The End of Financial Year (EOFY) is more than a compliance deadline. It’s a strategic window to strengthen your digital foundation and set your business up for long-term success. For IT managers, CIOs, and business leaders, EOFY presents a powerful opportunity to re-evaluate your telecommunications infrastructure, explore timely deals, and implement smart business technology upgrades that improve performance, security, and scalability.

With the right decisions now, you can capitalise on EOFY tax deductions while laying the groundwork for smoother operations in FY26. Here’s how to use this EOFY period to transform your telco strategy with Vocus.

Step One: Audit Your Current Setup

Start with a clear-eyed review of what you have in place. Are your current telco services aligned with your business model today, or are they stuck in yesterday’s framework?

Begin by assessing your internet performance. Can your current plan support a modern, cloud-first workflow, one that depends on large file sharing, real-time collaboration, video conferencing, and software-as-a-service platforms? If you’re noticing bottlenecks, dropouts, or sluggish speeds, it might be time to explore an upgrade to high-speed business internet or enterprise-grade connectivity.

Next, look at your network security posture. As your digital footprint expands, so do your vulnerabilities. If your current firewall is reactive or consumer-grade, you could be at risk. We offer secure network protection through our Managed Firewall series, giving you an enterprise-grade, fully managed firewall without overwhelming your internal IT team.

Finally, consider your internal and external communication systems. Are your tools helping teams work efficiently, or causing friction? Cloud-based communication tools like Vocus Collaborate centralise calling, messaging, and video, improving productivity across locations and remote environments.

Step Two: Define Your Priorities for FY26

EOFY isn’t just about savings, it’s about aligning your infrastructure with your next stage of growth. Ask yourself: what will your business need 6, 12, or 18 months from now?

• Bandwidth is the first hurdle. As digital operations intensify, demands on your network grow too. Whether it’s cloud-based software, virtual desktops, or AI-powered platforms, you’ll need faster, more reliable connectivity to keep up.

• Cybersecurity is also a top priority. With cyber threats increasing in frequency and complexity, passive protection is no longer enough.

Then there’s the way your team communicates. Whether you’ve adopted a hybrid model or operate across multiple locations, outdated systems can slow everything down.

And don’t overlook business continuity planning. EOFY is the perfect time to ask: if disaster struck tomorrow, do you have a redundancy connection in your current telco setup that keeps your business connected?

Step Three: Look Beyond the Discount

Every telco runs EOFY promotions, but true value lies beneath the price tag. Performance, reliability, and support are what drive ROI.

With Vocus, you’re not just getting a deal. You’re investing in scalable business solutions backed by dedicated account management, a high-performance network, and a customer support team that understands the pressure of running a business.
