Executive Summary

AI is transforming the way organizations use technology. Nevertheless, many firms struggle to adopt the full breadth and depth of AI technologies. According to the Verdantix global survey of AI decision-makers, a primary reason for this is the complexity of AI technologies, which 89% of respondents consider a significant barrier to enterprise AI adoption (see Verdantix Global Corporate Survey 2024: Artificial Intelligence Budgets, Priorities And Tech Preferences). Enterprise AI platforms with intuitive machine learning operations (MLOps) and data management can provide a mechanism to support scalable business AI integration, with the necessary guardrails. These platforms also create channels for incorporating new AI-related innovation. This report provides executives and IT organizations with an overview of enterprise AI platforms, as well as profiles of 20 prominent providers in the market.
