Story

Pitched as a single AI-native layer against vendor lock-in, data replication, and unchecked AI costs across IT, finance, sales, and HR at once, with Sanofi, Snowflake, Under Armour and Elevance Health named (Elementum). Claimed outcomes: 60% fewer Tier-1 IT tickets, 3x faster invoice cycles, 40% more selling time per rep weekly, 80% of HR requests resolved without human touch. None of it is dated or independently verified, and referring only to "the big SaaS vendors" without naming one is a choice. Vendor claims, filed as such.
