Senior executives see AI adoption leading to job cuts, while workers say it will increase employment, according to a new survey published by the US National Bureau of Economic Research. Amid so much speculation about the impact of the new technology, NBER’s study is tantalizingly titled “Firm data on AI” — but the data, which…
AWS is recognizing that most developers don’t work the way Kiro, its Visual Studio Code–based agentic IDE, forces them too — so it’s adding two new software development workflows to Kiro that meet developers where they are: working on existing projects, fixing bugs. Kiro started out with a vision of helping developers through a process…
For many UK organisations, the move from on-premises VDI to the cloud feels inevitable. The drivers are well understood: cost pressure, ageing infrastructure, hybrid work, and the need for greater agility. Yet for all its promise, cloud migration still triggers hesitation, especially among risk-averse IT leaders responsible for security, performance, and continuity. That caution is…
Across UK organisations, the pressure on IT teams is no longer abstract. Skilled resources are limited, recruitment is slow, and experienced engineers are increasingly stretched across security, operations, and transformation initiatives at the same time. Yet expectations on IT have continued to increase. In this environment, time has become one of the most valuable assets…
For many UK IT leaders, “cloud-only” desktop strategies sounded like the inevitable destination just a few years ago. Azure Virtual Desktop (AVD), Windows 365, and other DaaS platforms promised simplified management, lower CAPEX, and agile access for users everywhere. But in the real world, a pure cloud-only model isn’t always achievable… at least not overnight.…
If the past few years have taught IT leaders anything, it’s that stability is no longer the default state. Work patterns shift quickly. Security threats evolve constantly. Business priorities change mid-year, not mid-decade. Against that backdrop, many organisations are re-examining a question that once felt settled: how future-ready is our desktop strategy, really? Future-proofing means…
For a long time, the total cost of ownership (TCO) debate between cloud desktops and on-premises VDI felt unresolved. On paper, on-premises environments looked cheaper once the infrastructure was “paid for.” Cloud DaaS promised flexibility, but sceptics questioned whether that flexibility justified ongoing consumption costs. That conversation has shifted decisively. Rising infrastructure costs, licensing complexity,…
For years, end-user computing (EUC) strategy felt like a balancing act between two imperfect options: continue extending on-premises desktops and legacy VDI, or commit to a cloud initiative that promised long-term value but short-term complexity. In 2026, that middle ground is disappearing. The desktop is being reset—not because IT leaders are chasing the next trend,…
AI is accelerating analytics at unprecedented speed. But organizations that mistake AI adoption for analytics capability development are discovering that technology alone does not scale into value. For CIOs, the real differentiator is not AI sophistication, but the strength of the analytics capability that governs how AI is embedded into purposeful decision-making. AI as the…
Most enterprises are not short on plans. They have strategic roadmaps, multi-year investment portfolios, annual operating plans and governance frameworks to create alignment and control. These plans are often thoughtful, analytically sound and approved with confidence. Yet when conditions change, those same organizations struggle. Projects stall. Priorities collide. Capacity tightens. Leadership teams revisit decisions not…
