In today’s fast-paced digital landscape, partnerships are more than just a strategic advantage; they are a necessity. The technology sector thrives on collaboration, where businesses join forces to deliver innovative solutions, expand market reach, and drive customer success. No single company can master every aspect of the ever-evolving tech ecosystem, making partnerships crucial for staying ahead of the competition. By leveraging each other’s strengths, businesses can accelerate innovation, enhance service offerings, and create more comprehensive solutions that meet evolving customer needs.
Zia Consulting places a high value on strategic partnerships, and has been actively cultivating them for the more than 20 years we’ve been in the forefront of Enterprise Content Management (ECM). The team at Zia views them as essential to delivering innovative and effective content management solutions. By collaborating with industry-leading organizations, we enhance our offerings and provide clients with tailored solutions that address complex business challenges. One of the most transformative forces is this evolution is artificial intelligence (AI), which is revolutionizing how businesses manage, process, and leverage content.
At Zia, we know that Content Drives AI®, and our new AI Hyperautomation Blueprint is designed to help businesses turn unstructured content into actionable intelligence. Many organizations struggle to classify and process the 90% of content that doesn’t fit neatly into existing systems—slowing automation and increasing manual work. Our Blueprint provides a practical, ROI-driven approach to integrating AI, using Intelligent Document Processing (IDP) and agentic workflows to automate classification, extraction, and decision-making. The result? Faster processes, reduced costs, and smarter business operations. Ready to see how AI can transform your business? Let’s talk.
A Few of Our Partnerships
Box
Zia has just returned from the 2025 Box Vision kickoff and is excited to share how they are revolutionizing the content management industry by incorporating AI into their platform. The new platform, Box Intelligent Content Management (ICM), represents a groundbreaking leap forward.

It seamlessly aligns with our AI-managed services offering, which enables organizations to harness the power of AI while ensuring their critical content remains securely within their corporate environment. This innovation strengthens our ability to deliver intelligent, secure, and scalable solutions to our customers. More on that in a future blog.”

This combined solution streamlines SAP invoice management by automating financial workflows, ensuring compliance, and providing real-time insights into the invoicing process. The integration enhances system performance, reduces costs, and ensures data integrity, offering businesses a scalable solution that grows with their needs.
After attending the Sales Kick Off for both Rocket Software and Tungsten Automation, Zia’s Vice President of SAP and Cloud Services shared, “I value building strong partnerships that foster collaboration and drive tangible results. Managed services play a key role in allowing organizations to redeploy their valuable internal talent towards growth-oriented projects. Additionally, streamlining services through vendor partnerships and establishing internal service centers can enable the rapid delivery of incremental value.”
Hyland Alfresco
Zia Consulting has established partnerships with several prominent technology providers over more than two decades of doing business. During that time we have been a Platinum Partner with Hyland’s Alfresco platform, a relationship that has led to multiple awards, including five-time Alfresco Americas Partner of the Year. This collaboration enables us to implement advanced enterprise content management solutions for its clients.
As a trusted Alfresco partner, we provide expert implementation, customization, and support services that maximize the platform’s capabilities.

We also provide ongoing training and support that empowers organizations to maximize the value of their content management investments. Through our partnership with Hyland, we continue to drive innovation in ECM, helping businesses reduce costs, streamline workflows, and gain actionable insights from their content
Zia’s President and CEO, Mike Mahon, shared “Zia has had a 16 year relationship with Alfresco. At this year’s annual sales kickoff, Hyland’s shared their vision of integrating AI into their cloud ECM platform. They reassured customers that their investments in the traditional PANO stack (i.e., Perceptive, Alfresco, Nuxeo and OnBase) will not only be preserved, but will have agents that integrate with those platforms. This will enable them to enjoy the benefits of AI at the same time. It was a very cohesive and strong vision that I know will resonate very well with our customers’ need to move to the future and preserve their legacy investments.”
These are just a few of our partnerships. We work with several others to leverage collaborative relationships to provide comprehensive, cutting-edge solutions that meet the evolving needs of our clients.
The Value of Partnership
Beyond innovation, partnerships enable businesses to scale efficiently. Whether through joint ventures, reseller agreements, or technology integrations, collaborations help companies access new markets and optimize resources. Building strong partner relationships help businesses reduce costs, mitigate risks, and enhance overall market competitiveness.
Most importantly, strong partnerships foster long-term success by building trust and driving shared value. The right collaborations create an ecosystem where all parties—vendors, service providers, and customers—benefit from each other’s expertise. In the fast-changing tech world, where agility and adaptability are key, businesses that cultivate strategic alliances are better positioned to respond to new challenges and opportunities. Investing in the right partnerships is not just about growth, it’s about creating a sustainable and innovative future.
