The Challenge of Modernization: Why 2025 is a Key Year
In a context of uncertainty, IT modernization—driven by cloud, generative AI, and process mining—is becoming the key to agility, performance, and resilience in 2025. An article on Informatique France by Jean-Roland Brisard discusses why 2025 is a key year for businesses, especially in France. Economic uncertainty is forcing companies to rethink how they operate. Many are shifting toward a model called servitization, where they offer services alongside their physical products. This helps generate new revenue and supports sustainability. For example, manufacturers might offer maintenance or repair services for their products. This aligns with new European laws like the right to repair directive. These changes push companies to be more environmentally responsible. To stay competitive, businesses must also modernize their IT systems. Moving to the cloud and using generative AI are essential steps. These technologies improve productivity, flexibility, and innovation. Companies like Michelin are already seeing benefits from this shift. Cloud-based platforms make it easier to access data and collaborate. Generative AI can help automate tasks and create new solutions quickly. Modern tools also help companies respond faster to market changes. 2025 is a turning point because the pace of change is accelerating. Companies that don’t adapt risk falling behind. Leaders must act now to update their infrastructure and rethink their strategies. It’s not just about technology—it’s about staying relevant. In short, modernization is no longer optional. It’s a strategic move to survive and thrive in the future. Businesses that embrace this shift in 2025 will be better prepared for the challenges ahead.
