As 2025 approaches, technology leaders face a pressing question: “Where’s the return on investment for our existing IT spend?” Over recent years, companies have heavily invested in cloud, SaaS, and AI solutions, yet many are still struggling to capture their full potential. This challenge is fueling a more cautious approach to budgeting, with a focus on cost efficiency and maximizing the value of past investments.
Despite this caution, optimism persists: According to a Forrester survey, 91% of global technology decision-makers plan to increase IT spending, with over half expecting growth to surpass 5% — outpacing inflation. Forrester forecasts that the digital economy will grow at a 6.9% CAGR from 2023 to 2028, and AI enthusiasm remains strong, albeit tempered by a shift to pragmatic delivery. Naturally, these increases come with high expectations for enhanced operational value.
To help tech leaders navigate these challenges, here is a look at three of the predictions that we think show what is in store for technology leaders in 2025:Many companies are committing to large-scale transformations, but delivery is painfully slow. Financial results from service giants like Accenture and Capgemini show that bookings for large deals are up, yet many digital transformations stall due to the complexity of coordinating with business, operations, HR, and IT leaders.
