Chicago, United States |4th Aug 2026 – Everforth Quinnox, an AI-First digital organization has been recognized among the “Growth Chasers” in HFS Research’s latest Non-Linearity Index, published as part of the report “The headcount era is fading as the pivot to Services-as-Software™ continues.”
The Non-Linearity Index tracked more than 25 leading IT and business services providers across CY Q4 2025–Q1 2026, measuring how effectively they are decoupling revenue and margin growth from headcount expansion – a shift HFS Research frames as the industry’s move toward Services as Software. Everforth Quinnox was positioned above the industry average on revenue-per-FTE growth, placing the company in the “Growth Chasers” quadrant of the index.
“Services as Software is a strategic bet we made early: counting on the fact that future consumption models will not be people based, and platforms will be core to the value delivery equation. HFS Research validating this as a market-wide inflection point, with us positioned ahead, confirms we’re moving in the right direction,” said Amit Nagar, CEO, Everforth Quinnox
According to HFS Research, the broader industry is only beginning this transition: average revenue per FTE grew approximately 1.7% year-over-year and operating margin per FTE improved approximately 6.5% year-over-year across the providers tracked, with structural progress still concentrated among a relatively small group of companies. The research further finds that enterprise buyers are shifting their pricing preferences toward outcome, consumption, and platform-based models and away from traditional effort-based billing, a trend HFS expects to accelerate operating model change across the industry.
Everforth Quinnox views its placement in this edition of the index as an early signal that its investments in AI-native and platform-led delivery – including reusable intellectual property and outcome-based commercial models – are beginning to translate into measurable performance gains.
Rather than scaling delivery through headcount, Everforth Quinnox is investing in reusable platforms, agentic automation, and outcome-based engagement models designed to help clients modernize and run their technology estates with greater speed, consistency, and cost efficiency. This includes autonomous IT delivery capabilities spanning application modernization, testing, and managed services – engineered to embed AI into the core of how work gets done, not as a layer on top of it.
“This recognition reflects what our clients are already experiencing: faster delivery cycles, greater efficiency, and pricing models tied to outcomes. That’s the proof point that matters most – the tangible value we’re putting in front of clients every day,” said Rekha Raj, President & COO, Everforth Quinnox

About the HFS Non-Linearity Index
The HFS Non-Linearity Index is a semi-annual, directional benchmark from HFS Research that evaluates service providers on two dimensions: value density (YoY constant-currency revenue-per-FTE change) and operating leverage (YoY operating-margin-per-FTE change, adjusted for restructuring and other distortions). Providers are plotted on a 2×2 matrix against market medians on both dimensions.
