How are IT leaders adapting to new tariffs and growing economic uncertainty? Our latest IT Buyer Pulse Check – based on feedback from over 300 senior technology decision-makers across North America and Europe – highlights four major shifts: 1️⃣ Cost control is now the number 1 priority for IT leaders, rivalling growth as CIOs look to balance efficiency with expansion 2️⃣ IT budgets are still growing, but at a slower pace—companies are becoming more selective about where they invest 3️⃣ Spending on AI and machine learning remains strong, especially among digital leaders 4️⃣ Companies are consolidating tech suppliers across most areas—except in AI, where many are expanding partnerships to build new capabilities The takeaway: IT leaders are focused on protecting their most critical investments today, while strengthening cost discipline amid turbulent times.

Our latest survey of professionals in law, finance, and tax/accounting reveals that ~40% expect GenAI usage to grow, especially for creative and analytical work.

⏰ No time wasted In a BCG survey of 300 professionals in Law, Finance, and Tax & Accounting; 100% of respondents indicated that they had saved time with GenAI. Our findings indicate that specialized tools perform substantially better than general GenAI on nearly every dimension—not only time savings but also accuracy, richness of insights, scope, and usefulness of output.
