Artificial intelligence is reshaping the technology services landscape, with leading reports from IDC, Gartner, and new offerings from ServiceNow pointing to a future where managing AI sprawl becomes as critical as delivering AI capabilities themselves. High-performing channel partners are leaning into AI specialization, driving measurable outcomes for customers and fueling double-digit growth despite market pressures. At the same time, ServiceNow's “AI Experience” platform aims to consolidate fragmented AI tools, offering a unified interface that can streamline operations and reduce complexity. The broader market, according to Gartner, is accelerating rapidly, with spending on generative AI projected to surpass traditional software in the coming years—meaning providers who fail to deliver outcomes risk being left behind.Yet the rise of AI isn't all progress. Studies from Stanford, European labor groups, and cybersecurity organizations reveal a governance crisis brewing in workplaces. Workers are reporting a surge of “workslop”—AI-generated content that looks like productivity but creates no value—costing companies billions. Algorithmic management is eroding worker autonomy, while surveillance and data risks undermine trust in employers. To compound the problem, employees are increasingly feeding sensitive data into AI systems without adequate training, raising new security vulnerabilities. These trends highlight the urgent need for policies, training, and governance frameworks to ensure AI adds value instead of chaos.The disruption is also spilling into specific industries. In translation, human professionals are already being displaced as AI-driven tools gain adoption. WhatsApp's newly built-in translation capability demonstrates how “good enough” AI can be enough for most users, sidelining human expertise except in fields requiring deep cultural or contextual understanding. The translation sector serves as an early warning sign: as AI grows more capable, other professions—including legal research, finance, and customer support—face similar pressures. The lesson for providers is to help clients identify where AI is appropriate and where human oversight remains essential.Meanwhile, major vendors are steadily encroaching into IT services, redrawing the lines of what MSPs can offer. Acronis is embedding patch management into its backup suite, Slack is introducing AI-powered ticket deflection, GoTo and Nexthink are fusing support and analytics, and IBM is shifting developer tooling to its hosted cloud. Each move chips away at traditional MSP offerings, putting pressure on providers to adapt. The opportunity lies in integration and governance—helping customers unify fragmented tools, ensure compliance, and deliver outcomes that vendors alone cannot. For MSPs, the message is clear: evolve toward higher-value services, or risk being sidelined by the very vendors you once partnered with.Four things to know today00:00 From Growth to Governance: IDC, Gartner, and ServiceNow Show Where AI Is Headed for Partners and Customers05:07 AI at Work: “Workslop,” Surveillance, and Data Leaks Signal Rising Governance Crisis08:42 From WhatsApp to Workflows: AI Translation Disruption Signals Broader Job Shifts Ahead11:33 Vendors Expand Into IT Services: Acronis, Slack, IBM, and GoTo Redraw the MSP Value Line This is the Business of Tech.

