Data Foundation Readiness for Automation & AI

How prepared is your service data foundation for advanced automation and AI?

Key Takeaways

  • The largest share of organizations consider their service data foundation automation-ready, indicating that most have reached a level of data structure and quality sufficient to support automation, even if not yet optimized for advanced AI use cases.
  • A significant portion of organizations are still in the foundation phase, reflecting that a considerable part of the market is actively building the underlying data infrastructure needed before automation or AI can be reliably layered on top.
  • An equally small share of organizations sit at the two extremes — AI-native and not ready, showing that while a select few have reached full AI readiness, an equally limited group still lacks the basic data foundation required to support automation at all.
  • The concentration around automation-ready and foundation phase suggests most of the market is on a maturing path, with data readiness for AI representing the next major frontier rather than something already solved.
