Having survived the disruption of the past two years , growth is top of the agenda for enterprises across Australia in 2023 .
With digital now the default mode of operation , the driving forces for growth will be the ability to rapidly analyse data , launch new products and run IT more efficiently .
Unfortunately , the events of the past two years have left organisations with a major hurdle to overcome before they can pursue their growth plans . Necessity dictated that during periods of lockdown , investments in remote work and collaboration technologies were prioritised .
However , this came at the expense of neglecting investments in the assets running the business ’ core infrastructure .
As a result , Australian enterprises have been sweating their core infrastructure assets for years – and there ’ s not much sweat left in them .
With growth the primary aim for next year and beyond , the core IT infrastructure that ’ s now ‘ end of service life ’ will need to be modernised .
