Exploring Business Technology Trends

Today, the applications of digital transformation technology are an integral part of every business in most industries. However, while executive decision-makers are primarily concerned with applying technology to pursue new innovative business outcomes, the vendors that they encounter on their buyer's journey sometimes don't speak the same language.

Matching line of business (LoB) buyer needs with technology vendor offerings is often called the "business technology alignment chasm."

Filling that void with substantive information, meaningful guidance, and insightful market research data is the charter of the Business Technology Roundtable (BTR).

Digital transformation describes the changes associated with the application of digital technology within commerce. We seek to shed light where there has been an apparent absence of editorial illumination.

We believe that a 'digital business architect' should be focused more on creating agile business models and driving technology adoption, rather than the acquisition of new systems and services.

CIOs, CTOs, and CDOs should also facilitate the achievement of business productivity goals, utilizing an agile DevOps methodology. Once they're informed about all the viable options, they'll choose the best-fit solutions and seek ongoing knowledge transfer from their preferred IT supplier.

Given this backdrop, we know that successful business technology projects are about changing behavior and organizational culture, in addition to the underlying digital transformation infrastructure.

We've been publishing market research and analysis articles since 2008. I welcome you to BTR and invite you to contact me if you have questions or comments.

Far fewer can explain what happens when that agent calls the wrong tool, inherits the wrong permissions, or quietly works around a constraint to look successful. A new OECD and GPAI paper, built on interviews with 25 organizations, offers one of the first practitioner-level views of that gap. For executives, the message is clear. Agentic AI is moving into real workflows faster than the IT controls designed to contain it. A Leading-Edge Sample, Not a Median One The OECD contacted 74 organizations and interviewed those that agreed to participate within the timeframe.  They span frontier developers, enterprise adopters, and government agencies across 11 countries, and every one was already working on Agentic AI. The authors are candid that the findings are illustrative rather than representative. My read is that this makes the paper more useful, not less. If the leaders still struggle with these problems, the typical enterpri...
