Agentic AI Is Rewriting PaaS Decision-Making

Adam Reeves — Fri, 05 Jun 2026 04:00:00 GMT

Agentic AI is driving structural disruption in the PaaS market, with 80% of enterprise platform decision-makers reconsidering their portfolios as vendors converge on integrated architectures spanning development tooling, agent life-cycle management, governance, and data access. Developer enablement is a primary mechanism through which platform selection happens, with developers influencing 47% of cloud adoption and vendor selection spend. Enterprise IT leaders who govern developer toolchain adoption, assess governance depth, and require portability terms before committing will be better positioned than those who allow platform dependencies to accumulate by default.

"The worst outcome for enterprise IT is not choosing the wrong PaaS platform in the age of agentic AI. It is making no deliberate choice while dependencies accumulate by default," says Adam Reeves, research director, PaaS for Developers of Modern and Edge Applications, IDC.

IDC CIO Summit Türkiye 2026: Agentic Systems and the Next Chapter for Turkish CIO Leadership

Eren Eser, Melih Murat — Fri, 05 Jun 2026 04:00:00 GMT

This IDC Perspective summarizes the key themes and consequential implications from IDC's 17th CIO Summit Türkiye, held on May 6–7 2026 at Elite World Grand, Sapanca, Türkiye, under the banner "The Rise of Agentic Systems." The event brought together more than 400 CIOs, CTOs, and senior technology leaders to discuss AI-powered enterprise transformation. This document distills the most consequential themes, on-stage debates, and customer stories from the event.

"Türkiye now has the talent, the leadership, the case studies and, increasingly, the local infrastructure to compete at the leading edge of the agent economy. The 17th IDC CIO Summit Türkiye made clear that the Turkish CIO is ready to lead that conversation. The next move is to scale." — Eren Eser, associate research director, IDC's Global Services Insights

SaaS: Post Mortem or Rebirth

Frank Della Rosa — Fri, 05 Jun 2026 04:00:00 GMT

Despite high-profile claims of SaaS' demise and significant market volatility, the IDC Perspective argues that SaaS is undergoing structural transformation, not extinction. The rise of agentic AI is disrupting traditional SaaS models — especially seat-based pricing and workflow applications — but core enterprise platforms remain resilient due to deep integrations and data assets. The market is overestimating the speed and scale of disruption; SaaS will evolve, not disappear, as vendors adapt to new AI-driven paradigms.

"SaaS is not dead — it is being unbundled, rebundled, and redefined by agentic AI. The real question is which supplier adapts and thrives and which supplier vanishes?" says Frank Della Rosa, research vice president, SaaS, Platform Strategy and Ecosystems, IDC.

Cisco Isovalent Launches Networking for Virtualization Platform to Capture the Virtual Machine Migration Market

Paul Nicholson — Thu, 04 Jun 2026 04:00:00 GMT

Cisco has announced the general availability (GA) of Isovalent Networking for Virtualization (INV), providing enterprise IT teams with a supported path to migrate virtual machine (VM) workloads from existing platforms to OpenShift Virtualization and Kubernetes KubeVirt without disrupting network connectivity or security policies. For IT leaders managing infrastructure modernization, this is a meaningful addition to the Cisco portfolio: It addresses one of the most common blockers in VM-to-Kubernetes migration projects, backed by networking technology already trusted by the world's largest cloud providers. Launched at Cisco Live (June 2026), INV becomes the fourth pillar of the Isovalent Enterprise Platform and demonstrates that Cisco's networking capabilities now extend well beyond traditional hardware.

HPE 2Q26 Results: Two Years Ahead of Plan

Digital Twins 2026: Five Key Trends for Industrial Engineering and Operations

Jeffrey Hojlo, Jonathan Lang — Wed, 03 Jun 2026 04:00:00 GMT

This IDC Tech Buyer Presentation examines key technology and business trends impacting the evolution and development of digital twin strategies for industrial enterprises in 2026. Digital twin strategies continue to be an evolving architectural and business framework for developing and consuming data models pertaining to physical world products, assets, and processes. As data management, modeling, simulation, and other technology capabilities advance, the viability of true system-level digital twins advances along with them.

"With the big push to leverage AI, every industrial enterprise is looking for the right approach to compile data from multiple systems and improve user interactions and interfaces to drive data-driven decisions," says Jonathan Lang, research director, Worldwide IT/OT Convergence Strategies for IDC. "These principles of an intuitive graphical interface and dynamic data models combining simulation, real time, and other data are exactly what companies have hoped to achieve through digital twins for many years."
