Learn MoreThe intelligent automation services market in the U.S. and around the globe is undergoing dynamic changes driven by the integration of advanced technologies, a focus on hyperautomation, the shift towards cloudcentric
solutions, increased emphasis on security and compliance and a growing trend towards customer-centric offerings. IT service providers play a pivotal role in shaping and delivering these trends as they cater to
businesses’ evolving needs in an increasingly automated landscape.
Doing more by doing less means using artificial intelligence and related technologies to make financial planning and analysis organizations more productive. By eliminating low-value and unproductive work, AI enables FP&A teams to free up considerable time for more useful and consequential forecasting, planning, budgeting, analysis and reporting. AI isn’t some far-off capability.
In the last four quarters, enterprises marginally restricted their spend on cloud technologies and business models to bring innovation and value to their end users. They are benefiting from using cloud computing environments and leveraging cutting-edge technologies like AI, analytics and RPA, which are speeding the rate and pace of technological improvements and UX. Hybrid cloud has become the norm in the last few years, with private cloud having the lion’s share. With the growing demand for hybrid cloud solutions, IT infrastructure environments have become more complex and difficult to manage. Enterprises are now more open to outsourcing these operations to service providers that have significant expertise in managing hybrid cloud infrastructure for enterprises in multiple industries. Some of the key variables influencing outsourcing decisions are the integration and consolidation of data centers, server performance, virtualization, containerization, governance and compliance, downtime and data loss. ISG observed that due to inflation and several economic and political downturns, enterprises were seen spending less or holding or pushing their infrastructure transformation engagements to the next year. They are more cautious and strategic in their outsourcing decisions to manage their costs effectively in this volatile economic scenario. This is corroborated by our ISG Index numbers, present in the Introduction part of the report.
