I will always advocate for legacy modernisation, especially in the face of new year, new system. This McKinsey report from last year article introduces two models for integrating AI into IT processes to streamline modernisation and minimise disruption: Factory Pattern means deploying autonomous gen AI agents for routine, predictable tasks like legacy code migration and log monitoring. Meanwhile, Artisan Pattern leverages gen AI tools to assist experienced software engineers in complex tasks requiring human judgment, such as enterprise technology cost management and optimisation. As expressed here, technology enables about 71% of the value derived from business transformations and the integration of gen AI can enable organisations to update legacy systems more efficiently and cost-effectively. #GenAI #modernization #legacymodernization

Proud to announce Amazon Web Services (AWS)'s partnership with the UK AI Security Institute Alignment Project focused on AI behaviour and control. We're committing £5 million in cloud computing credits to empower researchers working on one of tech's most critical challenges - ensuring AI systems behave predictably and align with human values. By joining forces with global partners including the Canadian AI Safety Institute, Anthropic, and leading academic institutions, we're helping build the infrastructure needed for safe and responsible AI development.

Customers will spend $163 BILLION via hyperscaler cloud marketplaces by 2030 with 60% through channel partners 🚀 Our updated forecasts for hyperscaler marketplaces have just dropped. This route to market is fundamentally transforming the ways SaaS is bought and sold. If you are buying or selling via the hyperscaler marketplaces, you need to speak to Canalys (part of Omdia). Get in touch. The sector is growing at a five-year CAGR of 29.1%, with the ability for customers to burn down their cloud commitments remains a critical driver. There is $468.8 billion committed across AWS, Microsoft Azure, and Google Cloud with nearly $30 billion of commitments were added in 2Q25 alone. The fastest growth over five years will happen outside North America: • EMEA: 33.1% • Asia Pacific: 36.3% • Latin America: 37.9% • North America: 23.2% The largest product categories in order of spend will be infrastructure software, DevOps, business applications, cybersecurity and AI/ML.
