That’s the power of an Expertise Graph. In his latest post, Kantata’s CTO, Vikas Nehru, breaks down what an Expertise Graph is, why it matters, and how it’s laying the foundation for the next generation of professional services operations.

Let’s be honest: the metrics that shaped professional services for the last 20 years were built for a world that was linear, predictable, and almost entirely human. Today’s firms don’t operate in that world — and neither should their benchmarks.

She also breaks down how Kantata is leading the next chapter with SPI Inside, becoming the first vendor to embed Service Performance Insight's industry-defining analytics directly into our platform.
