For Australian businesses, effective adoption of cloud platforms is not just a technological imperative – it's a business necessity. By aligning cloud strategies with business priorities, investing in cybersecurity, thoughtfully integrating AI, and addressing skills gaps and new modes of operating, organisations can position themselves for the growth and customer experience they want to achieve.
Datacom’s Annual Cloud Report, undertaken with our research partner Tech Research Asia, is one of the largest longitudinal studies of its kind in Australasia with a focus on the state of the cloud ecosystem. We are pleased to share the latest results and hope they can help you and your organisation identify areas of focus that will help you make the most of your cloud investments.

What technology areas are organisations investing in over the next 12 months? Cybersecurity has been the top technology investment priority for Australian organisations for three years in a row. This year that cybersecurity focus is centred on security information, analytics and threat intelligence.
