IDC Survey Spotlight: Why Are Asia/Pacific Organizations Overspending on Cloud Services?

Daphne Chung — Tue, 09 Jun 2026 04:00:00 GMT

This IDC Survey Spotlight reveals that the top driver of cloud overspending among Asia/Pacific (excluding Japan) organizations is overprovisioning and wrong sizing of workloads, while security and compliance costs and the lack of FinOps maturity follow closely as leading contributors. The findings highlight where technology vendors should focus on helping customers regain cost control. The data is from IDC's 2025 Asia/Pacific Cloud Survey.

Taken together, these announcements indicate that Workday is making a deliberate, and increasingly credible, effort to reposition itself as an enterprise platform for developers rather than a proprietary developer ecosystem, with security and governance as the primary differentiators.

AI超级周期下，腾讯云正把Agent从AI工具推向企业智能生产力运营管理体系

Lianfeng Wu — Fri, 05 Jun 2026 04:00:00 GMT

本IDC市场笔记以2026腾讯云AI产业应用大会为切入点，首先引入IDC“AI超级周期”概念，指出AI正在同步重构基础设施、企业应用、软件服务模式、终端形态和组织能力，企业AI竞争正从“部署大模型”转向“运营智能生产力”。其次，围绕腾讯云提出的“场景连接力、工程驾驭力、模型驱动力”三力框架，系统梳理WorkBuddy企业版、CodeBuddy、ADP 4.0、Agent Runtime、Agentic知识中台、Agent安全方案、TokenHub、混元模型及行业智能体等产品与方案。第三，通过叮当快药、北京广播电视台、海尔智家、伊利的案例，总结Agent在医药零售、传媒广电、消费电子与智能制造、快消行业中的不同落地路径。最后，从IDC视角提出五个判断：AI超级周期进入产业应用深水区，企业应用走向代理式工作系统，工程化决定Agent规模化，Token运营成为AI ROI新抓手，腾讯云机会来自入口生态、云底座和行业共建能力的叠加。

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.

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.
