We've all read about the potential AI holds for organisations across the business landscape. But is your business ready?

"More than four in 10 IT leaders surveyed globally (42%) believe their existing IT infrastructure is not fully prepared for the demands of artificial intelligence (AI) technology, despite its widespread adoption across industries."

Survey shows while 85% of global businesses pursue the benefits of AI, building the infrastructure to support it remains a priority.

Think digital transformation is solely an exercise in deploying new tech? Think again.

This piece from Financier Worldwide offers valuable insights about the relationship between employees and the technology they work with - insights worth reading for any business making significant changes to their ways of working, not just those in the financial services sector.

“Change initiatives can be challenging as people are used to a certain way of doing things and fear the unknown. This is especially true when the pace at which technology is evolving is dizzying.”

Of course, you need the right tech for digital transformation success - but you also need employee buy-in, good communications, and strong collaboration.



Conceptualising what the workplace of tomorrow will look like is a regular pastime among futurists. Such projections are continually reframed by rapidly advancing technologies and turbocharged by the pandemic-driven digital transformation of working practices in recent years.

Are you wondering whether now is the time to tackle your legacy systems? Are you waiting for them to actually break first?

Systems don't have to be broken to kneecap operational performance, undermine resiliency & create security risks. All they have to be is outdated.

And this isn't a problem in one or two sectors. From retail to healthcare, charities to professional and financial services, organisations face a daunting legacy system challenge, and no one can afford to take a 'if it ain't broke don't fix it' approach.

"Can the smaller consultancies compete with the bigger firms? Absolutely, if they have the right core infrastructure and next-generation technologies to reinforce their specialist competitive advantage."

If you're in the professional services sector and looking to take advantage of opportunities that the downsizing of the big firms presents, you'll need the right tech stack - one that does its job while letting you get on with yours, one that supports your business and doesn't get in the way.

And if that's what you need, you also need a technology partner who takes the time to really understand what your business does, what your clients want, and what you need to do to grow.

We do that. Ready to start? We're ready to help.



With growth slowing across the professional services sector, many large firms have found themselves downsizing their headcount while scrambling to preserve their profit margins.

According to the latest Charity Digital Skills Report, the vast majority of charities agree that AI is relevant to their organisation and has the ability to transform it.

However, "73% of those polled said they did not feel prepared to respond to the opportunities and challenges the technology brings, and 48% said they were worried about the consequences of AI."

That's a lot of uncertainty across the nonprofit landscape. And with so much coverage of AI focused on commercial applications, it's not always easy for charitable organisations to find information and examples of how it is being used in their own sector.

So, it's great to see real-world examples of how some of the best-known charities in the UK are navigating these opportunities and challenges.



We explore the charities leading the way in using AI to deliver their services, and highlight some key steps every charity should take before embracing the technology

"... sustainability has historically been widely viewed as an afterthought to any given process, not just in IT. It needs to be more integrated than that. In the IT sector, sustainability must be built into processes and systems from the start."

Yes, technology is central to reaching sustainability goals, but you need a sustainable technology strategy as well. One that delivers greener operations to ensure your technology solutions aren't pushing those goals further out of reach.

"The report found that not only is artificial intelligence expected to be one of the biggest drivers of professional change over the next five years, with 67% saying AI will have a transformational or high impact, but many said they believe that change will have a positive effect on their own careers."

Not surprisingly, the first takeaway is productivity increasing as many manual tasks are automated.

But our attention was caught by the second takeaway - 'the new value exchange' that will allow professionals to focus on providing higher-level advice." It aligns very much with our view of the tech stack's role - doing its job while you get on with yours.

AI and broader digital transformation discussions are well underway across the professional services sector. If your firm is ready to get started, we're ready to help.

"A modernization initiative has to happen before there’s a significant breakdown and/or security issue, and it needs to be carefully planned to minimize, as far as possible, productivity disruptions for users."

Systems don't have to be broken to be a problem, just outdated. Outdated systems cost money, slow down productivity, create data silos and create security risks.

As a business grows and evolves, it’s highly likely that the technology powering it will become obsolete or no longer sufficient for its needs.

"There are also numerous advantages for clients such as better expense management, automated bookkeeping and immediate insight into how their business is performing.

But are clients ready for this revolution?"

This article, from Accountancy Age brings up a point relevant for most businesses across the professional services sector - client buy-in.

Changes to your ways of working will change some ways you work with clients. Communicating what is happening and why ensures clients understand and are comfortable with the changes they'll see from your digital transformation.

Why is it important for accountants to secure client buy-in when they move to automated ways of working and progress digital transformation?

"The task facing law firms is to teach generative AI platforms with data they have controlled and checked for provenance, to reduce the odds of erroneous output — so-called “hallucinations” — produced by many generally available AI chatbots."

Legal firms often hold confidential or sensitive data, so they're bound to approach these things carefully. But where resources are available and appropriate, the legal sector is as keen to explore and innovate as any other.

And that reflects what we've found working with our clients on legal sector software solutions.

To innovate effectively, the right tech partner is a must. Ready to explore your options? Get in touch. We're ready to help.

When a company talks about their net zero claims, what are they actually talking about?

• Using biodegradable packaging?
• Installing energy-saving light bulbs?
• Sourcing renewable energy?

Sometimes. But other times, it's more an exercise in accounting.
