Enterprises combine AI tools, hybrid work and global talent strategies to balance innovation with efficiency and compliance, ISG Provider Lens® report says

FRANKFURT, Germany--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Slowing growth and persistent skill shortages are prompting enterprises in Germany to adopt new workplace models centered on flexibility and autonomous AI systems, according to a new research report published today by Information Services Group (ISG) (Nasdaq: III), a global AI-centered technology research and advisory firm.

German workplaces are undergoing one of the most significant transformations in decades. Organizations are adopting hybrid models and integrating responsible AI as long-term strategies for productivity and growth.

The 2025 ISG Provider Lens® Future of Work Services report for Germany finds that economic stagnation and demographic pressures have combined to create a structural labor shortage that is reshaping corporate policy and accelerating the adoption of AI-enabled work models. Enterprises are also expanding international recruitment and reskilling programs, treating global talent acquisition as a long-term strategic necessity to fill domestic skill gaps.

“German workplaces are undergoing one of the most significant transformations in decades,” said Martin Mitrega, director at ISG. “Organizations are adopting hybrid models and integrating responsible AI as long-term strategies for productivity and growth.”

Hybrid work has become a permanent pillar of the German labor market, the report says. The profound shifts in work organization triggered by the COVID-19 pandemic have now consolidated into a new, stable way of working in Germany. Hybrid arrangements have shifted from temporary measures to strategic fixtures of many workplaces, with knowledge-based industries leading this trend. Companies are redesigning offices as collaboration hubs and equipping managers to lead distributed teams.

AI adoption has reached an inflection point in Germany, influencing workplace practices, ISG says. A recent survey by the Germany-based ifo Institute found that more than 40 percent of German companies use AI in their business processes and more than 90 percent see generative AI (GenAI) as critical to future business models. AI implementation is shifting from limited use to a core business priority, with investment rising in multiple sectors. Implementations of AI without IT oversight have raised concerns about AI security and governance.

Agentic AI is the next frontier for German enterprises and is rapidly emerging, the report says. Autonomous AI agents can plan, reason and execute multistep tasks with minimal human oversight. Germany’s enterprise agentic AI market demonstrates how the technology is evolving from a tool to a collaborative team member. Major automotive operations such as Mercedes-Benz and BMW already deploy agentic systems for conversational navigation and supply chain optimization, moving from task automation to end-to-end process redesign. However, this growing ambition is matched by rising caution. Trust in fully autonomous systems has declined sharply amid greater awareness of risks related to data privacy, algorithmic bias and loss of control.

“AI is increasingly seen as a driver of job transformation rather than outright replacement,” said Roman Pelzel, principal analyst, ISG Provider Lens Research, and lead author of the report. “As awareness of privacy and control risks grows, enterprises are redefining roles and skills to foster human-agent collaboration rather than full automation.”

The report also explores other trends in Germany’s workplace services market, including changes being implemented to reach sustainability goals and a recent shift toward experience-driven, outcome-based contracting aligned with responsible AI governance.

For more insights into the workplace and AI-related challenges faced by enterprises in Germany, plus ISG’s advice for overcoming them, see the ISG Provider Lens® Focal Points briefing here.

The 2025 ISG Provider Lens® Future of Work Services report for Germany evaluates the capabilities of 39 providers across six quadrants: Workplace Strategy and Enablement Services, Collaboration and Next-gen Experience Services, Managed End-user Technology Services, Continuous Productivity Services (including Next-gen Service Desk), Smart and Sustainable Workplace Services and AI-augmented Workforce Services.

The report names Capgemini, Deutsche Telekom, Infosys and Wipro as Leaders in all six quadrants. Accenture, Bechtle, Computacenter and HCLTech are named as Leaders in five quadrants each. Unisys is named as a Leader in four quadrants. Deloitte and TCS are named as Leaders in three quadrants each. NTT DATA and PwC are named as Leaders in two quadrants each, and Atos and Lenovo are named as Leaders in one quadrant each.

In addition, NTT DATA and Stefanini are named as Rising Stars — companies with a “promising portfolio” and “high future potential” by ISG’s definition — in two quadrants each. Bechtle, Getronics and netgo are recognized as Rising Stars in one quadrant each.

