Guidehouse Launches The Tech Guide 2025
Global professional services firm publishes a roadmap for businesses and government agencies seeking to maximize AI and other critical technologies MCLEAN, Va., June 24, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — In an era when disruption is the norm, racing to adopt the latest technology isn't enough—leaders need a plan that's focused on strategy and long-term outcomes. That's a central message conveyed in The Tech Guide, a landmark report published today by Guidehouse, a global AI-led professional services firm delivering advisory, technology, and managed services to the commercial and government sectors. Designed for senior leaders in both business and government, The Tech Guide 2025: A Roadmap for Turning Urgency into Advantage is meant to empower decision-makers to translate emerging tech into real-world impact. From AI and cloud infrastructure to data platforms and cybersecurity, the Guide contains actionable insights for maximizing the potential of these core technologies, not just to boost efficiency—a priority the Guide emphasizes is now table-stakes—but to create value and lock in competitive advantage. 'At a time when the pace of change is only accelerating, the winners won't be the ones chasing the newest tools—they'll be the ones who know how to use them strategically,' said Stuart Brown, Guidehouse Technology Leader. 'The Tech Guide cuts through the chaos and delivers a clear path to smarter, faster decisions.' Unlike traditional forecast-focused tech-trend reports, The Tech Guide 2025 is a detailed practical handbook, grounded in up-to-date, real-world insights from senior Guidehouse technology leaders. It's also sector-specific: The Tech Guide gives readers downloadable AI Acceleration Frameworks—concise checklists for fast, safe AI integration for healthcare, energy providers, financial services, and government agencies. Key takeaways: AI is the starting line, not the end of the race: Real advantage comes from integrating AI solutions with resilient cloud infrastructure, robust platforms, and well-governed data to create an adaptable, ever-evolving tech model that's future-ready and fit for purpose. Speed for speed's sake is a risk: The Guide outlines how leaders can avoid common missteps that sacrifice trust and productivity in the name of fast adoption. Government agencies are poised for a big leap forward: New public-private alliances, growing investment from major tech players, and an iterative approach to AI scaling can empower public-sector entities to move at a commercial pace, safely and responsibly. The future is agentic: The Tech Guide points the way forward for tech leaders seeking to understand and leverage autonomous AI agents, which are on the cusp of fundamentally transforming workflows and operations in multiple industries. 'The Tech Guide is about helping leaders step back, refocus, and ask the bigger question—not 'what's next?' but 'what matters most?'' said Karen Odegaard, Guidehouse's AI Leader. 'It's not just about adopting faster—it's about transforming smarter.'

Australians are turning to refurbished technology to ease their cost of living burden and it has created a significant market for second-hand devices including tablets and smartphones.

Brisbane mum Brittany Rogerson told 9News it was an appealing alternative to consumer-to-consumer sales through platforms such as Facebook Marketplace. "I really don't like Facebook Marketplace with all the scams that are happening right now, I also don't really like meeting up with people," Rogerson said. Fenech warned that selling direct to other consumers would likely be more lucrative. "You're gonna get a better experience through a store when you do the trading but you're gonna get less money than you would if you sold it privately," he said.