All Things TechIE Podcast - Episode 127 at IBC2025This a booth tour of Storj, one of the sponsors to All Things TechIE Podcast while at IBC2025.ATLANTA, September 10, 2025 – Storj today announced Production Cloud, a purpose-built platform for modern media workflows. It combines Storj's new Global Collaboration tier of high-performance distributed object storage and Object Mount cloud media access into a unified media solution. Designed for editorial, media production teams in post, news, and sports, Production Cloud empowers creative teams to collaborate globally, move faster, and scale with confidence. By combining distributed object storage and seamless file access into a single offering, Production Cloud enables collaboration, low-latency editing, and cost-effective archiving across distributed environments. Storj also announced that cloud compute for media is in beta and will soon be added to the platform. "Storj is focused on solving the challenges in the world's most demanding workflows,” said Colby Winegar, CEO of Storj. “We now have the storage, compute, and access solutions to give creative teams the speed, scale, and flexibility to work without limits." “Storj's storage tiers and file-based access already address key bottlenecks in media production,” said Alex Holtz, Research Director, Worldwide Media & Entertainment Digital Strategies at IDC. “And now, the Production Cloud puts everything M&E teams need to move faster, scale on demand, and simplify workflows into one integrated platform.” Global production: Where traditional cloud providers fall short.Media production – from broadcast and creative agencies to film and TV – has evolved rapidly in recent years, with more remote collaboration, massive file sizes, global delivery timelines, unpredictable cloud bills, and non-stop deadlines. Since 2022, the number of films and TV shows made in the U.S. has dropped by about 40%. Meanwhile, over 70% of M&E leaders in the U.S. and U.K. agree or strongly agree media production work is becoming more remote and collaborative, with nearly 80% stating that migrating from on-premise to cloud-based workflows is important or very important. Traditional cloud providers were not optimized for the realities of media and entertainment decades ago, and the needs of production teams today expose the limits of legacy cloud providers daily. Transferring hundreds of gigabytes across regions leads to delays, while surprise egress fees strain budgets, and replication-heavy architectures slow down productions. Modern production teams now need:Instant access to huge files in the cloudPredictable pricing with no egress surprisesConsistent global performance without replicating across regionsSecure, private storage built for compliance and resilienceWorkflows that just work across tools and teams Production Cloud: Modern infrastructure for modern production teams.Production Cloud from Storj is designed to solve these specific needs, reflecting a strategic shift in how creative teams interact with cloud infrastructure. It bundles Storj's high-performance Global Collaboration tier of Distributed Storage with Object Mount, Storj's proprietary interface for accessing media in the cloud, and has no egress fees and zero API fees. This integration allows users to ingest camera-to-cloud, perform frame-accurate editing, proxy workflows, conform, and content distribution directly from the cloud. Production Cloud eliminates egress and API charges, simplifying production and enabling predictable costs for high-throughput workflows. Customers can also add an Active Archive storage tier that supports long-term retention and active retrieval for repurposing content. When done, archived assets remain accessible without the cost or complexity of traditional cold storage. The Production Cloud accelerates real-world production workflows.Ingest - Fast ingest, less wrangling with direct S3 access for camera-to-cloud workflows.Dailies - Frame-accurate playback for reviewing LUTS, enable instant remote review and faster creative decisions.Assistant Editing - Proxy generation, metadata tagging, and global clip access for editorial prep.Selects & Assembly - Instant bin and timeline access lets editors start rough cuts without delay.Editing - Multi-track support, VFX pulls, and remote preview deliver full editorial control from anywhere.Conform & Delivery - Ultra-fast final conform and master, export directly from cloud storage in real time. Additional features of Production Cloud include:Features and pricing for media - Transparent, bundled model that reflects how media teams actually work. By combining infrastructure into a single offering, Storj eliminates the inconsistency of egress fees and eliminates the need for regional replication, resulting in predictable and reasonable costs.Consistent performance globally - Storj's distributed architecture stores data across tens of thousands of nodes worldwide, where only a small portion of the data from the fastest nodes are needed to deliver file access. This design provides consistent low-latency performance. See recent performance benchmarking performed by Integrated Digital Solutions. Global access without replication - The unique design of Storj enables remote teams to access content anywhere in the world without copying data to additional storage regions. This approach delivers 11 nines of durability and multi-region availability without the cost or complexity of traditional cloud replication. Storj helps global media, AI and creative organizations simplify workflows with the distributed cloud, including object storage, file storage, and flexible on-demand compute. In recent performance benchmarking from Integrated Digital Solutions, Storj maintained consistent performance across geographic locations throughout the 24 hour period tested with less volatility than other providers. The only other provider tested who came close to Storj global performance was AWS S3, but with much higher costs, requiring regional replication. These results cement Storj's position as a distributed storage platform for organizations struggling with the performance, complexity, and cost limitations of centralized cloud hyperscalers. This is particularly relevant for the media and entertainment industry, which operates at a global scale and with large-file-intensive workflows.