In the area of customer experience, Microland is named the global ISG CX Star Performer for 2025 among future of work service providers. Microland earned the highest customer satisfaction scores in ISG’s Voice of the Customer survey, part of the ISG Star of Excellence™ program, the premier quality recognition for the technology and business services industry.

Customized versions of the report are available from Computacenter, Deutsche Telekom, Infosys and netgo.

Press Release
Nokia deploys future-ready network architecture to enhance Zayo’s leading IP network infrastructure

Upgraded IP network architecture to provide Zayo’s customers with faster, broader set of services including cloud access, data center connectivity, and secure high-speed links First phase underway in New York and New Jersey - expansion planned to dozens of additional markets and thousands of lit buildingsSolution based on Nokia’s high-performance IP routers, powered by Nokia’s advanced FP5 silicon 29 October 2025
Espoo, Finland - Nokia today announced that it is working with Zayo, a leading global communications infrastructure provider, to deploy a next-generation IP network architecture to enhance Zayo’s network connectivity. With this deployment, Zayo’s customers will experience faster and more reliable internet services and will gain access to a broader set of services — including cloud access and data center connectivity over secure high-speed links — which drive productivity, improve collaboration, and open new economic opportunities.

The first phase of deployment is underway in New York and New Jersey, with expansion planned to dozens of additional markets and thousands of lit buildings in the near future.

Zayo’s fiber footprint spans over 19 million fiber miles and 147,000 route miles, connecting 400 markets and more than 1,500 on-net data centers globally. The new network architecture allows Zayo to deploy connectivity in new markets and bring more lit buildings online in record time, enabling the company to expand its reach and quickly respond to changing market conditions. The ability to rapidly deliver high-capacity infrastructure closer to its end user also reduces exposure to single points of failure, minimizes congestion, and ensures stable, resilient performance across Zayo’s IP backbone. This transformation to a more modular and scalable solution with Nokia’s next-generation IP router solution positions Zayo to meet growing bandwidth demand — including delivering 400G and 800G-capable services at scale — to support the next wave of cloud and edge computing and enable faster access to digital services for its customers.

“By partnering with Nokia, we’re setting a new standard for what’s possible in fiber-based connectivity. The ability to rapidly light up new buildings and markets on our IP network allows us to more quickly respond to customer demand faster, which is increasingly important in today’s fast-evolving market. Nokia’s solution delivers the reliability, performance, and agility we need to meet the growing needs of our customers—from cloud providers and data centers to schools and enterprises,” said Aaron Werley, SVP of Engineering, Zayo.

This next-generation architecture replaces Zayo’s existing Provider Edge infrastructure with Nokia’s high-performance IP router solution. Built on Nokia’s advanced FP5-based 7750 Service Router and the Nokia 7250 Interconnect Router (IXR), the new solution enables rapid deployment, increased reliability, and simplified operations across Zayo’s extensive global network. The new Nokia architecture enhances scalability, allowing Zayo to serve more customers while improving reliability and performance across its infrastructure.

“This collaboration with Zayo reflects a shared commitment to advancing connectivity and creating new opportunities for digital transformation across industries. It’s also a great example of how Nokia’s technology leadership can accelerate network transformation for our customers. With our FP5-based platforms and deep expertise in IP networks, we’re enabling Zayo to deploy services faster, simplify operations, and lead the market with flexible, future-ready infrastructure. Together, we’re delivering the kind of innovation that sets a new bar for the entire industry,” said Jeff Valley, Vice President, IP Networks, Nokia.

CompaniesBERLIN, Oct 29 (Reuters) - Mercedes

(MBGn.DE), opens new tab on Wednesday reported a 70% drop in operating profit in the third quarter, as the cost of job cuts added to U.S. tariff woes and weak demand for the German luxury carmaker.

Group earnings before interest and taxes came in at 750 million euros ($875 million) in the July-to-September period, down from 2.5 billion euros in the same period last year.

In adjusted terms, quarterly EBIT was 2.1 billion euros, impacted by special effects including payouts for redundancies.

The company maintained its guidance for the full year but warned of a "dynamic" environment, adding it would push ahead with efficiency measures across the group.

Mercedes' troubles are spread across its most important markets: tariffs weigh in the U.S., sales are falling in the highly competitive Chinese market and European emissions targets have prompted an uneasy shift towards margin-squeezing electric vehicles (EV).

