We’re combining two industry-leading teams to deliver a broader, more powerful technology partnership — from mid-market SDaaS to enterprise AI operating systems powered by Transform Labs’ proprietary TransformOS™ framework.
Today is a big day for Red Hawk Technologies LLC and for the clients we serve.
We’re thrilled to announce that Red Hawk Technologies has officially acquired Transform Labs (formerly AWH), a premier technology consultancy known for delivering intelligent, enterprise-scale software solutions, and the creator of TransformOS™, a proprietary framework for building AI operating systems that make entire organizations more intelligent, autonomous, and competitive.
This isn’t just a business transaction. It’s the coming together of two organizations who share a fundamental belief: that technology should empower organizations, not complicate them.
Why this, and why now?
Red Hawk Technologies was built to solve a specific problem, the unpredictable costs, ongoing maintenance headaches, and long-term complexity that have made custom software development so painful for mid-market companies. Our Software Development-as-a-Service (SDaaS) model bundles development, support, maintenance, and future enhancements into a single, predictable monthly fee. It gives our clients financial clarity and the freedom to innovate without distraction.
At the same time, we've had a clear strategic ambition: to move up-market and accelerate our ability to bring more sophisticated AI solutions to the enterprises we've been building toward. Acquiring Transform Labs is the fastest and most purposeful way to get there. Their depth of enterprise experience, combined with the TransformOS™ framework, gives us the capability and credibility to serve that market at the level it deserves, right now, not years from now.
What this means for the market
- Accelerated enterprise capability — Transform Labs' depth of experience and the TransformOS™ framework give Red Hawk the ability to serve enterprise clients at the level they expect, immediately.
- Sophisticated AI solutions, sooner — rather than building enterprise AI capabilities from the ground up, this acquisition compresses the timeline and raises the ceiling on what we can deliver.
- A unified team built for the full market — from mid-market companies on SDaaS to enterprise organizations pursuing AI transformation, our combined team is built to serve clients at every stage of growth.
- Strategic momentum — this isn't a reactive move. It's a deliberate step in a direction we've been heading, made at the right time with the right partner.
Two organizations, one mission
What drew us to Transform Labs goes beyond their impressive client roster or technical capabilities, though both speak for themselves. It's the way they work. Their approach is collaborative, deeply consultative, and laser-focused on outcomes. They take the time to understand a client's goals, culture, and unique challenges before a single line of code is written. That philosophy maps directly onto how we've always operated at Red Hawk.
But what truly sets this partnership apart is TransformOS™. Most companies acquiring in this space are adding headcount or expanding service lines. We're adding an entirely new way of thinking about what enterprise technology can be. TransformOS isn't a product, it's a proprietary framework for making organizations fundamentally more intelligent. It integrates proprietary data, orchestrates autonomous AI agents, and automates workflows across the entire enterprise. The result isn't marginal efficiency gains. It's a structural advantage that compounds over time.
“This acquisition is a defining moment for Red Hawk Technologies. Together, we’re not just expanding our footprint, we’re expanding what’s possible for every client we serve.” - Matt Strippelhoff, Partner, CEO / CRO, Red Hawk Technologies
The Transform Labs team has spent years proving this framework in some of the most demanding industry verticals: manufacturing, healthcare, distribution, and beyond. That track record, combined with the TransformOS architecture, means we're not arriving at the enterprise AI conversation as a newcomer. We're arriving with a tested, deployable framework and a team that knows how to implement it. That's a combination very few companies in this market can offer.
Beyond Tools: Why TransformOS™ Changes the Game
So what exactly is TransformOS™? And why does it matter so much to us?
TransformOS is built on a premise that most enterprise AI conversations dance around but rarely commit to: deploying more AI tools isn't a strategy. Building an organization that is itself intelligent, that's a strategy. Where conventional AI adoption generates incremental productivity gains for individual employees, TransformOS creates structural advantage at the organizational level. It connects systems, integrates proprietary data, orchestrates autonomous agents, and automates complex workflows end-to-end. The entire company operates smarter, faster, and more autonomously — not just the individuals within it.
That distinction matters enormously for the enterprises we're now positioned to serve. And it's exactly why TransformOS isn't something we view as one capability among many. It's the centerpiece of what Red Hawk can now offer at the enterprise level."
The TransformOS architecture is built on five foundational layers:
- Data Foundation — unified access to enterprise data and systems, the bedrock of the AI-OS.
- Intelligence Layer — models, reasoning systems, and retrieval pipelines for contextual understanding grounded in proprietary company data.
- Agent Layer — digital operators that autonomously execute workflows end-to-end.
- Workflow Orchestration — task routing, automation, and process coordination across the enterprise.
- Governance & Control — monitoring, compliance, security, and oversight across all AI activity.
Transform Labs implements TransformOS through a structured five-stage deployment framework: Assessment, Blueprint, Launch, Expansion, and Optimization, moving organizations from readiness evaluation to full-scale autonomous operation. The result is a shift from AI as a productivity tool to AI as organizational intelligence: the entire company operating smarter, faster, and more autonomously as a system.
“Joining Red Hawk Technologies is a natural next step for Transform Labs. With Red Hawk’s platform and model behind us, we’re able to deliver on that promise at a scale we couldn’t reach alone.” - Ryan Frederick, Principal, AI & Business Advisory, Transform Labs
We’re genuinely excited about what this means, not just for our two organizations, but for every client and partner who has trusted us to help them grow. The best is ahead.