Até 2026, mais de 90% das organizações no mundo sentirão os efeitos da crise de habilidades de TI - a falta de profissionais poderá significar um custo total de US$ 5,5 trilhões em atrasos, problemas de qualidade e perda de receita, de acordo com a IDC. Entre os dez skills mais necessários estão o conhecimento em IA e também em nuvem, com arquitetura, gerenciamento e armazenamento de dados e desenvolvimento de software. Muitas dessas habilidades estão diretamente relacionadas ao open source - que, apesar de sua crescente adoção em distintas organizações, vêm enfrentando escassez de profissionais capacitados. Neste episódio do podcast da Red Hat, Alexandre Duarte, vice-presidente de Serviços para a América Latina na Red Hat, faz uma análise do cenário e conta como a colaboração pode acelerar a qualificação de talentos mais conectados com os desafios reais da indústria, trazendo ainda o exemplo Red Hat Academy, programa de treinamento acadêmico da companhia.

A inteligência artificial está no centro da transformação digital das empresas, mas será que elas estão realmente preparadas para essa mudança? No episódio de hoje do Podcast Canaltech, conversamos com executivos da Intel sobre um estudo realizado em parceria com a IDC que investigou a maturidade da IA na América Latina. Os resultados mostram um descompasso entre percepção e realidade: enquanto muitas empresas acreditam estar totalmente prontas para adotar a tecnologia, ainda enfrentam barreiras importantes, como altos custos, falta de infraestrutura e desafios culturais. Para entender o cenário, ouvimos Gisele Ruiz Lanza, vice-presidente da Intel para a América Latina; Marcelo Montenegro, Diretor de Parcerias e Alianças; e Fabiano Sabatini, Gerente de Aliança e Especialista de IoT na Intel para América Latina.

WBSRocks: Business Growth with ERP and Digital Transformation
Send us a textEnterprise IT decisions carry enormous financial and strategic weight, and analyst firms like Gartner, Forrester, and IDC play a pivotal role in shaping them. Yet despite the influence of their research, many IT and business leaders struggle to use it effectively. Too often, organizations rely on reprints or surface-level summaries without grasping the full context or limitations. When properly interpreted, analyst insights can significantly reduce risk, streamline decisions, and steer companies away from costly mistakes. But unlocking that value requires more than just access—it demands a clear understanding of how to translate dense reports into actionable guidance that aligns with specific business needs.In this episode, Sam Gupta engages in a LinkedIn live session with Carter Lusher—an industry analyst veteran with experience on both sides of the table, as a former Gartner and Ovum analyst, in a live LinkedIn session as they discuss the consumer's guide to IT industry analyst research and advice.Background Soundtrack: Away From You – Mauro SommFor more information on growth strategies for SMBs using ERP and digital transformation, visit our community at wbs. rocks or elevatiq.com.

Is generative AI just another tool in the belt, or is it a fundamental transformation of the developer profession? We kick off a two-part special to get to the bottom of how AI is impacting the enterprise. SADA's Associate CTO of AI & ML, Simon Margolis, sits down with Ameer Abbas, Senior Product Manager at Google Cloud, for an insider's look at the future of software development. They cut through the noise to discuss how tools like Gemini Code Assist are moving beyond simple code completion to augment the entire software delivery lifecycle, solving real-world challenges and changing the way we think about productivity, quality, and automation. In this episode, you'll learn: What Gemini Code Assist is and the broad range of developer personas it serves. The critical debate: Is AI augmenting developer skills or automating their jobs? How to leverage AI for practical enterprise challenges like application modernization, improving test coverage, and tackling technical debt. Why the focus is shifting from developer productivity to overall software delivery performance. Ameer's perspective on the future of development careers and why students should lean into AI, not fear it. The limitations of "vibe coding" and the need for intentional, high-quality AI prompting in a corporate environment. Join us for more content by liking, sharing, and subscribing!
