Global enterprises are facing a crisis in scaling artificial intelligence, with 77% of leaders treating it as a board-level priority while 65% continue to operate on legacy infrastructure. This finding comes from the 'Building Durable AI Advantage' report, sponsored by tata communications and produced in partnership with Bloomberg Media Studios. The study highlights that while AI investment is no longer in doubt, foundational tech debt is preventing organizations from realizing its full potential at scale.

The report surveyed 501 senior executives across North America, Europe, and Asia at enterprises with revenues above $500 million. It found that only 29% of leaders believe their infrastructure can scale with evolving business demands. The research identifies five reinforcing systems—Foundation, Integration, Skills, Governance, and ROI—that determine whether AI investment compounds in value or plateaus over time.

Constraints in AI Scaling

The study reveals specific pressure points across the five identified loops. Fewer than half of the enterprises report fully modernised network connectivity, hybrid deployment flexibility, or data architecture. Companies with advanced infrastructure are nearly twice as likely to report high business value from AI compared to those operating on legacy systems.

Key Barriers Identified

Loop	Key Findings
Foundation	29% say infrastructure can scale with demands.
Integration	28% cite difficulty integrating AI with legacy systems; 38% report delays in approval cycles.
Skills	30% cite skill gaps as a primary barrier; this rises to 45% for enterprises with revenues above $5 billion.
Governance	42% identify security and compliance reviews as the largest source of approval delays.
ROI	90% see some value from modernisation, but over 60% have not reached optimal outcomes.

Sumeet Walia, President & Chief Revenue Officer of Tata Communications, stated that the real differentiator is no longer AI itself but the infrastructure and integration that enable value delivery at scale. He emphasized that AI is a tightly coupled ecosystem of compute, power, connectivity, and platforms, which are converging into a unified infrastructure. The fieldwork for the report was conducted between December 2025 and January 2026 across markets including the US, UK, Germany, France, Singapore, Hong Kong, China, India, and the Benelux/Nordic regions.
