Description

Provides a comprehensive analysis of AI adoption in B2B workflows and decision automation. Shows 78% of firms using AI (2024) and 92% planning to increase investment. Highlights use cases (JPMorgan COIN, Siemens RPA) and market to reach $749 B by 2028.
The study synthesizes quantitative and qualitative data from global enterprise AI adoption surveys (McKinsey 2024, IDC 2025), vendor investment reports, and B2B digital transformation benchmarks. Market modeling is based on AI deployment data across 1,200 enterprise respondents spanning North America, Europe, and APAC, identifying an accelerating trajectory from experimental pilots to fully integrated, revenue-driving AI ecosystems. Findings indicate that 78% of B2B firms currently deploy AI, with 92% planning further investment through 2026, driven by measurable improvements in efficiency, personalization, and data-driven decision-making. The analysis compares early adopters and laggards across industries, identifying JPMorgan’s COIN, Siemens’ RPA ecosystems, and Unilever’s marketing AI as case studies of operational excellence. The report emphasizes the economics of adoption, detailing lifecycle cost management, integration friction, and compounding ROI curves. Key takeaways highlight the strategic importance of aligning AI initiatives with governance, data infrastructure, and workforce readiness to capture long-term value. As enterprises transition from automation to AI-enabled decision intelligence, adoption maturity will increasingly define competitive differentiation and market leadership in the 2025–2030 horizon.

How Do Licenses Work?

How Do Licenses Work?

The primary function of a report license is to define how many people within a company are authorized to use the purchased report. This is separate to how a report might be delivered. Unless specifically identified otherwise, the purchase option is Single User. Below is a helpful description of that license, along with a sampling of others most commonly offered.

  • This license allows only one user to have access to and to use/read the report. It is not one user at a time or one user group; it is an individual who will be reading and utilizing the report.

  • This license allows for the entire purchasing company to read and use the report. This is the license level that would allow for a report to be placed on an internal company shared drive for access by all employees of that direct company. This license does not extend to parent or sister company use.

  • This license is designed to allow an entire department within a company full access to a report. The departmental license is a great option for companies that have more than one location and the department is spread out all over the country/world

  • This license is for companies that have one location where they want the report to be accessible by all employees within that physical location.

  • This is the most flexible of the licensing options. Some publishers will allow you to get a license for a preset number of people (typically 5). These licenses are ideal for small work groups.

License options are at the discretion of each publisher. As such, not all licenses indicated above are available for every product. If you are uncertain of the best license for your needs or would like a license that is not proactively available, please contact us and we will be happy to assist.
