Digital transformation is no longer a “someday” agenda in engineering. In 2025, 64% of engineering organizations expect AI and advanced analytics to reshape how they design, build, and maintain assets, even as legacy systems still slow parts of the workflow. The gap between those ambitions and what actually gets implemented is where the most telling stats live.
