By 2028, 60% of supply chain digital adoption efforts will fail to deliver promised value due to insufficient investment in learning and development, according to Gartner, Inc.

According to the Worldwide Security Spending Guide published by International Data Corporation (IDC), European security spending is projected to grow by 11.8% year on year in 2025. Geopolitical developments, the intensification of cybercrime activity, and a tightening regulatory environment are driving organizations in Europe to adopt increasingly sophisticated defensive measures. Security spending is expected to remain robust throughout the forecast period, reaching nearly $97 billion by 2028.

A growing number of insurers are deploying the Guidewire Cloud core platform as existing users migrate from on-premises implementations and new customers adopt the platform, according to a new research report published today by Information Services Group (ISG) (Nasdaq: III), a global AI-centered technology research and advisory firm.

As generative AI evolves into agentic AI, automation becomes more sophisticated, and emerging technologies shift to large-scale deployment, firms will no longer be experimenting with AI by the end of 2025 — they will be racing to keep up with AI’s acceleration. However, given ongoing geopolitical volatility, making the right technology investment decisions will be a key lever for business growth and competitive advantage. Forrester’s research, The Top 10 Emerging Technologies In 2025, highlights new technologies that empower leaders to drive AI-led innovation while ensuring long-term resilience.

Eighty-five percent of CEOs say cybersecurity is critical for business growth, according to a survey by Gartner, Inc. The Gartner CEO and Senior Business Executive Survey of 456 CEOs and other senior business executives worldwide was conducted in 2024.

According to the IDC Worldwide ICT Spending Guide Enterprise and SMB by Industry, businesses are prioritizing investments that deliver tangible ROI and build resilience against future uncertainties. The overall ICT spending in the ASEAN market is projected to reach USD $171 billion in 2025, with a CAGR of 5.8% through 2028. Businesses in this region are refining their technology strategies to adapt to the current economic landscape.

More than half of enterprises say AI governance is a major concern that, if not addressed, could limit the deployment and potential value of large language models (LLMs) through 2027, according to research from global AI-centered technology research and advisory firm Information Services Group (ISG) (Nasdaq: III).

By 2028, 25% of organizations will augment existing secure remote access and endpoint security tools by deploying at least one secure enterprise browser technology to address specific gaps, according to Gartner, Inc.

Threat actors frequently target employees with phishing attacks to steal credentials and bypass endpoint detection and response controls, necessitating an additional layer of visibility and control within the web browser.

In today’s serverless, hybrid, and cloud-native enterprise environment, the traditional focus on perimeter and endpoint security is rapidly becoming outdated. As data moves freely across SaaS platforms, multi-cloud architectures, and decentralized workforces, data must become the core of the enterprise security model, according to Karthik Krishnan, CEO and founder of Concentric AI, in a BizTechReports executive vidcast interview.

The 2025 ISG Provider Lens Microsoft AI and Cloud Ecosystem report for Australia finds that technology spending in the country is poised for faster growth after several years of caution amid macroeconomic uncertainty. Enterprises are expected to invest mainly in cybersecurity, cloud-enabled digital transformation and infrastructure modernization, including replacement of Windows 10 hardware. At the same time, Australian enterprises are turning to Microsoft-aligned solutions to address cyber risks and aging infrastructure and realize greater return on digital investments.

As enterprises accelerate digital transformation, IT leaders are confronting a stark reality: the old rules no longer apply. The traditional debate about “build vs. buy” has collapsed under the weight of complexity, speed, and scale. CIOs today must now manage hybrid ecosystems composed of SaaS platforms, legacy systems, custom apps, and rapidly evolving AI technologies.

In this vidcast interview with BizTechReports, Tiago Azevedo, CIO of a leading global software company, explains how integration, not ownership, has emerged as the new core competency.

The ISG Buyers Guides for Field Service Management, produced by ISG Software Research, find a growing number of companies are adopting AI and ML in field service management (FSM) to optimize operations, improve customer experience and forecast maintenance needs. This trend aligns with a broader shift from reactive to proactive service delivery, which can help companies better engage with customers and meet their demands for speed and reliability.

According to preliminary data from the International Data Corporation (IDC) Worldwide Quarterly Mobile Phone Tracker, China's smartphone market shipped 71.6 million units in 1Q25, a 3.3% year-on-year increase. This growth was driven by the government subsidies that extended to smartphones in 2025, as well as the peak sales season of the Spring Festival. The market outperformed the global growth of 1.5% but came below IDC’s projections as the effect of the government subsidies on bolstering existing consumer demand appeared to be modest.

PC shipments during the first quarter of 2025 grew 4.9% from the prior year, with global volumes reaching 63.2 million shipments, according to preliminary results from the International Data Corporation (IDC) Worldwide Quarterly Personal Computing Device Tracker. Looking ahead to 2025, the PC industry has several tailwinds and headwinds, which make for a challenging outlook and difficult demand planning.

Facing cost pressures, skills shortages and increasing regulation, European enterprises are leveraging service providers to modernize their mainframes and integrate them with cloud platforms to drive AI innovation, according to a new research report published today by Information Services Group (ISG) , a global AI-centered technology research and advisory firm.

The DVB Project, known for its leadership in establishing technical standards for digital television, is once again pushing the boundaries of video technology with the integration of Versatile Video Coding (VVC) into its framework.

Financial trading floors are built on speed, but many firms are relying on outdated video technology that may be costing them millions.

As markets move in fractions of a second, legacy video systems introduce costly delays, limit access to critical data, and complicate compliance with financial regulations. Experts say modern internet protocol (IP) video solutions offer a way forward, enabling real-time decision-making, improved transparency, and scalable global operations.

Finance leaders are focused on AI-enabled technology solutions and intelligent process automation to align their finance technology investments with broader business goals to enhance speed, agility, and competitive advantage, according to Gartner, Inc.

Enterprises in the U.S. are investing in new technologies and services from the Salesforce ecosystem as they navigate the rapid evolution of AI and explore its potential for their operations, according to a new research report published today by Information Services Group (ISG) , a global AI-centered technology research and advisory firm.

In today’s hyper-hybrid enterprise environments, where SaaS applications dominate and generative AI accelerates innovation, the traditional "build vs. buy" debate no longer makes sense. Instead, leaders must reexamine how well their organizations blend applications that are built internally, purchased and customized, and consumed as SaaS offerings in the cloud. While an overwhelming majority of organizations now use SaaS applications to run hundreds of enterprise applications across departments, it is also true that these functions coexist with a broad array of critical software operating on private cloud, on-prem, and colocation resources.

So says Tiago Azevedo, Chief Information Officer of OutSystems, in a recent vidcast interview that explored how the emergence of low-code development platforms and the acceleration of generative AI are reshaping the way organizations modernize their IT architectures.
