Data Foundation Determines Who Wins the AI Agent Race

Companies that built strong data infrastructure before the agentic AI boom are now best positioned to capitalize on it. Enterprises without that foundation face a widening gap as agentic systems become mainstream. Gordon Food Service and partner 66degrees demonstrate this advantage, having centralized data on Google Cloud Platform years before the hype. Rather than replacing workers, agentic AI is amplifying workforce capacity, with 66degrees reporting up to 10X productivity gains for its consultants.
