      The technology and telecommunications industries are entering a phase of transformation in which the ability to implement technological innovations quickly, effectively, and at scale is critical.

      Our excerpt from the Global Tech Report for the technology and telecommunications industries shows that technology companies are setting the pace of transformation by driving artificial intelligence, cloud solutions, and digital platforms that are fundamentally changing value creation. Telecommunications companies, on the other hand, are creating the conditions that enable innovations to be implemented on a large scale: with high-performance networks and resilient infrastructure, they ensure the necessary connectivity and stability.

      Integrating Technology Solutions into Day-to-Day Work

      Both sectors are consistently investing in advanced technologies, thereby laying the foundation for future growth. The common challenge for companies in both industries: In the future, the primary focus will be on translating investments in complex operating environments into measurable results.

      Most tech and telecom companies have moved beyond the phase of technological experimentation. Now, the key is to integrate the new solutions into day-to-day operations, roll them out company-wide, and thereby create tangible benefits without compromising the company’s stability and resilience.

      Selected findings from our study:


      89 percent of respondents from the technology sector and 87 percent of respondents from the telecommunications industry consider themselves innovators.


      91 percent of executives in the telecommunications industry are investing in Agentic AI to enable integrated collaboration between people and digital agents in the workplace.


      Only about 10 percent of technology companies report that their AI investments are already generating a scalable return on investment (ROI).