Guest post by Cathy Mauzaize, President, Europe, Middle East and Africa (EMEA) at ServiceNow As businesses shift from AI experimentation to full-scale implementation, bridging the AI trust gap has never been more urgent. While AI-driven innovations drive productivity, they also introduce new uncertainties. Executives across the C-suite must take the lead, embracing change and continuous learning. In EMEA, we are at a pivotal moment. Governments and business leaders alike are looking to ensure the benefits of agentic AI are maximised responsibly. As intelligent agents become embedded across front and back-offices, trust and accountability remain top priorities. Governance isn't just IT's responsibility - it requires active leadership from the entire C-suite. As global AI regulations tighten, clear governance can ensure AI is deployed transparently, ethically, and securely. AI decision-making must be explainable and fair to earn trust from employees, customers, and stakeholders. This trust doesn't just happen - it's built by active commitment, which business leaders must champion from the top down. Attitudes towards AI are shifting The dramatic rise in the use of generative AI and agentic AI has raised valid concerns around security, data privacy, regulatory compliance, and even the risk of employee over-reliance on AI, at the expense of human judgment. The key is balance: pairing the speed of AI with the empathy of human insight. ServiceNow's 2025 Consumer Voice Report shows how attitudes are evolving. Today, only a fraction of consumers in EMEA trust AI to handle a suspicious transaction. Yet, in the next three years, 33% say they would trust AI in the same scenario. Growing confidence signals greater comfort with AI handling critical tasks. Crucially, increased trust doesn't remove the need for human oversight. This isn't a choice of one over the other. AI and humans thrive when working together seamlessly, with leaders setting the direction for integrating AI effectively into workflows. Trust in AI starts with data For AI to be effective and trusted, it must be built on a solid foundation of clean, reliable data. I've seen this happen time and again over the past two years with proof-of-concept projects. Without strong data management that ensures accuracy, fairness, and relevance, AI will deliver weak outcomes - and take longer to deliver value. Meanwhile, users trust AI more when they understand how data is used and how decisions are made. However, biased data can lead to biased results, eroding confidence. By taking the lead in identifying bias and maintaining oversight, leaders ensure AI operates responsibly across both teams and data flows. Transparency shouldn't stop at internal audiences. Communicating clearly with customers about how AI processes data helps foster long-term trust and ensures that business impact is fully understood. Innovative leaders put governance and orchestration at the heart of AI adoption, establishing transparency as a core component of their business transformation. Leadership-led AI AI has the power to transform businesses, offering new ways to solve real-world challenges. This isn't some future promise. AI agents are already delivering tangible results today. One utility provider I recently met in the Middle East is a great example - they're exploring how to leverage AI agents to automate billing dispute resolution by analysing historical consumption data, recommending solutions, and triggering downstream actions. The result: faster resolution times, higher customer satisfaction, and reduced operational costs. Given the tangible value, it's no surprise that IDC projects that, by 2025, 50% of organisations will use enterprise AI agents configured for specific business tasks. Yet, the difference between unlocking AI's full value and falling short comes down to leadership. The path to success starts with leadership buy-in and investment in innovations that enable centralised, transparent, a...

Los smartphones han dejado de sorprender como hace una década, pero siguen marcando nuestro día a día. Hoy repaso su evolución reciente, las apuestas que intentan revitalizar el mercado y qué lugar ocuparán en un futuro dominado por nuevos dispositivos.BLOQUE 1: El presente de los móviles en 2025: plegables, modulares y gama altaEn 2025, los smartphones se han estabilizado tecnológicamente: los modelos de gama alta ofrecen cámaras espectaculares, pantallas brillantes y chips cada vez más eficientes, pero pocas sorpresas. El mercado premium sigue liderado por gigantes como Samsung, Apple y Google, con terminales que superan con holgura los 1.200 €. Sin embargo, muchos usuarios ya perciben que las diferencias de un año a otro son mínimas, lo que ha ralentizado el ritmo de renovación.BLOQUE 2: Estancamiento y cambios en el consumoEl estancamiento en las cifras de ventas es un hecho. Según los últimos datos de IDC y Counterpoint, las ventas mundiales de smartphones llevan tres años estabilizadas, con una ligera caída en mercados maduros como Europa o Estados Unidos.

