The firm said enterprise software is facing pressure in 2026 as AI model providers move up the stack and compete for IT budgets.<\/p>\n

The firm moved to charging for the usage rather than the number of seats customers booked, preparing for a world where customers won\u2019t need as many people to manage their workflows. The success of this strategy remains a question mark.<\/p>\n
