What role will AI play in business processes by 2026?
AI is expected to be a significant catalyst for change in 2026, with autonomous AIs managing complex tasks across various business functions. For instance, in finance, AI could handle invoicing and transaction reconciliation, while in HR, it might streamline onboarding and training processes. This shift will enable companies to scale more effectively and allow human workers to focus on more strategic and creative tasks.
How will cybersecurity evolve in 2026?
With cyber attacks becoming more frequent and sophisticated, businesses will need to adopt a proactive cybersecurity strategy. This includes building robust defenses and fostering a security-aware culture throughout the organization. Companies must not only defend against attacks but also develop resilience to maintain operations even after an incident occurs.
What is the significance of the skills gap in 2026?
Closing the skills gap will be essential for businesses in 2026, as organizations that successfully reskill their workforce can achieve significant benefits. For example, companies like Ikea have reported generating substantial new revenue by upskilling employees to work with AI. This trend highlights the importance of investing in employee development to enhance productivity and drive business growth.

We’re a Microsoft Cloud Solution Specialist providing IT services and licensing to businesses principally within the UK. Over the course of the last 20 or so years we’ve built a small business from scratch, having literally knocked doors to acquire early customers and working on referral ever since, to become what is today approximately 8 employees, with a solid recurring revenue and a modest profit, derived from around 150 customers. These customers are largely across multiple industries, however, we are particularly strong with the Accounting, Finance and Charitable sectors, but typically share one thing in common; being owner-managed. Those owner-managers benefit in various ways from either some or all of the following services owing to our long term experience and skillsets, in no particular order:
- IT Support under a sensible, working, Service Level Agreement (SLA)
- Appropriate Microsoft Office 365 licensing
- IT Security solutions
- Connectivity
- Hosted Voice, Telephony & Mobile
- Professional Services
Each area typically requires a more detailed conversation in order it can be right-sized to suit your working practices and plans. At a glance, it is clear that you should consider reviewing your perimeter security and implementing something a little more appropriate than the existing device, given your shape and size. We're happy to give you some time on the subject to help you gain an understanding and put you in a better position to make a choice, just drop us a line and we can organise something to suit…
