OptiValue Tek, SFJ join forces on AI-led enterprise revamp

Mon, 9th Mar 2026

OptiValue Tek has formed a strategic alliance with SFJ Business Solutions to pursue large-scale transformation work with Fortune 500 companies worldwide, as corporate spending shifts toward modernising legacy systems and expanding the use of artificial intelligence in operations.

The arrangement combines SFJ Business Solutions' advisory and ecosystem-orchestration capabilities with OptiValue Tek's engineering and delivery operations. It covers programme design, implementation and management for multi-year change initiatives.

OptiValue Tek is an IT services and consulting provider. SFJ Business Solutions operates across technology services and skilling, focusing on workforce transformation and digital upskilling in markets including India, the UAE, the US and Singapore.

Alliance scope

The alliance focuses on enterprise modernisation projects that combine technology replacement, operating model redesign and skills development. The partners framed the work around updating legacy infrastructure and establishing AI-led operating models.

Large organisations are reassessing their technology estates, which include older, customised systems that can be costly to maintain and difficult to integrate with newer applications. Many also face pressure to improve resilience and manage operational risk during technology change programmes.

OptiValue Tek and SFJ Business Solutions said the partnership goes beyond conventional digital transformation programmes, with an emphasis on building "intelligent, adaptive enterprises" that can respond more quickly to changing market conditions.

Agentic systems

A key pillar is the deployment of agentic intelligence frameworks-autonomous, AI-driven systems for business and IT operations. These frameworks use software agents to carry out tasks across applications and workflows based on policies and data inputs.

Planned use cases include autonomous workflows, orchestration across IT and business systems, predictive decision-making based on analytics, and human-AI collaboration. The partners also pointed to "self-optimising" operations as an intended outcome.

Interest in agent-based AI has increased as enterprises assess how generative AI can move from pilots into day-to-day work. Many organisations continue to struggle with governance, data access and integration of AI tools into existing processes, particularly where controls and audit requirements apply.

Delivery model

The delivery approach will draw on Global Capability Centres, engineering platforms and AI-driven automation frameworks. Global Capability Centres, often located in major talent markets, have become a common model for multinational firms seeking scale in engineering, operations and shared services.

The alliance positions transformation as a single operating model that combines strategy, technology, talent and execution. The partners said the approach would reduce transformation risk and "accelerate time-to-value".

Across the industry, service providers are responding to the demand for bundled offerings that cover advisory and delivery services, as well as training and change management. Many enterprises are also looking to rationalise supplier lists and consolidate work with fewer partners.

Market focus

The alliance targets Fortune 500 organisations globally, although the firms did not provide a customer list or financial targets. They also did not disclose whether the alliance includes joint investment, shared intellectual property, or a formal revenue-sharing structure.

In the announcement, OptiValue Tek described itself as a global IT services company. In its corporate description, it also presented itself as a technology and strategic advisory business working across AI, data engineering, cybersecurity, cloud modernisation and smart infrastructure solutions.

SFJ Business Solutions said its customer base includes Fortune 500 companies, mid-to-large corporates, government bodies and academic institutions. It also cited work in workforce transformation, enterprise IT training and generative AI enablement.

Executive views

Ashish Kumar, Managing Director of OptiValue Tek, said the company plans to link strategy with delivery at scale.

"This partnership represents a strong convergence of strategic vision and global execution capabilities. Together with SFJ Business Solutions, we aim to help Fortune 500 enterprises operationalize AI at scale, modernize their core systems, and create intelligent, future-ready businesses. Our focus is on delivering measurable impact and enabling sustainable enterprise growth."

K. Sivasarthy of SFJ Business Solutions said the alliance will combine advisory leadership with global delivery strength.

"By combining our advisory leadership with OptiValue Tek's global delivery strength, we are building a powerful transformation platform for Fortune 500 organizations. This alliance enables us to deliver intelligent, resilient, and autonomous enterprise ecosystems that will redefine how global businesses operate," said Sivasarthy.

The partners expect demand to remain driven by AI adoption, operational resilience and modernisation of core systems, with transformation programmes increasingly structured around ongoing change rather than one-off system replacements.
