Over 70% of Businesses Willing to Integrate Generative AI, Yet 'Integration' Remains the Key Challenge

Strategit Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Minato-ku, Tokyo; Representative: Fumie Kato; hereinafter 'the Company') conducted a survey on the 'Actual State of Generative AI Usage in Business' targeting 120 business professionals. The results show high expectations for Generative AI, with over 70% expressing a desire to integrate it with business systems. However, challenges regarding 'how to connect'—specifically 'incorporating into workflows,' 'system integration,' and 'governance preparation'—have emerged as significant hurdles. [Survey Details: Internet research, March 9-10, 2026, 120 respondents including IT/DX/Management]. Key findings: Only 27% are in the 'full-scale utilization' phase, while many remain in the 'exploration' phase. The top reason for not being able to use it effectively is the lack of integration with existing SaaS and manual data handling. Over 74% are positive about system integration. Strategit aims to accelerate corporate AI adoption by supporting these 'connection' aspects through their platform, 'JOINT AI Flow,' which offers over 110 connectors for rapid, no-code/low-code integration.
