• The $100K H-1B Challenge: Strategic Pathways for the Tech Industry

  The US administration’s new $100,000 H-1B fee marks a dramatic shift in immigration and foreign-worker policy, aiming to protect domestic wages and generate revenue. While Big Tech may absorb the cost for strategic hires, volume-dependent IT service firms face a potential $1B annual hit, prompting increased offshoring, nearshore expansion, and accelerated AI adoption. Worker shortages may hit healthcare and other critical sectors, while global competition for talent intensifies.

• European CIOs Making Investments for the Future

  Despite nearby conflicts and lower budget increases than their North American colleagues, European CIOs are making strong investments toward a more resilient, flexible, and revenue-generating IT department. Median budget increases in Europe are only 2.0% at the median compared to 3.0% in our main study, but it is perhaps more important to see what CIOs are investing in than how much their budgets are growing. This Research Byte is a brief description of some of the findings in our European IT Spending and Staffing Benchmarks 2025/2026 study.

• Improving Cost Control through AI and Automation and Workforce Management Strategies

  With rising challenges, such as increasing staffing costs, medical supplies costs, and rising underpayments, healthcare providers are streamlining administrative and workflow processes, enhancing the supplier/payor relationship, and deploying workforce management strategies to keep operational expenses in RCM operations under control. They are also prioritizing process automation, EHR system upgrades, patient payment models, and AI solutions to enhance revenue cycle management (RCM) operations. Service providers are utilizing generative AI-based solutions to improve efficiency across routine processes in the RCM operations, including denial management, prior authorization, and appeal generation. Both demand-side and supply-side trends are covered in our Revenue Cycle Management (RCM) Business Process Transformation 2025 Market Insights™ and Revenue Cycle Management (RCM) Business Process Transformation 2025 RadarView™, respectively.

• Driving Excellence in Clinical Data Management: Integrating AI, RBQM, and Global Data Ecosystems

  Clinical data management (CDM) is evolving from manual, siloed processes to intelligent, automated, and patient-centric data pipelines. Decentralized trial models and integration of real-world data sources, —such as wearables, eSource,, and electronic health records, are enabling richer datasets and improving patient recruitment and retention. Advanced technologies, including AI-driven automation and risk-based quality management (RBQM), streamline validation, query handling, and anomaly detection, reducing manual effort and accelerating study timelines. Cloud-native enterprise platforms consolidate systems and support interoperability across trial ecosystems. Regulatory compliance remains central, with rapid SDTM/ADaM conversions and adherence to global standards (21 CFR Part 11, GCP, and CDISC). To address sponsor demand for scalability and auditability, providers are expanding global delivery networks and strengthening capabilities through partnerships and acquisitions. Both demand- and supply-side trends are covered in Clinical Data Management Business Process Transformation 2025 Market Insights™ and Clinical Data Management Business Process Transformation 2025 RadarView™, respectively.
