From Legacy to Agentic: Why 2026 Is the Year SMBs Must Re-Engineer Cloud for Next-Gen AI
The cloud landscape is shifting faster than ever. What used to be a conversation about migration and optimisation has now become a conversation about autonomy. Agentic AI—AI systems that can plan, act, and execute multi-step tasks—is emerging as the next major wave of transformation.
Gartner lists it as a top strategic technology trend for 2025 and warns that over 40% of agentic AI projects may fail by 2027 due to poor governance and unprepared infrastructure.
For SMBs, this creates a new priority: 2026 must be the year your cloud, data, and workflows evolve to support AI that doesn’t just respond… but actually operates.
Green Cloud for Growing Businesses: How Sustainability Saves Money Too
In the race to grow and stay competitive, small and medium-sized businesses (SMEs) often see sustainability as a “nice to have” something for larger enterprises with deeper pockets. But in today’s digital economy, “green” also means “lean”. Sustainable cloud practices are not just good for the planet; they directly lower your monthly bills, improve system performance, and create long-term operational resilience.
According to the International Energy Agency (IEA) global data center electricity consumption could more than double to over 1,000 terawatt-hours (TWh) by 2026, driven by the demand for AI and cryptocurrency. This potential increase represents a doubling from the 460 TWh consumed in 2022 and is equivalent to Japan’s total annual electricity consumption.
As cloud workloads multiply, so do the costs and carbon footprints of inefficient systems. For SMEs, the opportunity lies in getting ahead of this curve: turning cloud sustainability into a source of measurable savings.
