Agentic AI and Digital Labor: The European Perspective

Milan Kalal, Neil Ward-Dutton — Thu, 12 Feb 2026 05:00:00 GMT

This IDC Survey presentation leverages data from IDC's Impact of Agentic AI on Digital Labor Survey, conducted in November 2025. It analyzes results from 151 European IT and business leaders whose organizations already have AI agents in production. The goal of the research was to gain a better understanding of how enterprises are deploying agentic solutions to automate and augment core business processes.

The research highlights a broad and high interest in agentic AI as European organizations move beyond experimental phases toward coordinated operational scaling. Driven by a desire for faster innovation and tangible productivity gains, European enterprises plan the sophisticated use of AI agents across their business processes in 2026.

“European enterprises are moving past the ‘honeymoon phase’ of AI assistants and are now tasked with the hard work of scaling agentic workflows that deliver measurable value,” said Senior Research Manager Milan Kalal, IDC European Automation Strategies. “We see a clear trend: Organizations are bridging the ‘productivity gap’ by deploying AI agents that handle unstructured, data-rich tasks that traditional automation simply couldn’t touch. The real winners in 2026 will be those who can successfully balance the centralized control of IT with the localized speed and domain expertise of business units.”

Jim Mercer, Stephen Elliot, Katie Norton, Shannon Kalvar, Archana Venkatraman — Thu, 12 Feb 2026 05:00:00 GMT

Dynatrace Perform 2026 was recently held in Las Vegas and marked a clear inflection point in the evolution of observability, positioning Dynatrace beyond monitoring and analytics toward supervised autonomous operations. The event underscored how IT complexity, particularly from agentic AI and LLM-based applications, is forcing enterprises to rethink how they operate, govern, and scale digital systems. With the introduction of Dynatrace Intelligence and a strong emphasis on deterministic AI fusion with agentic AI, unified data, and customer-validated outcomes, Dynatrace made a credible case that it is well positioned to deliver on this transition.

FinTech's Push into Adjacent Banking Services Creates Challenges and Potential Consolidation

Marc DeCastro — Thu, 12 Feb 2026 05:00:00 GMT

This IDC study shows how fintech's expansion into adjacent banking services is reshaping the retail banking landscape, driving disruption beyond products to focus on CX. As fintechs and nonfinancial companies embed financial capabilities into their platforms, traditional banks face challenges in maintaining customer engagement and relevance. The shift is propelled by rising customer expectations, demand for contextual financial support, and economic pressures, especially among younger demographics. Although fintechs excel at targeted, digital-first solutions, they must navigate regulatory hurdles and operational complexity as they scale. Banks, meanwhile, risk disintermediation unless they modernize and prioritize omni-channel, personalized experiences. The evolving market may lead to consolidation and deeper service integration, with trust, privacy, and customer-centricity as critical success factors.

Tapan Patel, Hayley Sutherland, Michelle Morgan, Lou Reinemann — Thu, 12 Feb 2026 05:00:00 GMT

This IDC Market Perspective discusses the announcements from Genesys’ Analyst Summit held in Mexico City in December 2025. Genesys is evolving from a cloud-native CCaaS provider to an experience orchestration platform, positioning itself to deliver agentic AI-powered customer and employee experiences. The company demonstrated strong financial momentum with Genesys Cloud reaching nearly $2.4 billion in ARR (30%+ YoY growth) and outlined its vision to become the orchestration layer where human and AI agents collaborate to deliver outcomes.

Genesys’ strategy centers on four pillars — automation, augmentation, personalization, and optimization — supported by Large Action Models, Event Data Platform, journey analytics, and deep ecosystem partnerships with companies such as Salesforce and ServiceNow. IDC views this transformation as well aligned with enterprise demand for vendor consolidation and AI-driven CX, with Genesys positioned to capture significant market share through its unified platform architecture, AI agents, and WEM differentiation, and customer enablement investments.
