Strategic Focus: Enterprise Software AI Transformation Framework – 5 Pillars For Success

Executive Summary

Every enterprise software vendor is at some stage along the AI integration maturity curve. The most immature vendors are stuck in an AI exploration phase loop, unable to action findings; others are fulfilling their ambition to morph into AI-first vendors with widespread automation of internal operations. This report introduces the Verdantix enterprise Software as a Service (SaaS) AI transformation framework, providing a structured methodology to assess and progress the AI maturity of software vendors across five core areas: strategy and people, product, governance and trust, internal operations, and AI adoption and impact. Readers can leverage this framework to benchmark their organizations’ progress in incorporating AI, as well as to build a prioritized action plan to become a pacesetter for AI in their sector. The framework is designed to be used by AI strategy leads, such as C-Suite individuals occupying Chief AI Officer (CAIO), Chief Technology Officer (CTO), CIO or CEO positions. Individuals occupying senior executive positions across product, strategy, operations, sales and marketing functions will also find value in this framework.
