ICT usage in enterprises

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 topics such as internet use, e-commerce sales, cloud services, data analytics or artificial intelligence.

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. Austrian results are available in autumn of the respective survey year, EU-wide results at the end of the year.

The Federal Chancellery (BKA) and the Statistical Office of the European Union (Eurostat) commissioned Statistics Austria to carry out the survey on ICT usage in enterprises. The survey is based on EU regulations that oblige Austria to report annual data on the usage of ICT in enterprises.

The definitions and methodology of the survey have been harmonised across the EU, which means that the results of this survey are comparable across the EU.
