the agent rollout just tripped over itself. an idc and leah report this month finds two thirds of enterprises run ai agents in production, yet most of them cannot talk to each other and a quarter run with zero monitoring.
deployment is ahead of the wiring.
Context
Leah, an enterprise agentic AI company, published research conducted by IDC on September 22 called The Three Pillars of the Agentic Enterprise. It finds 66% of organizations use AI agents in production and expect to deploy six times as many, while most cannot see all the agents operating across their business.
CIO Dive says IDC surveyed more than 400 enterprise tech decision-makers, and that the agents remain siloed.
Two thirds in production matches the report. The report is from September 22, so 'this month' is September, not October, and it was commissioned by Leah.
'A quarter run with zero monitoring' and 'cannot talk to each other' were not seen as exact figures in the pages read, so they are unsupported here, not refuted. The sources describe siloed agents and governance blind spots.
'Deployment is ahead of the wiring' is the author's opinion.
