Reskills—and exits—staff to ride the enterprise AI wave

- FY2025 GenAI bookings nearly doubled to ~$5.9B; cumulative GenAI bookings reached roughly $11B+ since tracking began.
- Q3 FY2026 (reported June 2026): revenue ~$18.7B, up ~6%; raised full-year outlook on AI transformation demand.
- AI and data professionals grew to ~77,000 by 2025 from ~40,000 in 2023.
