Concentrix Corporation, a global leader in technology and services, has released findings from a new independent survey conducted by Everest Group. The survey of over 450 enterprise leaders worldwide reveals a decisive shift in business strategy: companies are leveraging generative AI to drive intelligent transformation, emphasizing innovation, customer experience, and long-term value creation over short-term cost cutting.
Takeaways: The Enterprise AI Transformation Playbook
1. AI-Driven Modernization Overtakes Cost-Cutting
Rather than focusing solely on compliance or cost reduction, enterprise leaders are investing in technology modernization, AI/analytics, and customer experience. This signals a proactive shift in priorities fueled by rapid technological advances and escalating customer expectations.
2. Generative AI Budgets Are on the Rise
Organizations are allocating new budgets specifically for generative AI and outsourcing over the next two to three years—highlighting a clear preference for long-term strategic transformation over short-term efficiency gains.
3. AI Will Augment, Not Replace, Human Roles
Role augmentation continues to dominate workforce strategies. Enterprises are embracing AI-human collaboration models, positioning generative AI as a complement to existing roles, not a replacement—especially across industries like financial services, healthcare, and insurance.
4. End-to-End Transformation Partners Are in Demand
Enterprises are prioritizing partnerships with vendors capable of delivering transformation at scale, emphasizing governance, CX alignment, and operational agility. Providers who can integrate across domains and execute reliably are winning more trust.

The survey found Concentrix ranks higher than any other CX player when enterprises evaluate partners for generative AI-led transformation. Its reputation now stands alongside top IT and AI tech firms as a trusted guide for end-to-end intelligent transformation.
