For the last several years, Gartner has been analyzing data and analytics trends. In the Gartner® Top Trends in Data and Analytics for 2026 report, Gartner says, “AI-first enterprises outperform competitors by integrating agents, semantics and platforms into their D&A strategy. Successful organizations will leverage a unified platform to drive business success through AI-first initiatives.” Gartner further states that “Semantics at the core is critical for AI accuracy and reliability, achieved through composite semantic layers and GraphRAG to provide contextual meaning and eliminate fragmented architectures. Organizations that adopt these strategies improve AI agent response accuracy.”
According to this report, “By 2030, more than one in 10 enterprises will be AI-first, having outperformed competitors through the adoption of agents, semantics and converged D&A platforms.”
AI-first enterprises require more than AI models — they require trusted semantics and unified data access. We believe Denodo enables organizations to become AI-first by delivering a unified data and semantic layer that powers accurate, reliable AI.
