SHIFT REFLECTS ADOPTION OF AI ACROSS ENTERPRISE CLIENTS
ACQUISITION ACTIVITY IN the IT services sector is gathering pace as companies are moving rapidly to strengthen their artificial intelligence (AI) capabilities, and therefore opting to buy niche specialists rather than rely on slower in-house development cycles.
According to analysts, the shift reflects the speed at which AI adoption is unfolding across enterprise clients. With use cases evolving faster than traditional software development timelines, IT services firms are finding it more efficient to acquire focused AI, data and analytics players that can be integrated quickly into existing offerings. The targets, for now, are largely smaller specialist firms with deep capabilities in specific domains.
