Reports
UiPath Report: Agentic AI is Driving Investment
Enterprise automation and AI software company released the UiPath 2025 Agentic AI Report based on a survey of more than 250 U.S. IT executives at companies with revenue over $1 billion and qualitative interviews with senior technology leaders. The report defined an AI Agent as “a software entity that uses AI techniques to perceive its environment, process information, and take actions to achieve specific goals or objectives. AI agents can operate autonomously or semi-autonomously and are designed to mimic human decision-making or problem-solving processes in a given domain.”
One of the report’s findings was that IT leaders cite IT security (56%), cost (37%), and integration with existing systems (35%) as primary areas of concern, with those in heavily regulated industries most concerned about compliance.

Deloitte Digital: CXO Still Making the Case for Experience
According to new research from Deloitte Digital, new priorities have surfaced for Chief Experience Officers (CXOs) in 2025. Note that Deloitte defines the CXO role as the “champion of the experiences of humans” both internal to the company (employees) and its customers.
The study found that on average, experience leaders spend nearly 40% of their time making the case for experience. Additionally, less tenured CXOs are prioritizing measurement above all else, while those with more tenure prioritize collaboration across the business with other leaders and functions. The following graphic illustrates some of the top challenges reported by the surveyed CXOs (250 US-based representing either customer or workforce experience), including: integrating Gen AI capabilities across the customer experience and adding training to support employee use of Gen AI. Deloitte also ran this survey in 2023 and notes that a few challenges took the top slots in 2024 while some dropped out of the top 5.
