Google Cloud partnered with Hypothesis Group to survey 1,250 US enterprise IT and business decision-makers, finding companies trapped between legacy software and AI modernization.
- Nearly 90% of the Fortune 100 already use Gemini Enterprise to build, scale, and govern agents, as AI shifts from LLM integration to autonomous agentic workflows.
- "Legacy" is defined as software running locally on computers and servers rather than cloud-native; maintaining this footprint acts as a constant "innovation tax" on AI transformation.
- 78% believe providers who led the previous enterprise tech era may not be best positioned to lead the AI era — meaning past choices of languages, tools, and software are now all up for grabs.