Mercedes is undergoing restructuring measures to save 5 billion euros globally by 2027.

Overall, the company booked 876 million euros in expenses for restructuring programmes in the third quarter, up from 560 million euros in the prior three-month period.

Ben & Jerry’s co-founder Ben Cohen said Tuesday that parent company Unilever prevented the ice cream maker from creating a "flavor for Palestine."

Cohen and the Vermont-based ice-cream maker are known for social activism, often supporting Palestinians and criticizing Israel.

"Unilever / Magnum stopped Ben & Jerry’s from creating a flavor for Palestine — so I’m doing it myself," Cohen wrote on X, referring to Magnum Ice Cream, Unilever's ice cream unit.

"I’ve got a watermelon, an empty pint, and I need your help: Name the flavor or suggest ingredients. Or design the pint packaging," he continued.

Watermelons have become a symbol of Palestinian solidarity because their red, green, black and white colors match the the Palestinian flag.

"Here I am making something that's actually pretty important. The scale of suffering of the Palestinian people over the last two years has been unimaginable. So the ceasefire is a welcome relief, but there's much more work to do to rebuild. Palestinians are still living under occupation, still recovering from years of suffering, especially Palestinian children," Cohen said in a video posted to X.

"They deserve dignity, safety, and the same rights that every human being should have," he continued. "A while back, Ben & Jerry's tried to make a flavor to call for peace in Palestine, to stand for justice and dignity for everyone, like Ben & Jerry's always has. But they weren't allowed to, they were stopped by Unilever/Magnum, the company that owns Ben and Jerry's. Just like when Ben & Jerry's tried to stop selling ice cream in the occupied territories, they were blocked again by their parent company. So I'm doing what they couldn't."

Cohen said he is now making a watermelon-flavored ice cream that "calls for permanent peace in Palestine and calls for repairing all the damage that was done there."

"I'm doing this to shine a light on the experience of Palestinian people, and children in particular, so the world does not look the other way," he said.

Fox Business has reached out to Unilever for comment.

In May, Cohen was removed from a Senate Health, Education, Labor and Pensions Committee hearing with Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. for protesting against the Israel-Hamas war in Gaza.

"Congress pays for bombs," Cohen shouted at the time. 

"I told Congress they’re killing poor kids in Gaza by buying bombs, and they’re paying for it by kicking poor kids off Medicaid in the US," Cohen added at the time on X.

BEN & JERRY'S CRIES FOUL AS PARENT COMPANY FIRES CEO FOR POLITICAL ACTIVISM

Ben & Jerry’s co-founder, Jerry Greenfield, recently announced he is leaving the company after 47 years, saying Unilever had "silenced" the ice cream maker on social issues.

Cohen said after Greenfield's announcement that "his legacy deserves to be true to our values, not silenced."

New Capital from Oak Hill Advisors to Drive Investment in Go-Forward Manufacturing Operations

CINCINNATI--(BUSINESS WIRE)--National Resilience (“Resilience”), a technology-focused biomanufacturing company dedicated to broadening access to complex medicines, today announced long-term debt financing of up to $825 million from Oak Hill Advisors (“OHA”) to strengthen its balance sheet and fuel its growth plans. This new capital will enable Resilience to accelerate its CDMO business strategy and invest in its go-forward manufacturing operations anchored in Cincinnati and Toronto.

William S. Marth, President and Chief Executive Officer of Resilience, said, “This financing is a pivotal step forward for our enterprise and positions us well to advance our ongoing transformation efforts backed by favorable industry tailwinds in the CDMO sector. This new capital will support the continued buildout of our core manufacturing operations and enable us to serve our customers with stability and excellence into the future, particularly at a time when pharmaceutical onshoring is a national priority. Partnering with OHA and our supportive long-time shareholders, we are confident that Resilience now has the right focus, footprint and financial profile to capitalize on the exciting strategic growth opportunities ahead.”

“We believe Resilience is uniquely positioned to scale its advanced manufacturing capabilities and meet the increasing demand for complex medicines,” said Joe Goldschmid, Managing Director at OHA. “Our investment reflects conviction in the company’s leadership team, strategic positioning and ability to generate long-term value in a sector undergoing rapid transformation.

