Federal IT Spending Poised for Another Strong Year in Fiscal 2025
The new federal fiscal year began with a continuing resolution (CR) that extended government funding until Dec. 20, when a subsequent CR was enacted to fund federal operations until March 14, 2025.

B2B Strategic Advantage: Ecosystem Intelligence
Vendor consolidation and enterprise optimization of existing digital stacks have compelled IT services companies and consultancies as well as their ecosystem partners to think strategically about who to partner with and how to secure and expand their position within the ecosystem. As a result, aligning business priorities with alliance partners will allow IT services companies and consultancies to develop a more empathetic approach to technology-fatigued buyers. Additionally, understanding pricing and commercial structures backed by common knowledge management programs will elevate the value of joint services and appeal to enterprise buyers’ appreciation of a separation of labor, supported by greater transparency and accountability.

Infosys’ Future: Scaling GenAI and SLM Innovation to Drive Growth and Stakeholder Trust
Developing a client-ready AI-first portfolio is not a strategy unique to Infosys, but keeping pace with the rapidly evolving generative AI (GenAI) market highlights the company’s appetite for innovation and helps it strengthen stakeholder trust. Over the past 24 months, a large portion of vendor-client discussions focused on experimenting with developing and running large language models (LLMs), often fed with either public or nonessential data. Growing adoption of the technology has introduced the need for developing SLMs that are either function or industry specific.
