Bloomfire Named a Trend-Setting Product of 2026 by KMWorld Magazine

AUSTIN, Texas – September 9, 2026 – Bloomfire has been selected as a Trend-Setting Product of 2026 by industry experts at KMWorld Magazine for the second year in a row.

According to Bloomfire’s 2026 Guide to Enterprise Intelligence Systems, more than half of enterprise workers bypassed their company’s AI tools in the past month, opting to complete work manually instead. Despite a 38% year-over-year increase in AI budgets, an estimated 40% of that spending underperforms, and three in four executives admit their organization’s AI strategy is “more for show than substance.” KMWorld recognized Bloomfire’s AI-powered platform as a trend-setting product for helping organizations close that gap and put fragmented knowledge to work.

Bloomfire actively connects people, data, and workflows across organizations, moving beyond the simple store-and-retrieve approach of traditional systems. Its AI engine continuously analyzes enterprise content, automatically resolves outdated or duplicate information through Bloomfire’s self-healing knowledge capabilities, and delivers relevant insights directly to employees at the point of need—within the platform itself or through Synapse, Bloomfire’s conversational AI assistant available in Slack, Microsoft Teams, and Salesforce.

“Every year, the gap between the AI our industry sells and the results organizations actually see becomes harder to ignore,” said Philip Brittan, CEO of Bloomfire. “The problem isn’t a lack of AI — it’s that knowledge inside most companies still lives as fragmented, disconnected pieces rather than an integrated system. Enterprise Intelligence closes that gap by creating connective tissue across the organization, so insight reaches the people who need it, the moment they need it. Being named a Trend-Setting Product by KMWorld for the second year in a row tells us we’re building toward the right future.”

KMWorld’s Trend-Setting Products list of 2026 showcases advanced products and services that are leading the way in innovation and helping organizations achieve their knowledge management goals. The recognition follows a year of continued momentum for Bloomfire, including being named CIOReview’s AI-Powered Knowledge Management Software Company of the Year for the third consecutive year and a new partnership with Worley Consulting to bring Enterprise Intelligence to the energy, chemicals, and resources sectors.

“Knowledge management products continue to evolve, mainly due to rapidly evolving AI-based technologies that call for new, updated strategies and that match up with user expectations. This year’s KMWorld Trend-Setting Products list identifies products that deliver actual results and highlights the ones that are truly innovative, transformative, and worth watching.” – Marydee Ojala, KMWorld’s Editor-in-Chief
