Eight Key IT Insights and Actions for 2025
1. Natural Language Reigns as the AI
Default
The next wave of AI will move beyond the boundaries of screens
and keyboards, focusing on more intuitive, voice-driven interfaces.
This will allow organizations to integrate conversational AI,
explore voice and gesture interfaces, and automate workflows using
natural language to enhance user experience and efficiency.
2. Shift to Smaller AI Models and Edge
Computing
Combined with edge computing, smaller, specialized AI models
often outperform larger models in business applications. This
approach reduces costs, improves latency, and enhances security by
processing data closer to its source, enabling faster and more
secure AI applications.
3. Strategic Hybrid Cloud Use Grows
Rising cloud costs are shifting focus back to hybrid approaches.
As such, we will see organizations evaluate cloud costs against
business value, determine which workloads belong on-premises versus
in the cloud, and develop clear migration criteria to optimize
resources and ensure compliance.
4. Post-Quantum Cryptography Emerges as
Indispensable
Quantum computing's potential to break current encryption
increases the urgency for quantum-safe practices. Companies will
need to adopt post-quantum cryptography standards, identify
vulnerable systems, and update encryption protocols to protect data
from future quantum threats.
5. Embrace Entry-Level Talent as AI
Adopters
Entry-level workers bring valuable digital fluency to AI
implementation while complementing experienced teams' business
knowledge. Organizations should prioritize hiring young talent,
offering AI training and creating mentorship programs to blend
fresh perspectives with seasoned expertise.
6. Three-Day Hybrid Work Model Becomes the
New Sweet Spot
A balanced three-day in-office schedule enhances productivity
and flexibility. Companies will strengthen remote engagement tools
to maximize efficiency and retention, design collaborative office
spaces, and support mental health and belonging for remote
workers.
7. Energy-Efficient AI Fuels Competitive
Advantage
Sustainable AI practices can differentiate companies and reduce
environmental impact. Companies should monitor AI energy usage,
adopt efficient architectures and consider alternative energy
sources to ease data center energy strain and improve performance
at lower costs.
8. AI Compliance Requires Localization
Diverse global data regulations push companies to adapt to
localized operations. Organizations will focus on establishing
governance frameworks, complying with regional data rules, and
providing clear AI usage guidelines to ensure compliance and
protect data integrity.
