[PRESSWIRE] CHICAGO – July 24, 2025 — West Monroe today released its 2025 Tech Trends to Watch Report, highlighting five technology shifts already reshaping how businesses work, compete, and grow. From AI agents taking on tasks to smaller, faster initiatives replacing massive transformations, the trends reflect what West Monroe sees firsthand: the most successful organizations aren’t waiting—they’re executing with speed, precision, and trust. This year’s report underscores a key theme: AI isn’t replacing people—it’s empowering them.

The 2025 Tech Trends are:

• The AI Agent Workforce Shift: Agentic AI is transforming team dynamics and workflows, enabling AI agents to reason, act, and self-correct with minimal human input—reshaping how work gets done.
• Decentralized Tech, Democratized Power: Low-code and no-code tools are turning everyday employees into builders, accelerating innovation at the edges of organizations—but success depends on governance that scales with speed.
• The Payoff of Platform‑Driven Value: With most enterprise platforms underutilized, companies are shifting focus from new tools to smarter use of what they already own—unlocking value faster and with less risk.
• Micro Moves, Big Wins: Long‑term transformations are out. Targeted, high‑impact initiatives led by nimble teams are delivering faster ROI and fueling continuous innovation.
• AI in the Physical World: AI is stepping off the screen and into the real world—driving better outcomes by amplifying, not replacing, human strengths.

“In 2025, the technologies driving disruption—like AI and advanced computing—will evolve fast… The true trailblazers aren’t chasing hype—they’re solving real problems, empowering teams to test, build, and iterate.” – Erik Brown, senior partner in West Monroe’s Technology & Experience practice.
