Infrastructure Leaders from AMP and Macquarie Group debate key strategies and common challenges around architecting an interconnected and agile digital infrastructure for hybrid workloads.

For 150 major IT, compute and cloud users, the biggest business challenge they’ve told ADAPT they have is attracting and retaining talent.

Talent will drive modernisation, which will create tech-fueled growth for the organisation.

  • Without the right internal capabilities, it will cost you twice as much to run and capture the value of cloud
  • Gender diversity sits at 25% of women in technology
  • Develop staff with both technical understanding and legacy systems knowledge
