Australia is a nation of growing businesses. This growth is being accelerated thanks to the rollout of the nbn™ broadband access network, which provides the platform via retail providers for a range of advanced services, applications and technologies that are changing the way Australians do business. The transition to the nbn™ access network represents a very significant opportunity for the ICT industry, and will allow ICT consultants to help business make the most of the opportunities that access to fast broadband enables.
2020 has been a year of severe disruption, which has caused organisations to re-think their entire approach to technology, both in terms of how they use it internally, and how they interact with their customers. This is driving businesses to undertake digital transformation activities as an IT priority.
Integrated Services Digital Network (ISDN) has been operating for more than 20 years in Australia but this technology is now end of life. Earlier this year Telstra ceased sales of ISDN along with a number of copper-based services. Organisations currently using ISDN services are migrating these to alternative solutions that utilise the nbn™ broadband access network as the underlying infrastructure.
