Denodo released The AI Trust Gap Report studying 850 executives, highlighting their position as a leader in data management addressing AI adoption challenges

Leadership read: Denodo has moved from product positioning to market-shaping: publishing a study of 850 executives is an attempt to own the problem definition, not just a solution category. The operational consequence is that Denodo has now committed to a public evidentiary standard. 66% of organizations citing real-time data as non-negotiable, fragmented sources and governance failures as the primary blockers of agentic AI deployment. That framing anchors their commercial conversations in an enterprise readiness gap rather than a feature comparison, which is a materially different go-to-market posture than vendor-led product releases. The related signals set for this period is broad and largely unrelated to data infrastructure, twelve product launches spanning defense, consumer electronics, pharma, and ticketing. Comparable enterprise AI governance or data-fabric signals are thin in this batch, which makes the Denodo release stand out rather than sit inside a dense cluster. What is visible across the enterprise SaaS corridor more broadly is a pattern of vendors investing in thought-leadership assets to accelerate enterprise sales cycles stalled by AI governance uncertainty. Companies reaching this stage of market-education investment in enterprise data and AI governance face increasing demand for commercial leadership able to translate technical trust frameworks into procurement-stage conversations, alongside product leadership experienced in agentic AI pipeline architecture. GTM functions that can operate across regulated-industry verticals, financial services, healthcare, critical infrastructure, carry particular weight when governance and compliance are the stated purchase criteria.
