From Information to Intelligence: Agentic AI Raises the Stakes for Enterprise Data

New Data Management and Advanced Analytics Services 2026 RadarView™ profiles 26 recognized providers supporting governed, AI-ready data ecosystems.

LOS ANGELES, CA – August, 2026

Avasant, a leading management consulting and research firm, has released its Data Management and Advanced Analytics Services 2026 RadarView™, examining how agentic AI is changing enterprise data priorities.

Avasant evaluated 51 providers and recognized 26 across five categories: Leaders, Innovators, Disruptors, Challengers, and Tech Pioneers.

Among the report’s key findings:

  • AI readiness is accelerating data and analytics investment. Enterprises are strengthening foundations for real-time intelligence and autonomous decisions.
  • Process intelligence and real-world data are gaining importance. Organizations are investing in information that can support physical AI and agentic systems.
  • Retail, healthcare, and manufacturing lead adoption. Retail and CPG, healthcare and life sciences, and manufacturing are prominent users of data management and advanced analytics services.
  • Providers are prioritizing proprietary assets and talent. Investment in frameworks, accelerators, and specialist capabilities supports the development of governed data ecosystems.

These findings suggest that enterprises should assess data quality and ownership alongside AI capabilities when planning deployments.

“As agents become active data consumers and producers, data management practices must evolve to ensure governance and accountability at scale,” said Anupam Govil, Managing Partner at Avasant.

Providers are modernizing data foundations and building semantic and retrieval layers that connect enterprise information to AI. Buyers should evaluate integration and governance capabilities alongside delivery speed.
