Our *KPMG Managed Services Outlook 2026* sheds light on how companies are using managed services to manage technological transformation in the long term. It is based on an international survey of 1,224 executives, including decision-makers from Germany.

The focus is on the question of how new technologies can be reliably introduced into operations, especially where AI needs to be introduced, secured and scaled in a structured manner. Managed services are therefore becoming a key lever for anchoring transformation in everyday life.
