Podcasts about IDC

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.

Com cargas de trabalho cada vez maiores e a exigência de processamento aumentando a níveis exponenciais, com as demandas de trabalho da Inteligência Artificial, o consumo de eletricidade pelos datacenters cresce a níveis nunca vistos - e na mesma medida, a necessidade de encontrar fontes de energia renovável que suportem toda essa demanda, maior a cada dia. Um novo relatório da International Data Corporation (IDC) analisa os gastos com eletricidade em datacenters e as implicações para provedores de tecnologia e operadores, estimando que o consumo global do processamento mais que dobre entre 2023 e 2028. Repleto de fontes renováveis e limpas de energia, o Brasil se posiciona como um destaque mundial, ao mesmo tempo em que grandes players desse mercado anunciam investimentos em diversas modalidades de geração, como a nuclear, para suprir a demanda.

Gayatri Kalyanaraman is in conversation with Sunil (SKG) Gupta, Senior Director in Cognizant and author of the book “Unlock Yourself” about creating a purpose led and fun filled life — a seasoned corporate leader with over three decades of experience spanning supply chain, IT-BPM, SaaS platforms, and now, marketing and influencer relations at Cognizant.Some highlights from the conversation has two major parts A Career Built on Transitions and Reinvention and making of the authorSunil started his career in the early 1990s in procurement, choosing the lesser-known path at a time when everyone else was aiming for sales, marketing, or R&D. His instinct for building structured systems began even then.By the late 90s, he was part of one of India's earliest experiments with reverse auctions and e-procurement, trained on platforms like Ariba before they became mainstream — gaining domain expertise that would shape the next phase of his career.Sunil joined the IT-BPM world in 1999, sparked by a newspaper ad that challenged readers to rethink their role during the Internet boom. From there, he helped set up B2B digital platforms across multiple sectors, including food and manufacturing.One of his standout projects was setting up a fully hosted commodity futures exchange, offering not just software but an end-to-end platform-as-a-service (long before SaaS became a buzzword).At Cognizant, Sunil spent over a decade building enterprise architecture and consulting practices, including growing a team of 300+ technology and business architects. He played a key role in setting up frameworks that bridged technology with real business impact.He later moved to the Philippines, taking on leadership roles in BPO services and transformation, and now works in marketing and analyst relations, helping position Cognizant's offerings with global firms like Gartner, Forrester, and IDC.The Making of an Author – Unlock Yourself:Sunil's book is a blend of personal introspection, professional learning, and tools for self-coaching.He introduces the RADHA framework – Reflect, Ask, Decide, Help, Act – to guide people through change and self-discovery.A strong advocate for neurodiversity and learning with compassion, Sunil discusses how society needs to reframe what “normal” means in both education and the workplace.His approach to writing and self-reflection was deeply influenced by the Theory of Constraints, coaching experiences, and even NFT community dynamics as an example of meaningful online engagement.Key Takeaway Moments:“Procurement taught me how systems work — and how people work within those systems.”“I realized I've always been in procurement… even when I didn't know it — we're all negotiating in life and work.”“My transition from technology to marketing feels as exciting as my first job — it's like starting fresh, but with wisdom in your backpack.”“Ask for help. Not because you're weak, but because you were never meant to do this alone.”A fresh take on fulfillment, success, and redefining “being number one”Sunil Gupta, also known as SKG, is a vibrant lifestyle step- up coach and a seasoned expert with over three decades in business strategy, program management, and corporate real estate. An IIT Kanpur alum, Sunil has enhanced his credentials with leadership programs from Symbiosis, Harvard Business Publishing, TinyMagiq, and SnehWorld. He volunteers with unicorn incubator IIT Startups and the Art of Living, Philippines. Sunil's personal advocacy is guiding first generation graduate girl students - whom he fondly calls as #BiryaniGirls.Known for his playful nature in childhood, Sunil worked diligently through high school and eventually graduated as a Mechanical Engineer from the esteemed IIT Kanpur in 1992. He later, in 2003, completed a PG in InternationalTrade from Symbiosis Institute of Management Studies and in 2021, completed an Executive Leadership Development program by Harvard Business Publishing and subsequentlya 7-day residential TrainTheTrainer (T3P) program by Sneh Desai & team.Sunil boasts over three decades of experience in multiple industries with a focus on business strategy, portfolio & program management, corporate real estate & workplace management and sourcing.

