Nucleus Top Ten Predictions for 2025

Nucleus’s 2025 predictions highlight fundamental tech shifts, starting with the fall of best-of-breed solutions as companies pivot to integrated platforms. Expect more vendor acquisitions, like Infor and Oracle’s push forward as full-suite solutions. Converged databases will help manage siloed data, while SaaS users need to utilize existing tools instead of making redundant purchases. Finance and HR systems will converge to simplify payroll and procurement, and hyperscalers are ramping up cloud investments. Industry-specific AI models will gain traction, Workforce Management will see renewed focus, and CPM vendors will enhance Excel integrations, but Generative AI adoption is lagging behind the hype.
