Because the business environment is changing rapidly, benchmarking is recommended once a year, to know where you stand against the moving market. For A/NZ organisations, ADAPT’s benchmarking is much more popular because it is 100% focused on Australia and New Zealand CIOs and CxOs and their challenges. Moreover, benchmarking data from different sources gives you a more balanced view of your organisation’s IT maturity, helping you make better decisions.

Benchmarking is a great way to baseline your current IT maturity, so you can set realistic expectations, and measure your progress during the year. ADAPT’s clients typically use benchmarking before launching their digital transformation initiatives and redo it after project completion to measure the results and report them to the board.

We cover eleven different sectors, such as mining and utilities, professional services, financial services, media, hospitality and entertainment, government, education, IT and telecom, logistics and transportation, industrials and manufacturing, construction and engineering and healthcare.

The benchmark covers nine different technology areas such as people, back-office applications, infrastructure, customer applications and portals, IT services, security, digital workplace, remediation, and innovation.

Yes, we cover AI readiness as part of the IT budget allocation and resourcing benchmark. And we even offer a dedicated benchmarking report on data and AI readiness.

We bucket participating organisations into four sizes: small/medium corporate (1-500 employees), mid-market (501 to 2500 employees), enterprise (2501 to 10,000 employees), and large enterprise (>10,000 employees).

The full assessment typically takes around 15-30 minutes to complete, depending on your organisation’s complexity and the level of detail you provide.

After completing the survey, you can expect to receive your personalised benchmark report within 1-2 weeks. This includes data-driven insights tailored to your organisation’s IT maturity.

You will not be asked to share sensitive or proprietary data. All responses are kept confidential, and we operate under strict data protection policies to ensure your information is secure.

We offer a range of services to equip executive teams with the insight, alignment, and support they need to lead technology and business change across the organisation with greater speed, less risk, and a deeper understanding of the A/NZ market.

Clients get access to a library of local IT research, benchmarking reports, community insights & events, strategic advisors and implementation partners.
