IDC META Directions 2026: Business Reinvention in the Age of AI — Transforming Services for the Agentic Future

Mon, 09 Feb 2026 05:00:00 GMT

The IDC Market Presentation explores the accelerating growth of IT and business services in the META region, driven by organizations’ urgent need for business reinvention. With market opportunities projected to rise sharply by 2029, the fastest growth and most significant opportunities are in BFSI, public sector, energy, and retail, underpinned by technologies such as AI, cloud, and security. IDC research finds that most organizations recognize reinvention as critical for survival, yet many are only in the early stages of transformation.

Key drivers for reinvention include technology advancement, changing customer expectations, and competitive pressure, with success hinging on AI adoption, executive support, and regulatory insight. This presentation highlights the evolution from traditional automation to agentic AI, which enables autonomous, value-driven services and redefines client engagement. Service providers must modernize their portfolios — focusing on multicloud, cybersecurity, and AI/ML deployment — while building robust AI foundations to deliver speed, trust, and integration.

As pricing models shift from effort-based to outcome-based, providers must demonstrate measurable business impact, data security, and governed integration. The agentic services playbook calls on providers to predict opportunities, measure value, and manage transformation across five maturity phases, from exploration to agentic-as-a-service. Success in the agentic era demands that providers become master systems integrators, orchestrating transformation and delivering outcomes at scale.

“Service providers that embrace agentic services are redefining the future of IT delivery. By transforming their business models, investing in AI-driven innovation, and focusing on measurable outcomes, they move beyond traditional constraints to deliver scalable, secure, and client-centric value. The agentic era demands not just technology adoption, but also a fundamental shift in how providers orchestrate transformation, monetize expertise, and build trust. Those that lead this evolution will set the benchmark for business reinvention and long-term success in the META region,” said Eric Samuel, associate research director, Services, IDC Middle East, Türkiye, and Africa.

CoreWeave ARENA and the Shift Toward Production-Ready AI Labs

Dave McCarthy — Thu, 05 Feb 2026 05:00:00 GMT

As the AI industry transitions from the era of experimental "sandbox" research to large-scale commercial deployment, a critical friction point has emerged: the discrepancy between synthetic benchmarks and real-world production performance. CoreWeave's announcement of CoreWeave ARENA (AI-Ready Native Applications) represents a strategic shift in the cloud infrastructure market.

ARENA is a production-ready AI lab designed to provide "evidence before production." By mirroring live settings, including complex orchestration, high-throughput storage, and InfiniBand networking, ARENA allows enterprises to validate workload performance and cost certainty before committing to massive infrastructure investments.

Shannon Kalvar, Filippo Vanara — Thu, 05 Feb 2026 05:00:00 GMT

This IDC Market Perspective discusses the five key trends for enterprise client computing platforms in 2026. While AI is disrupting this space, organizations must also examine other emerging trends to stay competitive. This document is also an update to a previous report titled Five Key Trends in 2025 for Enterprise Client Computing Platforms (IDC #US53121325, January 2025).

"Enterprise client computing platforms are rapidly evolving from device-centric tools into intelligent, cloud-first, and policy-driven platforms. Suppliers that embed AI and agentic AI, support sovereign and secure-by-design architectures, and simplify hybrid delivery models will be best positioned to capture growth as work, data, and regulation continue to become decentralized," said Filippo Vanara, senior research analyst, IDC Worldwide Enterprise Client Computing Platforms.

IDC FutureScape: Worldwide Services 2026 Predictions — Canada Implications

Sreenivas Duvvuri Venkata, Jason Bremner — Thu, 05 Feb 2026 05:00:00 GMT

This IDC FutureScape provides IDC's top 10 predictions for worldwide services and implications for Canada for 2026–2031. This year's predictions for Canada are influenced strongly by the impact of agentic AI, with a focus on scaling AI use across the organization.

IDC's December 2025 Canada IT Decision Makers Survey indicates that 78% Canadian organizations are increasing IT spending on external services in 2026. Among primary reasons for that increase are investments made into innovative technologies and prioritization of technology as an enabler of growth. AI services are expected to receive a lion's share of the increment, in addition to security services. As organizations plan for greater use of agentic AI, across initiatives including application modernization and business functions like product R&D or customer service, controlling challenges such as agent sprawl is critical to the sustainability of investments. IDC expects partners such as cloud providers and systems integration and IT consulting vendors to play a critical role in helping Canadian organizations navigate this journey.

"Emerging frontier models and agentic solutions are making services-as-a-product models a lucrative reality. Its impact extends far beyond technology, affecting ways of working and business culture at its core," says Sreenivas Duvvuri Venkata, research analyst, Enterprise Services at IDC. "Grappling with change across the board, Canadian leaders will require to take a closer look at their internal operations, technology stack, and outsourcing footprint to remain relevant in the current business landscape."
