News, views and analysis from the A/NZ tech sector

Hi there,
There’s no need to throw the baby out with the bathwater…
Australian businesses are hungry to modernise operations, transform user experience and embed agility. But meeting those goals and delivering real value requires the right technology to bridge the gap between legacy and ‘modern’ apps.
That’s no doubt fuelling interest in composable ERP strategies – something 93 percent of Australian organisations say they’re now implementing (although we can perhaps qualify that to say 'once it is explained to them').
So what are the benefits and pitfalls organisations are experiencing as they tread the composable path?
We also report this week on the Kiwi tech sector, which is attracting attention not only from Silicon Valley but Australian investors directly and via the ASX. The latter was on the panel at the launch last night of the Investors' Guide to the New Zealand Tech Sector.
This week also sees the debut of a new feature for iStart, expanding our news reach with the re-launch of AppWrap. It’s a section – which the observant will recall from our magazine days – that curates tech news from around the web to keep you abreast of local and global events.
Enjoy the read,
