What I've noticed, at least in New Zealand, is a lot of work that is being done is replacing legacy systems with many organisations having kicked the can down the road only to get the point that they've run out of road. The IT cycle appears to come in waves where there are moments of transition only for things to die down as organisations move to maintenance mode until the next technology arrives and thee is a start of a new transition. A good example is how browsers have become more sophisticated and it is now possible to do things that used to require bespoke programs to do tasks that can now be pushed into the cloud. A good example of that would be at my work place where moved to using Amazon Connect via Chrome, from having a locally run Exchange server to it being thrown into Google Workspace along with macros used in Microsoft Office being migrated into Google Docs. It'll be interesting to see whether there is a bounce back as the big players embrace AI or whether it'll be about improving what already exists rather than entirely new software platforms.
