A new report from Amazon Web Services has found that many New Zealand SMEs are only using the most basic of cloud services. Forty percent of organisations with less than 250 staff reported they used services such as web-based email or cloud-based storage, while intermediate and advanced adoption was at 28% and 13% respectively. AWS reported that NZ startups and small and medium sized businesses that embrace cloud-enabled technologies in New Zealand are expected to unlock up to $1.5 billion in annual productivity gains and support 300,000 jobs across the healthcare, education, and agriculture sectors by 2030. However, there are barriers to be overcome, such as concerns about cybersecurity, reluctant organisational cultures, insufficient infrastructure, and a lack of digital cloud skills. The New Zealand government has already begun to implement strategies to address these barriers.
