Enterprise Data

The enterprise technology landscape witnessed unprecedented change in 2024, as AI adoption surged from 50% to 72% across organizations. But even more striking was the meteoric rise of Generative AI, which doubled its reach from 33% to 65% of enterprises in just twelve months. This shift marks the end of an introductory, experimental phase of AI and the beginning of widespread enterprise implementation and integration. At Team8, our work with cutting-edge AI companies and enterprise leaders has lent us unique insights into this transformation. Through our extensive network and deep technological expertise, we've identified several critical trends that will shape the future of enterprise AI – and the challenges organizations must overcome to stay competitive.

We’ve seen Israeli data and AI infrastructure companies rise to the occasion, continuing to punch well above their weight.

As enterprises race to leverage AI for competitive advantage, the complexity and scope of associated risks continue to grow. Anticipating and preparing for these risks is crucial for any organization aiming to harness the full potential of AI technologies. To provide much-needed guidance in this transformation, we published “The Road to Enterprise-Ready AI”, a comprehensive...
