Statistics Austria carries out an annual survey on the usage of information and communication technologies (ICT) in Austrian enterprises. The scope is limited to enterprises from selected industries with ten or more employees. The focus is on several topics of digitalisation such as internet use, e-commerce sales, cloud services, data analytics, artificial intelligence or ICT security.
As the survey is carried out in every EU member state, important indicators for EU-wide benchmarks can be determined. These indicators are used to monitor the progress of the digital transformation of the economy. It provides meaningful results for EU targets of the Digital Decade, a strategic paper of the European Union. Austrian results are available in autumn of the respective survey year, EU-wide results at the end of the year.
