Reports2026 Enterprise Technology Benchmark Report
Report Overview
The 2026 Intuit Enterprise Technology Benchmark Report examines how senior business and finance leaders are approaching technology investment, AI adoption, and operational consolidation. Based on an independently conducted survey of 2,000 senior US business leaders and executives at companies with over $2.5 million in annual revenue - with a particular focus on finance and technology leaders - the report provides a ground-level view of how enterprise technology decisions are actually being made rather than how vendors say they should be made.
Key Findings
On tech consolidation
73% of senior US business and finance leaders agree that consolidating their tech stack and reducing tool sprawl is the fastest path to a healthier bottom line. The accumulation of disconnected tools has become a recognized problem rather than a feature of enterprise flexibility.
On AI ROI relative to other technology
80% of senior US business and finance leaders say AI delivers faster ROI than any other technology investment. That finding sits in tension with the broader ROI data from Deloitte, McKinsey, and Domino - unless you understand what it is measuring. Leaders who have deployed AI in the right places, into the right processes, are seeing faster returns. The challenge is getting AI into those places.
On data silos
67% of senior executives say data silos currently hinder decision-making. Not in the abstract - as a current, operational constraint on decisions they are trying to make today. Data silos are not a future problem to solve. They are an active cost in the current operation.
On workflow redesign
92% are redesigning workflows around AI while keeping human oversight central. The organizations making progress are not just deploying AI into existing workflows - they are redesigning the workflows around what AI can do, with humans making the decisions that require human judgment.
Why This Matters for Enterprise Leaders
The 73% consolidation finding is significant because it represents a shift in how enterprise technology decisions are framed. For years, the default approach was to add the best-in-class tool for each function and integrate them later. 73% of leaders are now recognizing that the integration cost - in time, in manual effort, in data fragmentation - exceeds the benefit of best-in-class point solutions.
The 67% data silo finding tells you what is driving that consolidation pressure. Executives cannot make the decisions they need to make because the data those decisions depend on lives in systems that do not connect. That is a measurable operational cost, and the leaders in this survey are measuring it.
Anterra's Take
The 73% consolidation finding is exactly the environment our Enterprise Platforms practice was built for. Organizations that recognize tool sprawl as their primary operational constraint are ready to replace the patchwork with a single platform engineered for their specific operation. That conversation is much easier to have when the organization has already identified the problem.
The 67% data silo finding connects directly to our Data Infrastructure practice. Decision-makers who cannot trust the numbers in front of them because those numbers came from systems that disagree with each other are living the exact problem a well-designed data warehouse solves. The market awareness of this problem is high. The number of organizations with a solution designed for their specific data architecture is low.
