SolarWinds Reveals 2025 IT Trends on Operational Resilience
Home » Top stories » SolarWinds Reveals 2025 IT Trends on Operational Resilience SolarWinds, a provider of secure observability and IT management software, has released its 2025 IT Trends Report titled 'Fragile to Agile: The State of Operational Resilience.' The report surveyed over 200 IT professionals across the EMEA region. It revealed that while confidence in operational resilience is increasing, day-to-day challenges still consume significant resources. According to the findings, 89% of EMEA IT leaders consider their organisations resilient. However, only 34% describe themselves as very resilient. This indicates that the confidence may not reflect real-time operational readiness. The report also showed that 45% of EMEA IT leaders still spend a quarter of their workweek resolving critical issues and service disruptions. This points to a disconnect between perceived resilience and operational reality. Moreover, 35% of respondents identified cumbersome processes not technology as the biggest barrier to improved resilience. Half of the respondents blamed outdated processes during disruptions. 38% cited insufficient staffing as a key challenge. Abdul Rehman Tariq Butt, Regional Director – Middle East at SolarWinds, stated that despite rising digital transformation investments in the region, many organisations are still hindered by manual processes. He stressed that to remain competitive, IT teams must adopt streamlined workflows, modern tools, and skilled talent. A quarter of respondents reported allocating 21% to 30% of their IT budgets toward preventing disruptions. Cullen Childress, Chief Product Officer at SolarWinds, noted that operational resilience is now a strategic necessity. He added that achieving it requires more than technology organisations must empower IT teams with the right tools and workflows to become agile and responsive. The SolarWinds report underscores the need for resilience to be embedded in daily operations so IT can drive innovation and competitive advantage.

New Report: Canadian Businesses Brace for Cyber Threats and Budget Crunch While Rushing to Embrace AI Français
New data in NOVIPRO Group's 2025 IT Trends Report reveals a high-stake IT balancing act , May 14, 2025 /CNW/ - Canadian businesses are walking a technology tightrope in 2025 – juggling cyber threats, economic uncertainty, data privacy, and an accelerating race towards AI adoption. These are among the key findings in the newly released 2025 IT Trends Report from NOVIPRO Group and Léger, an annual benchmark report of how business across Canada are navigating the evolving IT landscape. The data, drawn from a survey of business decision makers across sectors and provinces, paints a picture of organizations under pressure – keen to modernize and stay competitive, yet often lacking the tools, budgets, skilled resources, or strategies to do so effectively. Key takeaways from this year's report include: AI investment reaches critical mass: A staggering 81% of Canadian businesses are planning significant technology investments in the next two years, with AI leading the way with almost 1 in 3 companies planning to invest in AI. Over half of these investments are driven by a clear objective: boosting productivity. Rising cyberattacks and a flat-footed response: Reports of cyberattack have hit a five-year high (30%), yet 28% of companies still don't train staff on cybersecurity, and just 27% carry cyber insurance. Costs vs. Security: For the first time, security and budget are neck-and-neck as the top challenge to Canadian businesses - forcing companies to rethink IT spending amid economic uncertainty even as cyber threats become more sophisticated. " This year's data shows Canadian companies are caught in a perfect storm - under pressure to innovate and secure their operations, but with fewer resources and rising external risks," says Alain Cormier, CEO of NOVIPRO Group. " AI, cloud, and cybersecurity are converging into a new kind of digital arms race - and companies need a plan."