Over the years Sunil has contributed to multiplewhitepapers and leading books on Theory of Constraints & Business Transformation. At present he is working on multiple books on personal development, goal setting, habit forming and purposeful living in what he calls as #TheNewAge - the era of uncertainties with immense promises and threats. Sunil is also preparing to launch his NFT Art & short story collection.Sunil is a staunch believer in the power of community and is dedicated to making a positive global impact through his work. He's deeply grateful to his mentors, family, friends, andcolleagues for their influence on his life and success.He considers himself to be a lover, actor, trader, teacher, peaceful warrior, saint, and prince, albeit with a fear of snakes, heights, and loneliness. He enjoys yoga, dogs, cycling, badminton, AI art & story creation, movies, cricket, and human connection. Connect with him if you're seeking someone who's passionate, driven, and a bit quirky!Sunil can be contacted at https://www.linkedin.com/in/sunilkguptaskg/https://sunilkgupta.com interests / passionhttps://www.amazon.in/Unlock-Yourself-New-Age-Dialogues/dp/9360068152 - Unlock yourself in the new age - a book rooted in self-awareness, neurodivergence, personal rituals, and authentic transformation.

Microsoft is rolling out a preview of its new feature called Recall, which captures screenshots of user activity on CoPilot Plus PCs. This feature, initially intended for launch alongside CoPilot Plus PCs, faced delays due to security concerns. Users must opt-in to save snapshots with Recall and can pause the feature at any time. This development raises important questions about data ownership and how organizations should approach the use of scraped data, especially as automated bots increasingly threaten the sustainability of open-source projects like Wikimedia.The podcast also discusses the impact of tariffs on IT budget planning, with IDC lowering its projected growth in global IT spending for 2025 from 10% to 5%. Many companies are experiencing uncertainty in their budgets, leading to spending cutbacks. CIOs are advised to prepare for various potential tariff scenarios, particularly as technology prices for devices are expected to be affected. The ongoing cuts in federal jobs are also impacting Managed Service Providers (MSPs), prompting them to diversify their client bases and adapt to changes in the federal market.In the cybersecurity realm, CyberFox has announced a strategic integration with Synchro to enhance security and operational efficiency for MSPs. This partnership aims to simplify security tools for providers, allowing them to increase security without sacrificing efficiency or budget. Additionally, Cohesity has expanded its partnership with Google Cloud to improve cyber resilience and data insights for organizations facing cyber threats, emphasizing that cybersecurity is becoming an essential infrastructure rather than an add-on.The episode concludes with insights from the 2025 AI Index, highlighting advancements in AI model efficiency and a notable increase in AI incidents. The report indicates a growing divide in AI optimism between the U.S. and China, with significant investment in AI continuing in the U.S. The discussion also touches on the importance of backward compatibility in Wi-Fi technology, illustrating how innovation and stability are crucial for modern IT services. The podcast encourages listeners to consider how to implement guardrails for customers while leveraging stability as a competitive differentiator. Four things to know today 00:00 Web Bots Are Taking Your Data—And Now Recall Wants to Watch Too03:23 IDC Slashes IT Growth Forecast Over Tariffs While MSPs Grapple with Federal Market Contraction06:34 Security's Getting Easier to Buy—But Harder to Sell as Strategy08:49 AI Innovation and Wi-Fi Stability: The Twin Pillars of Modern IT Strategy Supported by:  https://syncromsp.com/  Join Dave April 22nd to learn about Marketing in the AI Era.  Signup here:  https://hubs.la/Q03dwWqg0 All our Sponsors: https://businessof.tech/sponsors/ Do you want the show on your podcast app or the written versions of the stories?

In this episode of Hashtag Trending, host Jim Love discusses the potential repercussions of new US tariffs on global IT spending and consumer tech prices. Research from IDC predicts a significant reduction in IT expenditure and possible project delays due to the tariffs announced by the Trump administration. The episode also explores how these tariffs could increase prices for popular consumer electronics, including iPhones and Android devices, and disrupt pre-orders for products like Nintendo's Switch Two. Additionally, Hyundai Motor Group's move to integrate tens of thousands of robots into their manufacturing processes is highlighted, raising questions about the future of jobs in automated factories. The episode concludes with a call for empathy and rational discourse amidst these challenging times. 00:00 Introduction and Headlines 00:23 Impact of US Tariffs on Global IT Spending 02:36 Consumer Tech Price Hikes 05:15 Hyundai's Robotics Revolution 06:23 The Future of Jobs and Automation 07:00 Final Thoughts and Advice