The financing includes a $600 million first lien commitment from OHA. The initial tranche of $525 million is expected to be funded later in the fourth quarter, with the remainder of the financing in subsequent years as needed. Financing is subject to satisfaction of customary conditions.

In addition to obtaining the new term loan, Resilience has successfully resolved the lease obligations related to its underutilized sites, further optimizing its balance sheet.

Bitcoin Dip Looks Standard Pre-FOMC and $120K Would Open Path to $143K, Analysts SayAfter a quick jump toward $116,094 faded, buyers showed up near $112,500 while analysts watched $120,000 as the level that could clear the way toward $143,000.Updated Oct 29, 2025, 4:55 a.m. Published Oct 29, 2025, 4:38 a.m.

Bitcoin hovered near $113,000 as traders waited for the Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) — the Federal Reserve’s rate-setting group — to conclude its meeting today, with Chair Jerome Powell’s press conference at 2:30 p.m. ET.

Analyst comments Ali Martinez says bitcoin needs to climb over $120,000 to open a path toward $143,000. In simple terms, he’s arguing that once price clears $120K, there’s less historical “traffic” above, so an advance to the next landmark around $143K becomes more likely on his framework.

He bases this on a chart using long-term pricing bands—smooth curves built from on-chain averages that act like lanes on a motorway. In the image you shared, price sits below a key band around $120K; above that, the next band is near $143K, which he treats as the next major waypoint. The point is not that price must go there, but that once $120K is reclaimed, the model shows more open air until the upper band around $143K.

Michaël van de Poppe says the recent drop looks like a routine dip, not a broken trend, and he wants $112K to keep holding as support before expecting another push higher. Put differently, he sees the move down as a standard “check the floor” moment, not the start of a bigger slide.

He bases this on a medium-timeframe price chart with two clear zones: a floor near $112K and a ceiling around $115.6K–$116.2K. His chart sketches a path that bounces from the floor back toward the ceiling, which visually communicates his idea that the market can stabilize here and try higher again if $112K continues to hold.

Glassnode says many recent buyers are concentrated near $111,000, while heavier selling interest sits around $117,000. In everyday language, $111K is where bargain hunters often step in, and $117K is where profit-taking often shows up, creating a tug-of-war that defines the current range.

They base this on a cost-basis distribution view, which groups coins by the price where they last moved. Peaks in that distribution around $111K signal lots of buyers there (a supportive area), and peaks near $117K signal lots of potential sellers (an area that can slow rallies). The takeaway is that a clean move outside $111K–$117K could set the tone for the next larger leg.

Technical analysis highlights The following is based on CoinDesk Research's technical analysis data model.

Oct. 28, 14:00 UTC: Trading jumped to 22,844 BTC (174% of the 24-hour average 8,268), lifting price to the day’s high near $116,094 before sellers capped the move between $115,600–$116,200.Oct. 28, 20:00 UTC: A second burst of activity pressed price toward $112,500, where buyers responded and the slide slowed.Oct. 29, 02:00 UTC window: Over the 24 hours ending then, bitcoin slipped about 1.2%, from $113,973 to $112,568, a swing of roughly $3,930.03:45 UTC, Oct. 29 (time of writing): Price was near $112,637, with smaller candles that often signal a pause.Levels to watch: Support at $112,500, then $111,000; resistance at $115,600–$116,200. A push through $116K opens $119K–$120K; a loss of $112.5K puts $111K back in play.Analysis of latest 24-hour and one-month charts from CoinDesk Data24-hour view: The day looked like a bounce between a ceiling and a floor. Price sprinted to $116K, dropped back, then found support near $112.5K. After that, the candles got smaller, which usually means the rush to buy or sell cooled and traders are waiting for a fresh push.

One-month view: Most recent trading sits inside a $111K–$117K corridor. That explains why quick rallies often stall near $117K and quick dips often find buyers near $111K. Until price leaves this corridor, expect more back-and-forth. A firm move above $116K and then $120K would argue the balance is shifting upward; a clean drop below $112.5K would test $111K and the strength of the floor.

Bitwise Solana Staking ETF (BSOL) makes an impressive debut with massive inflows and trading volumes, the biggest crypto ETF launch since Ethereum. However, SOL price slipped below $195 despite whales opening long positions on the ETF launch.

