Q: What best describes your top business priorities for FY2015?
• The top priority for organisations is improving profitability by driving top line revenue growth and realising bottom line cost savings.
• In helping to realise cost savings, decision makers are looking to transform organisations to be more productive and efficient. Insights from data play an important role in streamlining business processes and providing tools for workers to be more productive. The key themes for many organisations are cost savings through greater use of data and automation.
• Improving customer experience has been identified as a top driver for cloud computing, with decision makers recognising its impact of the insights it yields on both the top and bottom line (i.e. customer acquisition, management, and retention).

OPEX spending higher than CAPEX, organisations more likely to have an OPEX-driven future
OPEX66%
CAPEX34%
Q: What percentage of your organisation's total annual ICT budget is spent on…
• Telsyte expects the ratio to shift towards OPEX as more suppliers move to “as-a-service” delivery models.
• However, if the transformation and innovation spend level is sustained, Telsyte believes it will be the underlying driver of a hybrid architecture in the medium term in large organisations. In addition, many IT decision makers continue to exhibit preference for outright purchase and ownership of technology. Telsyte has seen this trend in growth areas such as the Internet of things investments, which start on-premises but burst into the cloud as the workload demand increases rapidly.

Q: How is any move to cloud computing likely to impact internal IT support staff?
Telsyte Australian Infrastructure & Cloud Computing Market Study 2015 ; n= 245
• The gap between organisations decreasing and increasing staff due to cloud has narrowed in 2014.
• Both the rate of change within the IT department and within other areas of the business have increased during the past 12 months and nearly one in four CIOs now predict changing roles within the IT department.
• Telsyte research indicates staff reductions will be more dramatic in the 2000+ employee company size which have “fatter” IT infrastructure operations.
