ce data finds 84% agree they need a total data strategy overhaul to benefit 
from agentic AI 70% believe their most valuable insights are in 
siloed/unusable data Zero-copy architecture matches AI with data where it 
resides 

New Salesforce data has found three-quarters (76%) of business leaders feel 
pressure to deliver business value with data, but incomplete, outdated or 
low-quality data is preventing them from being able to do so. 

As a result, most (84%) agree their strategies now need a complete overhaul 
to succeed with AI. 

Its not just about being able to do more with data, either, because half 
(49%) of the data leaders surveyed admitted theyve sometimes reached 
incorrect conclusions due to poor context. Yet again, were hearing that data 
is key to AI success 

Two in five (42%) noted poor confidence in the accuracy and relevancy of AI 
outputs, with data leaders estimating that around a quarter (26%) of their 
organizational data is untrustworthy. 

For organizations ready to execute at scale, this is the moment to shore up 
data foundations to confidently scale AI to its full potential to deliver 
real value and ROI, Salesforce Chief Data Officer Michael Andrew explained. 

Around one-fifth (19%) of company data is believed to be siloed or unusable, 
and yet 70% believe their most valuable insights reside within that 19%. 

Among the most severe impact risks of data silos and trapped data are 
compliance risks, hindered decision-making and a lack of a unified view of 
both customers and the business. 

CEO Marc Benioff described agentic AI as revolutionary. Youve got to get your 
data right, he stressed. 

Salesforce sees value in zero-copy architecture in the future of data, 
whereby AI can access the data where it resides without having to move, copy 
or duplicate it. 

More than half (56%) say theyve already started to adopt zero copy, and many 
are already seeing the benefits. Adopters see customer service quality rise 
above the industry standard, and many are also ahead of schedule in terms of 
AI initiatives compared with their counterparts. 

The organizations treating data and AI as an integrated strategy are the ones 
who will successfully move from pilots to execution to see AI deliver 
significant impact, Andrew concluded.
