The State of Application Strategy in 2026
The age of inference is here-are you ready?
Self-managed inferencing and multi-model AI are now the norm:
- 78% of digital leaders operate their own inference
- Organizations rely on an average of seven AI models.
Multi-model AI offers benefits but adds complexity and creates delivery, security, and management challenges. That’s particularly true for the 93% of organizations operating in hybrid multicloud environments. Failure to plan for current trends—or deploying inadequate point solutions—will likely cause AI deployments to stall or present scalability challenges along the AI application journey.
Read the report to learn how to respond as AI becomes a crucial infrastructure layer and agentic AI invokes new security, observability, and management challenges.
