Report
The 2026 agentic AI readiness index

60% of enterprises are investing millions in agentic AI, but only 15% have the data foundation to run it securely and effectively at scale. Our new report explores why so many organizations struggle to turn that investment into real outcomes — and what separates those successfully scaling agentic AI from those stuck in costly, ongoing experiments.
Based on a global survey of 400 data leaders, the report uncovers where data foundations are breaking down and outlines what it actually takes to support AI systems that act, not just analyze.
Key takeaways include:
- AI investment is outpacing data readiness: Organizations are moving aggressively into agentic AI without the underlying infrastructure to support it at scale.
- Weak data foundations are limiting AI outcomes: Gaps in consistency, governance, and control are slowing progress as teams try to move from pilots to production.
- Interoperability is critical: AI depends on seamless data access across tools, but most systems remain fragmented and tightly coupled.
