Bloomfire Named to KMWorld AI 100 for Second Consecutive Year, Underscoring Leadership in Enterprise Intelligence

Recognition highlights Bloomfire’s continued role in bringing real-world AI applications to knowledge management

Cleveland, OH — [July 6, 2026] — Bloomfire, creator of the Enterprise Intelligence category and provider of the leading AI-powered knowledge platform, today announced it has been named to KMWorld’s AI 100 for the second year running. The recognition honors innovative knowledge management vendors that are successfully integrating AI and related technologies into their offerings—a category Bloomfire has helped define.

The honor arrives as organizations face mounting pressure to transform fragmented, siloed information into strategic advantage. Yet despite a 38% year-over-year increase in AI budgets, Bloomfire’s 2026 Guide to Enterprise Intelligence Systems––the first independent evaluation of twelve enterprise platforms across knowledge management, enterprise search, and business intelligence––shows that 40% of that spend is underperforming. Further, more than half of enterprise workers bypassed their company’s AI tools in the past 30 days, completing work manually instead. The cause, more often than not, is not the underlying technology, but the knowledge foundation the technology depends on.

Bloomfire’s Enterprise Intelligence model addresses this challenge directly, moving beyond traditional store-and-search systems to surface real-time insights that drive smarter, faster decision-making. Rather than treating knowledge as a passive archive, Bloomfire’s platform creates a self-healing, context-aware system that connects siloed information, eliminates content gaps, and proactively delivers actionable intelligence directly into the workflows where decisions are made.

From Curiosity to Core Infrastructure

“Being included on the KMWorld AI 100 for the second year in a row validates what our customers are already experiencing: Enterprise Intelligence is no longer a concept; it’s a competitive advantage,” said Philip Brittan, CEO of Bloomfire. “We’re building systems that treat knowledge the way a nervous system treats information—flowing, adaptive, and always in service of better decisions. When individual expertise becomes collective intelligence, organizations move faster and with more confidence. That transformation is what we exist to enable.”

For Bloomfire, the consecutive recognition also reflects not just sustained innovation but tangible results for enterprise customers. The company’s 2025 report, The Value of Enterprise Intelligence, found that inefficient knowledge management practices directly impact an average of 25% of a business’s annual revenue. For Fortune 500 companies, that figure translates to approximately $2.4 billion in enterprise value at stake annually. 

Bloomfire’s research underscores why: organizations have long treated these three categories as separate investments, governed by separate teams, measured against separate outcomes. The assumption that they’d converge into something coherent on their own, the guide argues, was never realistic.

Knowledge as a Living System

“This year’s KMWorld AI100 list demonstrates AI’s growing footprint across KM platforms and services,” said Marydee Ojala, Editor-in-Chief, KMWorld magazine. “AI moved extraordinarily quickly from being a curiosity to becoming embedded in KM products and now offers real-world applications. We are excited to track the accomplishments of these companies and applaud the benefits they bring to KM.”

Bloomfire applied its own knowledge health analysis to the company’s content library, and found the gap closer to home than expected: “Our content library scored 91 out of 100, but even at that level, we found 31 concepts our documents assume every employee understands, with zero documents that actually define them—including our own core AI product,” continued Brittan. “Ten documents referenced it, but none explained it. We’re the company that built the accountability layer, and we didn’t have a clean knowledge foundation. So the question isn’t whether your enterprise has this problem; it’s how bad it is.”

Bloomfire’s platform combines AI-powered search, dynamic knowledge curation, and intuitive collaboration to turn scattered organizational knowledge into a responsive, AI-ready foundation. The result: teams that move faster, make smarter decisions, and drive measurable impact across the business.
