Constellation Research's AI-First Service Firms

Future of Work
Legacy organizations caught between two S-curves must quickly decide whether to start from scratch and migrate, or to modernize their technical debt within their existing organizational structures. Organizations embracing an AI-first approach will make the key architectural shift needed to gain an attacker’s advantage.
