Question 1

What is a connected organisation?

Accepted Answer

A connected organisation runs on integrated systems with a single, trusted source of truth so product, customer, workflow, and enterprise information can move reliably across teams. In this study, 73% of UK leaders described connectedness as extremely important or business-critical.

Question 2

Why does software fragmentation matter for AI readiness?

Accepted Answer

Fragmentation limits the data quality, workflow continuity, governance, and visibility needed for AI to create measurable business value. Respondents described disconnected systems as a drag on productivity, reporting, security, and the ability to scale AI use cases.

Question 3

How does fragmentation create security and compliance exposure?

Accepted Answer

Disconnected systems make access control, monitoring, data governance, and compliance harder to manage consistently. Ninety percent of respondents identified security or compliance exposure connected to fragmented technology.

Question 4

Is AI already delivering measurable business value?

Accepted Answer

AI is delivering operational value, especially in time savings and productivity, but financial measurement remains immature. Only 7% of respondents could quantify AI's financial return.
