Capgemini survey finds 1,300 large organizations reassessing infrastructure dependence

  • Capgemini surveyed executives on organizations’ dependence on critical digital infrastructure.
  • 1,300 large organizations across 11 countries participated in the survey.
  • More than one-third said replacing a critical provider would take over a year.

Large companies and public bodies are reassessing their dependence on critical digital infrastructure as geopolitical tensions, export controls and cyber threats expose vulnerabilities that were once largely taken for granted. A Capgemini survey of executives at 1,300 large organizations across 11 countries found that digital infrastructure is increasingly being managed like energy and physical supply chains, with board oversight, contingency planning and investment becoming priorities. Companies are dedicating resources to identify critical risks, while some, including Airbus, have begun reducing reliance on key technologies and providers. The survey also highlights digital sovereignty (control over critical digital capabilities), which executives associate with proprietary data, AI models and intellectual property. Nearly half of respondents said replacing a critical provider would take three months to a year, while more than a third said it would take longer than a year. Rather than replacing providers wholesale, organizations are focusing on retaining control of valuable data, AI models and other workloads that would be difficult to replace if access were disrupted.
