Coherent Solutions Named the Twin Cities' Largest IT Consulting Firm, Signals a Market Shift From Hours to Outcomes

MINNEAPOLIS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--The Minneapolis/St. Paul Business Journal ranks Coherent Solutions first on its list of the Largest IT Consulting Firms in the Twin Cities. The ranking comes as the firm reshapes how it builds software, pointing to a shift toward value measured by outcomes at the top of the region's technology market.

Coherent produced the metro's largest billed output delivered through a network of development centers worldwide. Coherent's edge is engineering judgment, where its designers and engineers steer the AI systems that produce software for clients, choosing what to build and how, and verifying the outcome.

The traditional way software gets built is changing, as AI agents now take on routine production work and engineers direct the decisions above it and concentrate on increasingly complex workstreams.

"Our success comes from delivering what clients truly need rather than buying into hype," says Igor Epshteyn, CEO of Coherent Solutions. "The market is changing underneath everyone in it. What a client buys now is strategic judgment and the real value it creates."

"How you deliver client value gets measured differently now," says Tom Stallings, Chief Revenue Officer at Coherent Solutions. "With an AI-enabled tech stack, we fundamentally benchmark against whether our work shipped to production and got there faster than before."

As Coherent tops the list, it continues to introduce meaningful changes to how it executes in the age of AI. The firm's frameworks, Continuous Delivery Loop for AI-native delivery and Digital Value Creation framework for tying digital investments to business outcomes, turn that approach into results clients can measure.
