EnterpriseDB (EDB) has released a report revealing a significant divide between enterprises successfully leveraging agentic and Generative AI and the 87% at risk of falling behind. The report, Sovereignty Matters: A Global Blueprint for Sovereign, Agentic, and Generative AI, is based on in-depth interviews with 2,050 senior executives across 13 countries and over 15,000 simulations. The findings show that organizations that prioritize data and AI sovereignty are reaping rewards on an unprecedented scale, achieving up to 5x higher ROI in terms of innovation, efficiency, and long-term competitive value. These front-runners are 90% more likely to achieve transformative AI results and deploy twice as much mainstream agentic and GenAI as their peers. The report also reveals a comprehensive list of over 200 companies that embody the qualities of the “Deeply Committed” and are winning in the race of agentic and GenAI. The Deeply Committed are leading the charge, achieving 5x greater ROI from their AI initiatives, being 2.5x more confident in their ability to evolve from mainstream players to industry leaders, and delivering 2x more mainstream agentic and GenAI deployments than their peers. While over 95% of these enterprises globally aim to become their own AI and data platforms by 2028, only 13%, what EDB refers to as the “Deeply Committed,” have successfully navigated the tension between accessing fragmented data and AI infrastructures while maintaining compliance and cybersecurity. These Deeply Committed leaders have embraced true sovereignty—the ability to access, govern, and secure all data wherever it resides, free of silos and compliant by design. “Success hinges on AI and data that is sovereign by design—available anywhere, in any form you need. Early adopters are showing that hybrid environments and technologies like Postgres® offer a strong foundation. Organizations that fail to prioritize sovereignty over AI and data as mission critical risk being left behind.”
