The Longhaus Australian Tech IndexTM is a quarterly index based on a proprietary model designed to monitor the health of the Australian ICT industry. The model measures activity within the industry across four (4) dimensions: a) demand forces including ICT spending and ICT importing, b) supply factors including influx volume of venture capital (VC) funding, c) strength of vendors indicated by revenue, and workforce size, and d) consumer factors including internet subscription rates. Collectively, these dimensions and their accompanying indicators provide an independent gauge of the state of the ICT industry not currently available to Australian decision makers. By providing calculated weightings to these indicators and incorporating heuristic views from Australian Chief Information Officers, Longhaus is able to provide unique and important insights into the current and future state of the Australian technology economy.
