DOGE would find trillions in savings and value if it zeroes in on US healthcare
While the US administration obsesses with pointing DOGE at relatively small levels of governmental expenditure in areas such as USAID and the Department of Education, when it comes to US healthcare, there are levels of cost inefficiencies and improved outcomes that could reach trillions of dollars if managed effectively.In fact, if US healthcare were its own country, its annual spending of $5.2 trillion would make it the world’s third-largest country by GDP.

Trump’s tariffs will rattle the foundations of the global IT services industry to its core
The focus of a lot of US business is going to be squarely on cost reduction, and this will have a direct impact on the global IT services industry. This will result in a double whammy hit for the India-dependent service providers and consultancies as US firms will be incentivized to reshore services work back to the US, and also to invest more heavily in AI to reduce reliance on support staff in areas like application development and business services.Read More
Google makes its biggest enterprise move, but can it make up lost ground?
Google has struggled for years to sink real teeth into the enterprise, but it may have just found its path to take on Microsoft and AWS as an AI cyber giant and gain real relevance as an enterprise cloud AI platform. This massive acquisition of Wiz also firmly positions Google directly against cyber vendors, namely Palo Alto Networks and CrowdStrike.If it plays this well, Google could end up closing this gap to both AWS and Microsoft in the enterprise AI platform market as cloud, cyber, and AI become completely intertwined. However, with AWS dominating a third of the global cloud market and Google barely having more than 10%, Google will have to tread carefully to avoid alienating the vast portfolio of Wiz customers. It has to prove to its new Wiz cyber clients it can be cloud-agnostic to optimize this massive investment.Read More

Supply chain leaders must act fast to get ahead of the looming tariffs
Donald Trump’s announcement of steep import tariffs on goods from Canada, Mexico, and China has rekindled concerns about a volatile trade landscape. His proposed 25% tariffs on Mexican and Canadian goods and an additional 10% on Chinese imports represent a significant shift from multilateralism to unilateralism. These actions threaten the integrated North American supply chain and global trade stability if implemented.Read More

Project 2025 dictates the removal of the Affordable Care Act, which will reverse history back to before 2010 when citizens could be refused insurance coverage for a pre-existing/chronic condition, which today impacts six out of ten citizens.