Bitwise Solana Staking ETF (BSOL) Records $69.5 Million Inflows
Bitwise’s spot Solana ETF officially began trading on NYSE Arca with $222.9 million in seed capital, recording $56 million in trading volume on its first day. Meanwhile, trading volumes for Canary’s HBAR ETF and Litecoin ETF were $8 million and $1 million, respectively.

Bloomberg senior ETF analyst Eric Balchunas quoted $222.9 million in assets as “impressive.” He added, “Surprised they didn’t hold off tho and have it come in on Day One to get volume and flows higher. Good news is now we’ll have only organic, easier to measure true demand.”

Bitwise Solana Staking ETF (BSOL) saw $69.5 million in inflows on day one, according to Farside Investors data on October 29. This is nearly 480% higher than the $12 million recorded by REX Osprey SOL Staking ETF (SSK).

Moreover, the net asset value (NAV) has reached nearly $289 million, according to SoSoValue data. The accounts for 0.01% of SOL market cap.

BSOL marks the first Solana staking ETF approved for trading in the United States. It provides investors with exposure to Solana (SOL), offering more than 7% annual rewards by staking 100% of SOL.

SOL Price Falls Despite Whale Accumulations
Whales accumulated heavily in response to the Bitwise Solana Staking ETF (BSOL) launch. A whale with a 100% win-rate opened a long position on SOL with 10x leverage, reported Onchain Lens. Recently, the whale closed its 13x long position on BTC to make $1.4 million in profit.

However, SOL price fell more than 3% in the past 24 hours, with the price currently trading at $$194. The 24-hour low and high are $191.39 and $203.83, respectively. Trading volume saw a major rebound with a 25% jump in the last 24 hours, indicating interest among traders.

The derivatives market showed buying in the last few hours, as per CoinGlass data. The 4-hour SOL futures OI was up nearly 0.22%. Notably, the total Solana futures open interest climbed 3% to $10.22 billion in 24 hours, with a 0.03% drop on CME and a 2.50% jump on Binance in the last 24 hours.

The price of Bitcoin (BTC) continues to hover around the $114,000 mark as investor sentiment swings between optimism and caution.

According to Standard Chartered’s head of digital asset research Geoffrey Kendrick, the recent developments may mark a transformative phase for Bitcoin, one where its six-figure price zone becomes a lasting support level rather than a fleeting milestone.

Macro Tailwinds Drive Market Mood
Kendrick points to a rebound in global risk appetite after recent signs of détente between the United States and China.

Discussions around delayed rare-earth export restrictions and increased U.S. agricultural purchases by China have eased trade tensions ahead of the high-level summit between President Donald Trump and President Xi Jinping.

Kendrick notes that this shift in geopolitics has helped restore confidence in risk assets, including Bitcoin, and may be influencing the recent uptick in the Bitcoin-to-gold ratio, a key sentiment indicator for crypto markets.

In parallel, expectations of a potential interest-rate cut by the Fed and the possibility of the bank pausing its quantitative-tightening programme have also lifted hopes of increased liquidity, further favouring risk-on trades. Analysts suggest that if the Fed pivots, it could serve as a boost for Bitcoin’s structural up-trend.

Spot Bitcoin ETF Flows Could Cement the New Floor
Beyond macro trends, Standard Chartered emphasises the growing role of institutional flows into spot Bitcoin ETFs. The believe that over $2 billion recently exited gold-backed ETFs, and argues that even half of those funds shifting into BTC products would represent a major structural change in capital allocation.

This matters because it signals a shift away from the traditional narrative that Bitcoin’s price moves are primarily driven by its miner-reward “halving” events.

Instead, large-scale adoption and institutional investment now appear to be the dominant drivers of the market. If this momentum persists, Kendrick asserts that Bitcoin may be entering a new phase where dropping below $100,000 becomes unlikely.

Bottom Line
At present, Bitcoin remains within a consolidation range near $112,000–114,000, with technicals pointing to a tightening in volatility and potential for a breakout once macro catalysts settle.

If Bitcoin can hold above this cluster and institutional flows continue unabated, the $100,000 level may no longer be just a psychological barrier, it could become the de facto floor. Traders and investors will be watching closely in the days ahead for confirmation of these trends.
