How Services Are Driving IT Growth Strategies Across Asia Pacific and Japan in 2026
Navigating the Challenge: Technology Overload Meets Time Constraints
From Public Clouds and Artificial Intelligence (AI) to automation, cybersecurity and data analytics, the list of “must-cover” technologies keeps expanding and so does the complexity. Cybersecurity alone includes more than 6,500 independent software vendors (ISVs), intensifying market fragmentation.
Customers still expect best-in-class solutions across the board. Yet trying to master every platform and tool stretches teams’ thin and dilutes impact. That’s why many partners are narrowing focus, deepening expertise with select vendors’ and adding others only where they fill strategic gaps.
So how do you bridge capability gaps and still deliver value efficiently? Services. The right services model builds skills, accelerates delivery and gives partners the flexibility needed to meet fast-moving customer expectations, without overextending internal resources.
The Solution: Building Skills, Scaling Smartly and Accessing Strategic Support
Keeping pace with demand isn’t just about having the right platforms; it’s about having the right people. Canalys survey shows recruitment tops partner strategies for 2026, reinforcing that talent drives transformation.
