GEORGETOWN, Texas, Oct. 27, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Dotwork, an AI-native enterprise operating platform, today announced its acquisition of Arcario Group, a consultancy specializing in enterprise operating models and transformation. The transaction closed October 23. Financial terms were not disclosed.
AI is accelerating execution, but most enterprises still manage strategy, funding and work across disconnected systems. Leaders struggle to see what investments actually cost, whether they produce results and where resources should move next.
Dotwork is building the enterprise steering layer for the AI era. Its graph-based Enterprise Operating Model connects existing systems rather than replacing them, linking strategy, capital, business capabilities, work, decisions and outcomes. Unlike tools centered on projects or workflows, Dotwork focuses on the decisions that drive performance, connecting plans to actual spending, preserving decision context and giving leaders and AI agents a shared understanding of the enterprise.
Arcario brings the expertise to activate that model. Its Connected Enterprise approach aligns people, processes, data and technology, while forward-deployed enterprise value architects work alongside customers to solve targeted problems and measure results.
Together, the companies help enterprises:
- Design: Identify gaps between strategic priorities, investments, business capabilities and execution.
- Activate: Connect existing financial and operational systems, then deploy targeted workflows and AI capabilities without replacing core technology.
- Steer: Track decisions, actual costs and outcomes, then adapt investments and execution as priorities change.
"The enterprise software industry has spent decades helping companies manage work, automate processes and analyze data. But who's helping the CEO, COO, CFO and CIO actually steer the business?" said Steve Elliott, founder and CEO of Dotwork. "AI makes deciding where to invest and how to measure results more important than ever. We're building Dotwork around those decisions—not another workflow or dashboard. Arcario brings the expertise to make that operating model real."
Rather than requiring lengthy transformation programs or bespoke platforms, the combined teams can start with a high-value business problem, establish a reusable operating model and expand as results are demonstrated. Lessons from deployments will also inform repeatable Dotwork platform capabilities.
"Connecting enterprise strategy to what teams actually do has always been the hard part," said Konstantin Popov, founder and CEO of Arcario Group. "With Dotwork, we can move beyond recommendations to connect decisions, investments and execution—and show customers the value they're creating."
Arcario's leadership previously built an enterprise operating-model practice acquired by Cprime, where it scaled to support major enterprise transformations. Arcario becomes the foundation of Dotwork's services and forward-deployed engineering organization. Existing client engagements continue with their current teams. Konstantin joins Dotwork as Head of Transformation Services.
