SANTA CLARA, Calif., Sept 26 (Bernama-GLOBE NEWSWIRE) —Cloudera, the only company bringing AI to data anywhere, today released findings from its latest global survey report, The Evolution of AI: The State of Enterprise AI and Data Architecture. Polling more than 1,500 IT leaders, the report examines how AI adoption has accelerated, enterprise data architectures have evolved, and new challenges have emerged around securely scaling AI in 2025. Building on Cloudera’s 2024 study, the report highlights how priorities, obstacles, and goals have shifted in just one year, offering a snapshot of the rapidly changing enterprise AI landscape. Based on this report, it’s apparent that the future will be driven by AI, and AI is fueled by all data anywhere the data resides. Organizations need access to 100% of their data, no matter where it is or what type, to securely govern it and derive robust real-time and predictive insights without compromise.
The most striking finding: 96% of IT leaders reported AI is at least somewhat integrated into their core business processes. This is up from 2024, when 88% of survey respondents said they were currently using AI within their companies. This indicates that AI has gone from experimentation to full integration in core processes and workflows. And it’s paying off: 70% of respondents said they have achieved significant success with AI initiatives, with only 1% having yet to see results.
