AI investment soars but only a tenth of projects are fully deployed
New research reveals that while organizations have nearly doubled their overall AI investment to $27 million (up from $14.7 million in 2024) and 87 percent report that the ROI on their AIOps initiatives has met or exceeded expectations, however, only 12 percent of AI projects have reached full enterprise-wide deployment.
The survey, of 1,200 business decision-makers, IT leaders, and technical specialists, from Riverbed shows organizations report facing several significant barriers to AI implementation. The majority are not fully prepared to roll out AI projects, with challenges including persistent issues with data quality and a gap between leadership optimism and the technical realities of implementation.
