Finance firms can't prove multiagent ROI

59% / 10%
financial institutions piloting multiagent AI vs. those achieving enterprise-wide orchestration, per Capgemini
True combines network gains and AI transformation to drive growth
Daily news · CFO
60%
True quantifies agent labor substitution directly: customer-service AI now does work equivalent to about 135 full-time employees, and a four-month B2B sales pilot drove 60% more opportunities. Finance leaders should ask vendors for this kind of FTE-equivalent metric before approving agent budgets, since vague productivity claims won't survive an audit.
Agent identity becomes a security category

The impending tech economic crisis: Who's going to pay for all this?
Daily news · CFO
14.2%
Gartner projects 2026 IT spending up 14.2% with data-center systems surging 62.5%, a pace CIO argues customers can't sustain. CFOs should model AI infrastructure cost pass-through into vendor contracts now, before renewal cycles absorb the increase silently.
