A clear, focused recap of the trends shaping your I&O strategy for the year ahead
The conversations at this year’s Gartner IT Infrastructure, Operations & Cloud Strategies Conference 2025 confirmed what many IT leaders already feel in their day to day work. Costs are rising. Complexity is accelerating. And visibility is becoming harder to maintain as AI adoption, SaaS growth, and hybrid infrastructures expand across the business.
In this 40 minute session, we’ll break down the themes that matter most for your IT, SAM, and procurement teams, and what these shifts mean for your roadmap.
Date: December 16
Time: 10 AM CET / 3 PM CET
What you’ll learn:
Managing unpredictable AI demand: Why AI driven services are creating new levels of financial and operational uncertainty — and what teams can do to regain visibility and control.
Staying ahead of shadow AI and informal adoption: How AI tools are entering environments faster than they can be tracked, and why clear oversight is becoming essential for cost, security, and governance.
The new pressure on cloud and SaaS spend: Why organizations are facing tougher renewals, rising subscription costs, and increasing vendor leverage — especially when visibility is incomplete.
Where automation is heading next: How teams are simplifying operations, reducing manual effort, and moving toward connected, more autonomous workflows.
Building resilience across hybrid environments: Why sovereignty, recovery, and consistent safeguards are becoming central to modern infrastructure planning.
How the role of I&O leadership is evolving: What these trends mean for skills, decision making, and the expectations placed on IT leaders in 2025 and beyond.
