If you’ve ever felt late-summer sadness, you’re not alone. Perhaps it’s because days are getting shorter or you feel the impending sense of a return to dull routines. Mental health experts recommend getting outside as much as possible to boost Vitamin D intake and squeezing in that last beach read before Labor Day. You might […]

Over the last year, there has been a recurring theme in my client requests. Who makes the best AI upskilling content? What should I buy to upskill my workforce? What’s the fastest way to learn AI skills? At first, I responded by saying that the content market was evolving quickly, and I couldn’t give anyone […]

User interfaces and workflows built with agentic AI are emerging as the next frontier of digital experience tech’s evolution. For two decades, digital teams accelerated business results by implementing better software. Monolithic digital experience and content management solutions gave way to composable architectures that allowed digital teams to assemble specialized capabilities faster and create better […]

I’m a very inexperienced gardener. I’m lucky that the annuals in the yard I inherited from a previous green-thumbed owner are fairly hearty and thrive despite my lackluster efforts. But even I know that if I manage to nurture a seed into a seedling, I wouldn’t then start to measure success by how many bunnies […]

For years, B2B organizations have expanded their partner ecosystems by adding new partner types, routes to market, and strategic relationships. The result has been greater market reach, new growth opportunities, and increasingly complex partner ecosystems. A growing challenge for suppliers is establishing a clear, consistent, and effective definition of the partners within their partner ecosystem. […]

The 2026 installment of the customer identity and access management (CIAM) landscape report has just published. The report identifies three primary drivers in the CIAM landscape. AI agents are a new identity type in CIAM. In our research, we found that CIAM solutions are increasingly enabling organizations to: Properly manage inbound access of customers’ AI […]

OpenAI is on a quest, chasing down Anthropic’s Claude toolkit to be seen as the enterprise frontier model. Here’s the push-pull-partner strategy we see unfolding at OpenAI: Push. CEO Sam Altman pushed a vision for an AI-powered world out into the global dialogue. Investors, boards, and the media loved it. This strategy is alive and […]

Quantum computing has transitioned from theoretical curiosity into a phase of engineering reality. Vendors are showing real progress in solving scaling and error correction challenges. There are realistic roadmaps for shipping quantum computers that could deliver commercial value. But that value will be uneven, emerging in specific high-value problem classes and over different time horizons. […]

If you are one of those tech leaders in a company that already has an agentic architecture with swarms of agents delivering some value, and your challenge is determining how to optimize the cost and/or stitch these agents together across complex workflows, this blog may not be for you. But please read it if you […]

Outcome‑based pricing links a portion of provider fees to clearly defined measurable results rather than effort or time spent. For IT sustainability services, those outcomes are typically financial (cost reduction, efficiency gains) or environmental (carbon reduction, energy savings, audit‑ready compliance outputs). Unlike time‑and‑materials or fixed‑fee models, this approach shifts delivery risk to the provider and […]

This week on the CX Cast we dig into our archives to bring you an episode that’s stood the test of time. Fujitsu is a global B2B technology and services company, and Europe is its largest region outside of Japan. To double down on customer centricity, Fujitsu Europe focused on four success factors: Blending CX […]

Last year, Forrester introduced the concept of the AI-native cloud, as we observed that the cloud industry was moving beyond commodity infrastructure toward platforms that are purpose-built for generative AI (genAI) and agentic AI. We also identified two emerging paths in this transformation: AI infrastructure cloud platforms (neoclouds) and AI-centric neo-platforms as a service (neoPaaSes). […]

The Q4 2025 Forrester Wave™ evaluation for network analysis and visibility (NAV) solutions was the first iteration of the research to evaluate vendors on their post-quantum cryptography (PQC) capabilities, a decision that has become more pronounced in 2026. The rationale was compelling then; it is unavoidable now. Most notably, the US federal government has moved […]

AI is creating real value, but the biggest opportunities will go to organizations that build the right foundations first. Explore five no-regrets investments that can help technology leaders govern, scale, and realize value from AI regardless of how the technology evolves.

Back in May of this year, Anthropic announced changes to its pricing model. Its original fixed-fee, per-seat subscription model was replaced with one that separates platform access from AI consumption. Customers still pay for access, but usage is now metered and billed separately based on token consumption. Under the previous model, customers were split into […]

The Forrester Wave™: AI Platforms, Q3 2026 has just published, and if you’ve read previous evaluations in this category, prepare to recalibrate. Agentic AI has redrawn the boundaries of what an AI platform is, what it must do, and the vendors that compete to provide it. The 15 vendors evaluated represent one of the most […]

Black Hat 2026 generated more questions than it answered. Are we headed for a vulnerability apocalypse (aka vulnpocalypse), or are we clearing a backlog of flaws that AI can now find with ease? Can organizations patch fast enough? What should buyers expect from vendors when software can reason? Will AI be our undoing or our […]

AI-moderated interviews help teams gather qualitative insights at greater scale and speed. But to unlock their value, researchers must understand where AI excels and where human judgment remains essential.

Long before I joined Forrester, or even before I worked in cybersecurity, I volunteered with an informal group supporting my previous company’s security team. That experience stayed with me. It sparked my interest in cybersecurity and ultimately led me into the profession. Fast-forward to 2026, and I was thrilled to be asked to update our […]

The biggest takeaway from Snowflake Summit 2026 wasn’t another AI announcement; it was a fundamental shift in what enterprises should expect from a data platform for AI. The conversation has moved beyond building models and copilots to operationalizing agentic AI at scale. It requires more than AI infrastructure; it demands a lakehouse capable of delivering […]
