By 2026, 30% of enterprises are expected to have automated more than half of their network activities, an increase from under 10% in mid-2023, according to a new study by Gartner.

Hyperautomation, which involves using multiple technologies and tools including AI, machine learning and robotic process automation, also continues to be a priority for 90% of large enterprises, but fewer than 20% have mastered measuring their initiatives, the researchers found. 

Gartner found that infrastructure and operations leaders are increasingly turning to AI-based analytics and augmented decision making, including intelligent automation (IA).