Tariffs imposed by the Trump administration have ignited a trade war, leading to significant economic repercussions for small businesses and the tech sector. The new tariffs, described as potentially the largest since World War I, have raised concerns about a looming recession, with estimates suggesting a 60% risk of economic downturn this year. The stock market reacted negatively, losing approximately $6 trillion in just two days following the announcement. Business leaders, including Restoration Hardware's CEO, have expressed shock at the immediate impact on their companies, with many small businesses facing funding freezes and staffing cuts.As small businesses grapple with the fallout from these tariffs, they are experiencing a surge in customer cancellations and increased financial vulnerability. The National Federation of Independent Businesses reports a decline in optimism among small business owners, who are now accumulating credit card debt and facing challenges in adjusting their supply chains. The Small Business Administration's decision to cut its workforce by over 40% raises further concerns about the support available for struggling enterprises. Meanwhile, the European Union is preparing to respond to the tariffs, potentially affecting major U.S. tech companies.The tech sector is also feeling the strain, with the International Data Corporation warning that U.S. tariffs could halve global IT spending over the next six months. Originally forecasting a 10% growth in IT spending, IDC has revised its expectations downward to 5%. The tariffs are expected to raise technology prices and disrupt supply chains, leading to increased costs for consumers. For instance, the price of the iPhone 16 Pro could rise significantly due to the new tariffs on Chinese goods, forcing companies like Apple to adjust their pricing strategies.Despite a solid jobs report indicating economic growth, the tech sector has seen a decline in job numbers, particularly in tech services and telecommunications. Microsoft has paused data center projects due to oversupply and is reassessing its investments in AI infrastructure. This cautious approach reflects broader concerns about the profitability of AI investments amid competition from lower-cost alternatives. As businesses navigate this uncertain landscape, the need for strategic adjustments in IT spending and supply chain management becomes increasingly critical for both small businesses and tech providers. Four things to know today 00:00 Tariffs Shake Small Businesses: Brace for Shifting Client Budgets and IT Spending Cuts05:36 IT Prices on the Rise – Adapting to the New Reality09:25 Solid Jobs Report Masks Tech Sector Woes: Staffing Challenges Loom Amid Economic Growth11:44 Microsoft's Data Center Pause: AI Investments Getting a Reality Check?  Supported by:  https://getflexpoint.com/msp-radio/https://www.huntress.com/mspradio/  Join Dave April 22nd to learn about Marketing in the AI Era.  Signup here:  https://hubs.la/Q03dwWqg0Four things to know today All our Sponsors: https://businessof.tech/sponsors/ Do you want the show on your podcast app or the written versions of the stories?

In this episode of the Wise Decision Maker Show, Dr. Gleb Tsipursky speaks to Amy Loomis, Research Vice President, Future of Work at IDC, about the importance of addressing people's egos to overcome resistance to Gen AI.You can learn about IDC at https://www.idc.com/

In a conversation that sets the tone for this year's RSA Conference, Steve Wilson, shares a candid look at how AI is intersecting with cybersecurity in real and measurable ways. Wilson, who also leads the OWASP Top 10 for Large Language Models project and recently authored a book published by O'Reilly on the topic, brings a multi-layered perspective to a discussion that blends strategy, technology, and organizational behavior.Wilson's session title at RSA Conference—“Are the Machines Learning, or Are We?”—asks a timely question. Security teams are inundated with data, but without meaningful visibility—defined not just as seeing, but understanding and acting on what you see—confidence in defense capabilities may be misplaced. Wilson references a study conducted with IDC that highlights this very disconnect: organizations feel secure, yet admit they can't see enough of their environment to justify that confidence.This episode tackles one of the core paradoxes of AI in cybersecurity: it offers the promise of enhanced detection, speed, and insight, but only if applied thoughtfully. Generative AI and large language models (LLMs) aren't magical fixes, and they struggle with large datasets. But when layered atop refined systems like user and entity behavior analytics (UEBA), they can help junior analysts punch above their weight—or even automate early-stage investigations.Wilson doesn't stop at the tools. He zooms out to the business implications, where visibility, talent shortages, and tech complexity converge. He challenges security leaders to rethink what visibility truly means and to recognize the mounting noise problem. The industry is chasing 40% more CVEs year over year—an unsustainable growth curve that demands better signal-to-noise filtering.At its heart, the episode raises important strategic questions: Are businesses merely offloading thinking to machines? Or are they learning how to apply these technologies to think more clearly, act more decisively, and structure teams differently?Whether you're building a SOC strategy, rethinking tooling, or just navigating the AI hype cycle, this conversation with Steve Wilson offers grounded insights with real implications for today—and tomorrow.
