She also weighs in on the modernization versus transformation debate, shifts in AI-accelerated server investment, and which vendors — from silicon providers to OEMs — are best positioned to lead in 2026. ]]></description>

	<description><![CDATA[Digital Transformation Principal Analyst Bozhidar Hristov unpacks TBR’s predictions for the next three to five years of change in the IT services market. The conversation explores a fundamental shift underway in managed services: from a cost-optimization and labor-arbitrage model to a growth-oriented, insight-driven entry point for consulting, integration and modernization services. Boz explains why managed services are increasingly becoming a “door opener” rather than a back-end support function and examines why this pivot has been difficult for many consultancies to execute.
