Data integration is the top priority for AI readiness, with 64% citing it as a key investment area. Managing data volume, moving data from on-premises to the cloud, enabling real-time access, and managing changes to data are among the challenging aspects of data integration. Effective data governance, compliance, and security are also crucial considerations for achieving AI goals. The widespread recognition is that data governance and security should be integral to AI strategies from the start, rather than being addressed as an afterthought.