ServiceNow, the AI platform for business transformation, has released its latest Enterprise AI Maturity Index in partnership with Oxford Economics. The findings reveal a surprising trend in Europe and the Middle East: although AI investment continues to grow, the average AI maturity score across the region has dropped by 10 points year over year. As enterprises struggle to keep pace with rapid innovation, many are finding it difficult to translate AI ambition into scalable, effective execution. The index examines five key components indicative of AI maturity level: leadership and strategy, workflows, talent, governance, and investment. Together, they provide a comprehensive view of how prepared organisations are to scale AI successfully. Now in its second year, the global report draws on insights from almost 4,500 respondents globally, including 1,950 across nine markets in Europe and the Middle East. It shows that emerging technologies, such as agentic AI, are fuelling experimentation and delivering early returns across Europe and the Middle East. However, the pace of change is moving faster than organisations are able to scale AI in a structured, governed way. To this end, the region's average AI maturity score has dropped 10 points year-on-year, from 44 to just 34 out of 100. "Organisations across Europe and the Middle East are accelerating their AI projects, but many are still in the early stages of their journey," said Cathy Mauzaize, President, EMEA at ServiceNow. "They recognise the potential, and now is the time to build on that energy. To keep moving forward, organisations are exploring how to lay the right foundations to make the data work for them and give their people the skills to use AI with confidence. According to IDC, European spending on artificial intelligence will reach $144.6 billion in 2028. The opportunity is huge, but only if we focus on getting the basics right today." The report outlines three major trends shaping the region's AI journey and what's needed to turn early success into lasting transformation. AI is outpacing organisations' capacity to harness it There is a clear appetite for innovation, with nearly half (47%) of organisations in Europe and the Middle East launching more than 100 AI use cases in the past year. Still, most remain in the early stages of implementation, as reflected in this year's overall European AI maturity score of just 34. The majority of the region's organisations are focused on experimentation and expansion, with only 6% reaching the augmentation stage, which is the most advanced stage identified in the survey. Agentic AI presents a clear opportunity Agentic AI, which is AI that can act autonomously, is poised to reshape enterprise automation. However, awareness varies widely across the region. While 15% of organisations in Europe and the Middle East are already using agentic AI and 42% plan to implement it within 12 months, familiarity is still in its early days. Only one in five organisations is very family with agentic AI, revealing a significant knowledge gap. The opportunity is clear, with over half of early adopters in Europe reporting improved gross margins (58%), greater efficiency and productivity (59%), and better experiences (60%). Governance is the missing link Rising adoption brings rising risk. AI at scale introduces serious challenges around cybersecurity, privacy, and regulatory compliance. However, progress on governance has stalled in Europe and the Middle East. The number of organisations making significant strides in AI data governance has dropped from 45% to 42% year-on-year. Similarly, those succeeding in breaking down data and operational silos declined slightly from 43% to 42%. This points to a need for greater focus on managing AI risk effectively. The pause in progress on AI governance indicates organisations must place greater emphasis on this, given that data security is cited as the number one barrier to realising AI value. To scale AI sa...
O novo episódio do Podcast Canaltech traz uma conversa com Pietro Delai, Diretor Enterprise para a América Latina no IDC. Ele analisa os principais resultados de um levantamento exclusivo feito com empresas do Brasil e de outros países da América Latina sobre o uso da Inteligência Artificial. A pesquisa revela como as companhias estão aplicando IA na prática, quais são os principais obstáculos, como acesso aos dados e governança e onde estão concentrando seus investimentos. Pietro também comenta a autopercepção das empresas brasileiras em relação à maturidade digital e revela um dado curioso: muitas delas se dizem extremamente preparadas para a IA, mesmo enfrentando dificuldades.

IDC's Ryan Reith argues that although there is no critical use case for AI PCs today, such devices will bring increased security and efficiency. He says that not everyone will need an AI PC, but they will be key to the future of work and that education of IT, management and employees will be key to success.
