Mission & Vision

Enterprise AI that gets it right

Tessera redefines how enterprises modernize their most critical systems. The multi-agent AI platform delivers governed execution across ERP, CRM, HCM, and finance landscapes, reducing timelines from years to weeks and costs by more than half. Built on deep expertise across SAP, Salesforce, Workday, and other systems of record, Tessera combines the reliability of an integrator with the speed of an AI innovator.

Our story

For decades, enterprises have struggled with fragmented business systems and the complexity of SAP landscapes. Migrations consumed hundreds of millions, data was messy and unreliable, and business processes slowed under IT bottlenecks. Tessera was founded to change that.

The name itself—a tessera, a single tile in a mosaic—reflects our mission: unifying the disparate pieces of the enterprise into a coherent whole. We are building a new category of enterprise software: an AI-powered, multi-agent platform that abstracts complexity, harmonizes systems, and enables teams to work in plain English.
