The Future of Software Licensing: The Importance of an Optimal License Model in Divestitures
When a company spins off a business unit, the spotlight often shines on financials, operations, and IT infrastructure. Yet, hidden within the fine print of software contracts lies a strategic lever that can make or break the success of a divestiture: licensing. In today's rapidly evolving digital landscape, where hybrid cloud, SaaS, and AI-driven platforms reign supreme, software licensing has transcended its role as a mere compliance checkbox. It has become a critical enabler of agility, innovation, and cost control. However, many organizations still underestimate the complexity and opportunity embedded in licensing decisions during a carve-out or spin-off.

Beyond Automation: AI as the Catalyst for Connected Travel and Transport
The travel and transportation industry is at a pivotal moment. As global supply chains grow more complex and customer expectations rise, organizations must evolve beyond traditional models to remain competitive.

Intelligent Sourcing to Autonomous Sites: How AI is Redefining Construction
The engineering and construction (E&C) industry has historically lagged in digital adoption, ranking among the least digitized sectors globally. While industries such as manufacturing built robust digital backbones, construction remained anchored in legacy systems and labor-intensive practices. Avasant’s IT Spending Trends in Construction and Trade Services 2024 highlights that IT budgets in construction are not only smaller in proportion to revenue but also stretched thin across fragmented organizations and project-based models. For small and mid-sized contractors, the industry’s backbone, these constraints often limit investment in next-generation platforms.

Cybersecurity in the Era of Robotics
Recent advances in AI have led to the development of specialized robots that can perform tasks previously thought to be exclusive to humans, including visual perception, speech recognition, and decision-making. However, as the world prepares for a deluge of humanoids, the wide adoption of robots presents unique cybersecurity threats, from data interception to device hijacking. Many are due to a lack of native cybersecurity features in robotic equipment and related technologies, such as the IoT. Hence, to fully capitalize on the potential of robotics, government, industry, and academia are collaborating to strengthen security in every robotic development and deployment area.

The Illusion of AI Sovereignty: Washington and Beijing Still Pull the Strings
A new wave of digital nationalism is sweeping through public policy and enterprise boardrooms. Countries including France, Saudi Arabia, the UAE, Singapore, and India are doubling down on sovereign AI. They are investing in localized data ecosystems, region-specific LLMs, national AI clouds, and stricter compliance regimes. No nation today enjoys absolute, full-stack AI sovereignty. Rather than chasing total independence, the trend is toward layered sovereignty: choosing which parts of the stack to control, influence, outsource, or codevelop. The sovereign AI game is not binary; it is composable. In the coming decade, national AI strategies will be defined not by what a country builds alone but by what it chooses to own, protect, and shape on its own terms.
