The hidden cost of AI chaos

The hidden cost of AI chaos

Your organization invested millions in AI tools. ChatGPT for writing. Copilot for coding. Salesforce Einstein for leads. But they don’t talk to each other.

The result?
“Gartner’s 2024 Digital Worker Survey found that productivity fell between 9-12 percentage points in the last two years.”

The solution?
Digital Adoption Platforms (DAPs) that act as the conductor for your AI orchestra.

Market divergence and deep AI development and integration demand a strategic review for your DAP investments. Application leaders should use this research to critically evaluate solutions and prioritize cross-application orchestration to improve efficiency, adoption and business transformation.
