Motivair by Schneider Electric Analyst Event: Engineering Liquid Cooling and Power for the AI Factory Era

Andrew Buss, Luis Fernandes — Tue, 08 Sep 2026 04:00:00 GMT

This IDC Market Note covers Motivair by Schneider Electric’s analyst event, held July 15 and 16, 2026, in Buffalo, New York, where the company laid out its liquid cooling, 800Vdc power, reference design, and modular datacenter road map for AI factory infrastructure, alongside new metrics for measuring AI efficiency and a deployment case study.

Fujitsu’s July 2026 Executive Analyst Day: Executing on the Fujitsu Management Vision 2035, from MONAKA Silicon to Sovereign Orchestration

Lars Goransson, Linus Lai, Andrea Siviero — Mon, 07 Sep 2026 04:00:00 GMT

This IDC Perspective presents highlights from Fujitsu’s Executive Analyst Day 2026 held across three days (July 14–16). The event covered Management Vision 2035, Fujitsu’s AI strategy (Kozuchi, Takane, and the AI-Driven Software Development Platform), its international and Uvance business, global delivery, and its MONAKA processor and quantum computing road maps. The biggest takeaways for IDC are threefold: Fujitsu’s move to own every layer of a named Sovereign Orchestration stack from silicon to consulting; its restructuring of Uvance and global delivery around named verticals and service lines, backed by the GK Software acquisition and Wayfinders consulting; and dated proof points, chiefly a 1,024-qubit quantum system in 2026, a MONAKA CPU ship date of 2027, and firm 2030 and 2035 revenue-mix and mainframe-retirement targets against which execution can be measured well before 2035.

“Fujitsu is betting that owning the stack from silicon to consulting will matter more than its services breadth as enterprise AI moves from pilots to production,” said Linus Lai, group vice president at IDC. “The strategy is coherent; the open question is whether execution and investments in its international businesses will keep pace with the targets Fujitsu has set for itself.”

Market Analysis Perspective: Worldwide and U.S. Business Consulting Services, 2026

Bill Latshaw — Mon, 07 Sep 2026 04:00:00 GMT

This IDC Market Analysis Perspective provides insight into the current and future state of the business consulting services market. It includes an overview of the current market landscape, a technology buyer perspective, a market outlook, and IDC's advice for technology suppliers/service providers.

"Analysis is cheaper now. Consulting is not. What buyers still pay for is judgment they can hold someone accountable to and a result they can measure, and that is pulling fees away from hours worked. Growth is real, and it reaches further down market than it used to, but it will go to the providers that protect their margin and their junior bench while the work gets faster and the competition gets smaller." — Bill Latshaw, research director, Business Consulting Services
