Forrester’s Technology & Security Predictions 2025: Tech Leaders Will Triple The Adoption Of AIOps To Reduce Technical Debt
To stem the tsunami of technical debt, in 2025, tech leaders will triple the adoption of AI for IT operations (AIOps) platforms, which deliver contextually aware data to enhance human judgment, automatically remediate incidents, and improve business outcomes. While AIOps is the future, IT leaders aiming to run a high-performance IT organization will also need to invest in building the right culture, data, architecture, and security practices to accelerate business growth.
Forrester’s technology and security predictions analyze the dynamics and emerging trends to watch for in the year ahead. These insights help leaders and their teams prepare for future challenges and take advantage of new opportunities to thrive in 2025. Topics include: artificial intelligence; automation; tech leadership; cloud computing; tech infrastructure and operations; enterprise software; software development; and cybersecurity, risk, and privacy.
Highlights from Forrester’s 2025 technology and security predictions include the following:
-
Private cloud will gain momentum with
VMWare alternatives. In 2025, most major public cloud providers will increase investments in private cloud, but it’s unlikely that newcomers will increase business with dominant private cloud playerVMware given recent bundling and pricing changes.
-
Most enterprises fixated on
AI ROI will scale back prematurely. Leaders are realizing that ROI from AI investments will take longer than they anticipated. Impatience withAI ROI could prompt enterprises to prematurely scale back investments, which would be a long-term disadvantage.
-
The
European Union will fine a generative AI provider for the first time under the EU AI Act. With the EU AI Office and data protection authorities joining forces, a general-purpose AI (GPAI) model’s provider will receive the first fine for violating the EU AI Act in 2025. As with the General Data Protection Regulation, the EU AI Act applies to entities that operate in the EU as well as those that supply AI systems or GPAI models to the EU, regardless of where they’re headquartered.
“In 2024, technology and security leaders ran pilots across their enterprises to explore innovative applications of AI,” said
