A global recovery driven by artificial intelligence
According to the latest forecasts by Gartner, global IT spending is expected to grow by +8% in 2025, reaching 5,060 billion dollars. After a period of caution, companies are massively reinvesting, particularly in digital infrastructures that can support generative artificial intelligence.
This wave of investment concerns both business software and underlying IT infrastructures, in a context where speed, resilience, and automation are becoming critical.
CIOs are reallocating their budgets toward more agile and scalable environments, capable of handling AI, big data, or process automation workloads.
AI is driving a rethink of IT infrastructures
The acceleration of AI adoption is forcing a redesign of IT architectures : processing capacity, fast access to data, 24/7 availability, etc.
Traditional systems are reaching their technical limits, pushing companies to migrate toward virtualized, hybrid, or containerized environments, compatible with intensive workflows.
According to IDC, 73% of large enterprises plan to adapt their cloud infrastructures to integrate AI capabilities within the next two years.
Flexibility is becoming a structural requirement, as is interoperability with analytics tools, DevOps pipelines, or AI-powered content generation engines.
Governance, cost, and security : complex trade-offs
The increase in IT budgets goes hand-in-hand with growing expectations in terms of ROI, governance, and security. The integration of new technologies like AI brings sensitive challenges :
- Proliferation of sensitive data
- Multiplication of entry points into the IS
- Legal uncertainty around AI models
To address this, CIOs are strengthening their network architecture, implementing sovereign or private clouds, and demanding guarantees for regulatory compliance (GDPR, HDS, etc.).
Companies are seeking partners who can combine technological expertise, strategic support, and data sovereignty.
