In this episode, we discuss three key topics. First, we explore the decline in Europe's demand for IT and business services, with managed services down 2% and as-a-service dropping 8%. We also delve into the latest State of the Industry report from Information Services Group, which highlights declines in IT outsourcing and infrastructure as a service, while business process outsourcing and software as a service saw growth.
Next, we explore the convergence of networking and cybersecurity. According to Cato Network's 2023 SASE Adoption Survey, 82% of IT leaders worldwide are driving this convergence within their organizations. We discuss the implications of this trend and what it means for tech service providers.
Finally, we examine the future of work in chaos and the new trends that are emerging. We discuss how these trends affect not only tech service providers but also other industries. Additionally, we touch on the three pillars necessary for AI success.
