The " Enterprise automation index 2025 ," a comprehensive research report, reveals the current state of enterprise automation and artificial intelligence (AI) readiness. Representing data collected by a panel via independent research firm Leger Opinion, the report uncovers key trends, investment patterns and emerging gaps in enterprise automation maturity. Based on a survey of 285 automation practitioners across industries, including manufacturing, retail and finance, the findings show a complex picture: While 73.2% of businesses increased automation investments in the past year, a majority of 61.3% admit their automation tools are underutilized due to fragmented strategies, siloed implementation and the need for a trusted orchestration partner.
