WHY AI READINESS SHOULD BE A 2025 PRIORITY LAYING THE FOUNDATION FOR SUSTAINABLE AI SUCCESS.

The last few years have seen AI evolve from a theoretical advantage to a central force in customer experience, especially in contact centers. With generative AI, large language models, and now Agentic tools gaining momentum, many businesses are racing to claim their stake in the AI-powered future. But one hard truth remains: AI adoption is not plug-and-play.

In 2025, AI readiness will separate market leaders from those left behind.
AI readiness is not about launching the latest tool or chasing the flashiest demo. It’ s about laying the operational, cultural, and technological foundation for sustainable AI success. As we’ ve seen through our work and conversations in the industry, people, process, and technology must move together.
