State of Intune 2026: Satisfaction High, Manual Work Still Dominates

Application Development, DevSecOps, Enterprise IT Strategy /

Recast’s State of Intune in 2026 survey of 890 IT professionals finds high platform satisfaction alongside persistent manual workloads and entrenched hybrid environments. Most organizations have no timeline to retire ConfigMgr, making hybrid the long-term reality rather than a transitional state. The findings point to a durable market for automation tooling built on top of Microsoft’s endpoint management stack.

AI Infrastructure Strategy: Why Edge and Governance Matter Most

AI Infrastructure Strategy: Why Edge and Governance Matter Most

AI, Application Development, Cloud, DevSecOps, Infrastructure, Machine Learning /

AI Appreciation Day prompted BCN CEO Richard Boudria Jr. to argue that the next AI wave will be won on infrastructure, not model size. ECI Research data shows most engineering time goes to maintenance, not innovation, and AI-assisted development is raising security risk across the enterprise. The governance and edge architecture gaps are where the real work begins.

Enterprise AI Training Gap: Employees Left Behind | ECI Research

Enterprise AI Training Gap: Employees Left Behind | ECI Research

AI, Application Development, Automation, DevSecOps, Enterprise IT Strategy /

TrustedTech’s latest research finds that 78% of decision-makers are confident using AI at work versus just 43% of employees, while 36% of workers are self-teaching without employer guidance. ECI Research argues this enterprise AI training gap is more than a workforce development problem — it’s a live security and governance risk. Organizations that treat AI enablement as optional are already paying the price in elevated exposure and constrained innovation capacity.
