May 30, 2025Enterprises are significantly investing in data and AI, yet many are struggling to achieve meaningful returns. The underlying issue in most cases is a weak or fragmented data foundation. Addressing this challenge requires first understanding what data foundation truly means within the enterprise’s context – starting with a clear assessment of data maturity. This Viewpoint introduces the Data Transformation Success Model (DTSM), a comprehensive framework that helps enterprises evaluate and elevate their data maturity across five interconnected pillars: vision and strategy, data technology and consumption, governance, people, and processes. By identifying capability gaps and benchmarking progress, DTSM enables organizations to build a strong, scalable foundation that supports long-term business goals. The report also highlights common pitfalls in data transformation and offers practical recommendations to overcome them. With DTSM, enterprises can align data strategies with organizational objectives, improve RoI, and drive meaningful transformation. The model’s maturity classification – laggard, typical, or advanced – helps organizations understand where they stand and develop targeted roadmaps to reach their desired state. Scope All industries and geographies Contents In this report, we examine: Why ambitious data and AI initiatives fail How to ensure success with data maturity assessment DTSM and its parameters What different data maturity stages look like Best practices for data officers

Systems of Execution: Enabling Agentic Revolution in the Enterprise
March 19, 2025Systems of Execution (SoEs) represent the critical missing layer in enterprise AI adoption, transforming isolated AI experiments into a scalable, autonomous execution framework. Traditional enterprise systems store and display information but do not bridge the gap between AI-driven insights and real-time execution. SoEs fill this void by integrating AI-driven decisions directly into operational workflows, ensuring seamless automation at scale. By adopting SoEs, enterprises can enhance real-time responsiveness, operational efficiency, and data-driven agility, unlocking new levels of automation and intelligence across business functions. Everest Group developed this research to address a pressing opportunity: enterprises are investing heavily in AI, yet many have not realized its full potential as it remains primarily an analytical tool rather than an execution engine. The shift toward agentic AI – where AI makes and executes decisions independently – demands an execution layer that integrates data, decision-making, and automation in real time. As organizations look to enhance competitiveness and agility, adopting SoEs will enable them to transform AI from an advisory tool into an active business outcome driver. This shift positions enterprises to scale their AI investments effectively and maximize their impact. -
