From Promise to Impact: Scaling Enterprise AI for Measurable Business Outcomes in the Middle East, Türkiye, and Africa

Melih Murat — Fri, 27 Mar 2026 04:00:00 GMT

IDC Directions Middle East, Türkiye, and Africa 2026 took place February 10 in Dubai. Technology suppliers were convened to discuss the key technology trends and predictions that will shape 2026 and beyond.

The event provided perspective on how organizations in the Middle East, Türkiye, and Africa (META) can move beyond experimentation toward enterprise-wide value creation. AI is widely recognized as strategic, but many organizations struggle with unrealistic expectations, siloed operations, fragmented tools, and limited skills. Critically, 60% of META organizations are not measuring the success of their AI initiatives, limiting their ability to scale effectively.

The session positioned agentic AI as the next phase of transformation, enabled by process automation, AI assistants, copilots, advisors, and intelligent agents. It emphasized that achieving meaningful ROI requires a platform-led approach to managing agent life cycle, governance, and interoperability at scale. The presentation concluded with practical guidance on prioritizing high-impact use cases and aligning AI investments with measurable business outcomes.

NTT DATA Horizons Innovation Summit and Analyst Forum: AI-First, Full-Stack Digital Services Transformation

Fri, 27 Mar 2026 04:00:00 GMT

This IDC Market Perspective provides IDC's views, learnings, perspectives, and advice from NTT DATA's Analyst Forum held February 5–6, 2026, in Frisco, Texas. It summarizes several keynote and presentation sessions where IDC heard from multiple speakers. The event started with keynotes from CEO Abhijit Dubey, who provided an overview session on NTT DATA and its AI strategy, and was complemented with a series of in-depth sessions led by NTT DATA executives and client representatives.

"AI is advancing fast and, in many cases, faster than enterprises can adapt. As enterprises grapple with the pace of technology change, IDC sees opportunities for service providers to help organizations transform and adopt AI. While opportunities will likely emerge and potential for new services growth is high, IDC sees disruption affecting how service providers will deliver as well as how they'll need to adapt. Providers will not only need to devise ways to harness and operationalize AI to enhance productivity but also do so without sacrificing growth at the expense of traditional services," explains Pete Marston, senior research director, Worldwide Intelligent Application Services at IDC.

From Modality Shift to Security Urgency: Google Signals a New Phase in Quantum Computing

Heather West, PhD, Phil Goodwin — Thu, 26 Mar 2026 04:00:00 GMT

Google's simultaneous expansion into neutral atom quantum computing and its call for post-quantum cryptography (PQC) migration by 2029 suggest that the company is no longer planning for distant quantum disruption, but actively preparing for compressed timelines and faster paths to scale. This dual signal points to a potential inflection point where breakthroughs in hardware and error correction could accelerate the arrival of quantum-driven cybersecurity risks, forcing both vendors and enterprises to act sooner than anticipated. Organizations that fail to heed this accelerated timeline for post-quantum readiness place themselves at significant additional risk from quantum-enhanced cyberattack.
