89% of six thousand directors say that AI yields nothing for their organization. That's true — but it explains nothing. The same directors do expect results in three years. This paper explains why that gap exists, and what the 10% that are already achieving results are doing fundamentally differently.
Software vendors raise prices due to AI modules, often based on the same language models. This leads to higher costs and fragmentation. Cross-application AI platforms offer a cheaper, smarter and more future-proof alternative that consolidates functions and centrally secures knowledge.
Many organizations want to get started with AI, but find starting difficult due to questions about data, cost, risk and value. This article shows how to make AI your own: start at work, create frameworks, build trust with transparency and human review, and take privacy seriously. Small steps make AI practical, reliable and more meaningful.
Services-as-Software (SaS), a term coined by Phil Fersht of HFS Research, is the shift from people-heavy projects and static software to AI-driven, outcome-focused services delivered like software. SaS is projected to become a $1.5T market by 2035 as software and services converge, reshaping how IT/BPO providers and advisory firms deliver value. It creates existential risk for "hours factories," but also the biggest growth opportunity in a generation for firms that productize their expertise, embrace agentic AI, and move to scalable, subscription and outcome-based models.
