From Pilots to Production: Why Agentic AI Runs Through the Ecosystem

Enterprises have spent the past two years funding agentic AI, and now the industry is measuring whether that investment converts into production. Budgets keep climbing: 92% of AI decision-makers expect their budgets to grow over the next 12 months, and agentic AI is the fastest-rising technology priority in enterprise software. Yet only 18.5% of organizations rate their AI maturity above the midpoint of a five-point scale, and nearly half cannot yet point to a measured return.

Futurum’s research traces the stall points to execution, not to the models themselves: process redesign, governance, and change management, the work that starts after a platform is chosen. Closing that gap increasingly depends on the ecosystem built around the platform, the marketplaces, delivery partners, and pre-built industry workflows that carry agents the rest of the way to production.

In our latest thought leadership report, From Pilots to Production: Why Agentic Transformation Runs Through the Ecosystem, published in partnership with Google Cloud, Futurum Research examines why enterprise AI budgets keep outpacing production readiness and what closes that gap.

In this report, you will learn:

• Why AI budgets keep climbing while maturity and measured returns stay early
• The three process barriers, not model gaps, still keeping agents stuck in pilot
• How Google Cloud is packaging Gemini Enterprise around industry-specific, bounded use cases
• What ETR buyer data shows about Gemini Enterprise’s paid-deployment growth and expansion intent
