ビジネスプロセスアウトソーシングとコンサルティングを手掛けるコンセントリクス、ヒューロン、タスクアスの株価が急騰した。アクセンチュアの予想を上回る決算と、コンセンサスを超える2027会計年度の見通しが、ITコンサルティングとビジネスサービス関連銘柄を押し上げたためだ。アクセンチュアは第4四半期の売上高が約187億ドルと市場予想を上回ったことを受け、2027会計年度の売上高成長率を3%から6%と見込んだ。人工知能が従来のコンサルティングやアウトソーシング需要を空洞化させるとの懸念が和らぎ、コグニザント、IBM、セールスフォース、そしてインドのIT関連ADRであるインフォシスとウィプロに波及的な買いが広がった。コンセントリクスは10.8%上昇、ヒューロンは7.3%高、タスクアスは6.3%上昇した。別途、IBMはエンタープライズ向けAIの主権とガバナンスを目的としたIBM Bobのセルフホスト型導入オプションを発表した。これにより企業は、オンプレミス、主権クラウド、プライベートクラウド、エアギャップ環境など顧客が管理する環境内で、AI駆動のソフトウェアデリバリーとモダナイゼーションを実行できるようになる。またIBMは、厳格なコンプライアンスとデータ主権基準の下でのメインフレームモダナイゼーションを狙った、セルフホスト機能とより高度なアプリケーションインテリジェンスツールを備えたIBM Bob Premium Package for Zを拡充した。コンセントリクスは年初来で33.2%下落しており、1株27.52ドルと、2025年10月の52週高値48.26ドルを43%下回る水準で取引されている。

IBMは木曜日、エージェント型ソフトウェア開発プラットフォーム「IBM Bob」が、オンプレミス、プライベートクラウド、ソブリンクラウド、さらにはエアギャップ環境でも利用可能になったと発表した。これにより、機密性の高いソースコードやアプリケーションのコンテキスト、開発成果物を外部のAIサービスに送信することなく、顧客が管理するインフラ内に保持できるようになる。同社は、2026年6月のIBM Institute for Business Valueの調査を引用し、回答した経営幹部の68%が、地域をまたいだデータレジデンシーと主権要件の遵守が困難であると述べたことを明らかにした。IBMは7月の第2四半期決算で、顧客がAIの実験段階から企業規模の導入へと移行する中で、Red Hat、watsonx、HashiCorpの各事業が恩恵を受けていると述べ、さらにPowerとStorageの受注残高が約5億ドルに達したことを明らかにした。IBMの第2四半期売上高は172億ドルで、ソフトウェア部門は前年比5%増の78億ドルとなり、2026年通年の恒常通貨ベースの売上成長率は4%から5%を見込んでいる。新しいBobの提供は、外部モデルサービスへの接続を含むハイブリッド構成にも引き続き対応しているが、IBMはパブリッククラウドをデフォルトとして扱うのではなく、導入場所を製品の一部としている。

IBMは、同社のエージェント型ソフトウェア開発プラットフォーム「IBM Bob」のセルフホスト型導入を発表した。これにより、組織はAIを活用したソフトウェア開発とモダナイゼーションを、オンプレミス、プライベートクラウド、ソブリンクラウド、エアギャップ環境で自らの管理下で実行できるようになる。この選択肢は、機密性の高いソースコード、規制対象データ、ミッションクリティカルなインフラを管理し、パブリックAIプラットフォームにおけるセキュリティとコンプライアンスの制約に直面している企業を対象としている。Futurum Researchのレポートによると、ハイブリッドおよびエッジ導入は2030年までにAIインフラ市場の44%を占めると予測される一方、パブリッククラウドのシェアは同じ期間に46%まで低下すると予測されている。IBMのInstitute for Business Valueによる2026年6月のレポート「The Calculus of AI Sovereignty」では、調査対象の経営幹部の68%が、地域をまたいだデータレジデンシーとソブリニティの要件を満たすことが困難だと回答した。IBMのAIおよびオートメーション担当ゼネラルマネージャーであるNeel Sundaresan氏は、エンタープライズAIの未来はセキュリティ、ガバナンス、ソブリニティにかかっており、Bobのセルフホスト型導入はエージェント型AIを顧客が管理する環境に直接もたらすと述べた。
