Email and productivity platforms used by Australian businesses and individuals including Gmail, Microsoft Outlook, Microsoft 365, Google Workspace, and Slack — complying with Australian Privacy Act obligations.
Email platforms Gmail (Google Workspace) and Microsoft Outlook (Microsoft 365) dominate the Australian business email market. Both offer cloud-based email, calendar, video conferencing, and document collaboration in bundled subscription plans.
Team communication and project management tools Slack, Microsoft Teams, Notion, and Atlassian's Jira and Confluence are widely used by Australian businesses for internal messaging, task management, and documentation.
Australian-specific concerns include data sovereignty — many organisations in regulated industries choose Microsoft 365's Australian data centre regions or Google Workspace's data residency options to keep data onshore.
