DUBLIN, May 1, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Aon plc (NYSE: AON), a leading global professional services firm, today released its Client Trends 2025 report, which features new insights about the interconnectedness of four megatrends – Trade, Technology, Weather and Workforce – driving complexity, volatility and uncertainty for business and society.
"The megatrends of Trade, Technology, Weather and Workforce are creating unprecedented challenges for business leaders, who risk decision paralysis when urgent action is needed," said Greg Case, president and CEO of Aon. "The interconnectedness of these trends means that leaders need access to integrated data and analytics, capabilities and expertise to effectively respond to increasingly linked risk and people issues."
Aon's Client Trends 2025 report draws on the firm's Risk Capital and Human Capital expertise to offer a fresh perspective on how these trends intersect and impact decision making. The analysis looks at specific connection points between the trends, including with:
- Trade and Technology: The intersection of Technology and Trade are fuelling innovation that will deliver much-needed efficiencies in global supply chains. However, with new technology comes significant risks that must be properly managed. Artificial intelligence (AI) plays a vital role in helping move global trade through increasingly complex regulatory challenges, trade laws, privacy regulations and threats from cyber attacks and potential global trade wars.
- Technology and Workforce: The integration of AI within human resources functions is reshaping job roles and skill requirements across industries. Organizations are increasingly utilizing AI to optimize processes like talent acquisition and employee engagement. This shift not only enhances efficiency but focuses on upskilling employees to work alongside AI. As companies work to capitalize upon this transformation, are evolving their workforce with the necessary technical and maintaining critical human oversight to drive innovation and effective decision-making.
- Weather and Workforce: Extreme weather events are becoming more frequent and costly. According to Aon's 2025 Climate and Catastrophe Insight report, global economic losses in 2024 amounted to $368 billion. At the same time, employers are more concerned than ever about employee wellbeing, retention and productivity. Employees who work outside face health risks from heatwaves, air quality implications from wildfires and more. Not only can weather events affect employee's physical health, their emotional and financial wellbeing may also be at risk.
- Weather and Trade: The effects of climate volatility on global trade is another growing risk. This was starkly illustrated by the severe flooding in Spain and its impact on the automotive industry in 2024. Flooding disrupted production and logistics, highlighting the interconnectedness of supply chains and the financial risks posed by extreme weather events. In response, clients are integrating climate risk assessments into their strategic planning and developing diversified supply chains. By understanding and anticipating the impacts of weather-related disruptions, organizations are enhancing their resilience and protecting their trade operations in an increasingly unpredictable environment.

Four Interconnected Megatrends Are Driving Global Uncertainty For Business and Society: Aon Report
|
TOKYO, Jan. 13, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Ready Server, a server hosting service provider from Singapore, today announced its expansion in Japan through AT TOKYO, one of the country's leading carrier-centric data centre operators. With Tokyo joining Singapore and Hong Kong as its third live region, Ready Server now has stronger coverage in Asia and can better support customers who need fast, low-latency deployments.
The Asia Pacific cloud computing market is estimated at USD 104.24 billion in 2025 and predicted to reach USD 368.01 billion by 2032. Infrastructure-as-a-service is one of the fastest-growing segments, supported by the region's 37% share of global data centres and ongoing cloud region expansions.
"Our expansion in one of Asia's most important regional hubs, gives us access to the carrier density and network routes needed for consistent VPS performance," said Alan Woo, Director, Ready Server. "This allows us to offer another region that supports low-latency workloads, direct cross-connects and stable power availability. It also gives customers operating across the region a more efficient deployment point."
Interconnected Backbone Across Regions
Ready Server's deployment in Tokyo will be hosted at AT TOKYO's CC1, the operator's largest and most connected data centre facility. CC1 houses a dense collection of telecommunications carriers, Internet Exchange Points and network service providers, allowing Ready Server to establish direct cross-connects with NTT Global, PCCW Global and JPIX.
"The region offers power stability, high carrier density, and access to multiple network hubs that are essential for high-performance infrastructure," said AT TOKYO'S Executive Officer, Mtasayuki Ohnishi. "AT TOKYO is committed to providing a secure, reliable, and fully connected environment. Combined with Tokyo's central role in the country's digital ecosystem and the support of TEPCO's power grid, the city provides an ideal location for regional deployment and seamless connectivity in the region."
Delivering Simplicity and Access for Developers and Businesses
Ready Server's main users include web developers, system integrators, and application developers, who often lead deployment decisions. The platform also supports small and medium enterprises (SMEs), as well as businesses and individual users who find hyperscale platforms too costly or difficult to manage.
The platform's simplified interface lets users deploy servers within minutes, offering cloud-like capabilities without the usual enterprise complexity. This is especially helpful for smaller businesses that need performance and flexibility but may not have the resources or technical expertise to manage more complex setups.
Technical Architecture and Pricing Flexibility
Ready Server's expansion into Tokyo will support its core VPS infrastructure-as-a-service offering. Users receive virtualised compute, storage and networking resources with hourly billing and fixed pricing. This hybrid approach gives customers the flexibility to scale their resources without worrying about unexpected cloud fees or being tied into long-term contracts, making costs easier to manage as their needs grow.
The platform is built to handle a wide range of workloads, supported by enterprise-grade hardware that ensures consistent performance across all regions. This reliability enables developers, SMEs, and larger organisations to confidently build, test, and run their applications as they scale and expand operations.
This expansion launch marks a key step in Ready Server's global roadmap, with planned expansion across Europe, the U.S. and Asia-Pacific, including Seoul, Taipei and Sydney, and additional opportunities in Japan, such as Osaka, that is also under consideration.
