
This spirit of innovation is a key differentiator. While some competitors have become rigid and slow-moving, we are building something agile, bold, and truly game changing.
The SaaS industry has matured rapidly, and we aim to operate in line with best-in-class standards—from sales and agile development to financial reporting and operational excellence.
Our strategy for 2025 is anchored in four key pillars:
By focusing on these pillars, we’re setting up our business for sustainable scale, innovation, and impact.
This is a transformational time for Bizzdesign.
With strong leadership, top-tier talent, and a clear strategic vision, we’re ready to lead the way—driving innovation and building an extraordinary place to work.
