Technological innovation is reshaping business competition rules. Yesterday’s successful strategies may not be enough for tomorrow’s challenges and businesses must adapt to the next wave of advancements, from quantum computing to industry-specific artificial intelligence (AI) solutions. Logicalis Australia has identified seven key trends for organisations to stay ahead in 2025.

In 2023, Logicalis made a commitment to playing a proactive role in environmental sustainability by partnering with Carbon Positive Australia to restore land and biodiversity across the country. As part of our sustainability pledge, for every badge scanned at our events and for every attendee at our exclusive events, we fund the planting of native trees throughout Australia. This initiative has resulted in the planting of over 2,700 native trees, helping to offset carbon while supporting habitat restoration and biodiversity.

Last month, our global CEO, Bob Bailkoski, visited Sydney and Melbourne for the final two events on the global CIO Summit Roadshow. In his keynote, Bob reflected on a decade of the Logicalis CIO Report, tracing the journey from 2014's "shadow IT" to today's complex landscape of technological growth, cybersecurity, and increasing regulatory and sustainability demands.

In today’s interconnected world, service outages can have serious repercussions for any organisation, affecting operations, customer trust, and even compliance with regulations. Without a clear plan, teams may make rushed decisions under pressure, leading to greater disruptions or prolonged recovery times.

Balancing risk with digital innovation is a critical priority for government departments, agencies, and organisations as they navigate the complexities of digital transformation.

Logicalis Australia is thrilled to have been named FY24 Dell Technologies Asia Pacific and Japan (APJ) Channel Services Partner of the Year and also recognised as the Top Performer of the Year – Solution Provider.

The potential of AI is vast, offering opportunities to enhance efficiency, drive innovation, and reshape entire sectors.

I recently attended Gartner Symposium 2024 on the Gold Coast, with Logicalis Australia there in force over the three days to build our brand and have plenty of engaging conversations with customers and prospects.

From September 9th to 11th, the Gartner IT Symposium on the Gold Coast brought together over 2,000 IT professionals, including a large contingent from Logicalis Australia.
