AIIA Tech Index: Australia’s first Australian Tech Index launched to measure buying sentiment

The Australian Information Industry Association (AIIA) has partnered with Info-Tech Research Group (ITRG) to develop Australia’s first technology index that looks across the Australian economy to understand purchasing and investment intentions around technology. This will be a vital resource for executives in the ICT sector responsible for managing people, budgets and understanding where customers will be investing their technology budgets over the short and medium term.

The AIIA Tech Index measures the buying sentiment for Australia’s IT sector, illuminating areas of opportunities for major procurement and tender opportunities across the whole of economy including government.

The Index tracks a representative group of IT decision makers from various industries, company sizes, and budget sizes to understand how they plan to build and improve upon IT capabilities that will support the business bi-annually. This first report sets the benchmark for future comparison and future data will be incorporated into an index to track the progress of digital transformation and investment in Australia.
