What every company can learn from Frontier firms leading the AI revolution

An IDC InfoBrief, Sponsored by Microsoft

AI is no longer experimental. New research from IDC, based on a survey of over 4,000 business and IT leaders across 16 countries, reveals what separates AI leaders from everyone else and what it takes to close the gap.

Inside the report you will find research on how leading organizations are moving beyond individual productivity gains into functional and industry-specific AI applications, why customized AI solutions are replacing pre-built tools, what agentic AI adoption looks like today and where it is heading, and why governance and human oversight are becoming competitive advantages rather than roadblocks.

At ForgeXRM, this research reflects what we have been building toward. We share it because we think it will help you think more clearly about your own AI strategy and what it actually takes to move from experimentation to real business impact.
