You know it’s a big deal when an entire report drops about how technology is reshaping the way Queensland works — and we’re not just talking about a few new apps or faster Wi-Fi.
The Business Chamber Queensland’s “Digital Future of Work 2025” report is a fascinating snapshot of where we’re heading in Queensland as a State. Spoiler alert: we’re heading straight into an era where AI, secure online systems, and flexible learning are no longer “nice-to-have” — they’re the new baseline.
At JPL Media, that’s exactly the space we’ve been building in for years. Almost 20 to be exact.
So, let’s unpack what the report found — and how the tools we already offer (like Mediasite and Snapsight) fit perfectly into this evolving picture.
🤖 AI and Automation: The Rise of “Helpful Tech,” Not “Scary Robots”
According to the report, AI use among Queensland businesses has doubled in the last year — but 73% of companies still admit they’re only scratching the surface of what it can do.
Honestly, we get it. AI can sound intimidating… until you realise it’s basically just your really efficient intern who never sleeps.
That’s where Snapsight comes in. It listens to meetings, presentations or event recordings and automatically turns them into clean transcripts, smart summaries and searchable insights. No extra staff, no extra hours, no mystery algorithms taking over your business — just time saved and ideas captured.
It’s the affordable, no-fuss version of AI that event managers and Queensland businesses have been asking for.
🔐 Cybersecurity: Because No One Likes Surprise Ransomware
One of the report’s best stats? Cyberattacks are down (12% this year, compared to 15% last year). The not-so-great news? Only 10% of businesses feel truly prepared for the next one.
That’s why every system we deploy — from video hosting to our transcription engine — is built on secure, encrypted infrastructure.
We don’t take shortcuts with data. Your training videos, meeting recordings and course content live safely behind permissions and protocols that meet enterprise-level standards.
It’s the peace of mind you should expect, without the enterprise-level price tag.
🌐 Connectivity: Making Sure the “Remote” in Remote Work Actually Works
If you’ve ever tried to stream video from regional Queensland, you’ll know what the report’s talking about when it says connectivity issues still plague almost half of businesses.
That’s why Mediasite has long supported adaptive streaming and offline playback — so you don’t need perfect internet to learn, collaborate, or teach.
Your audience can download training sessions, watch later, or even listen on the go.
No buffering. No “trying to reconnect…” screens. Just smart delivery that works where your team works.
🏡 Hybrid Work: Still Here (and Getting Smarter)
The big takeaway here? Hybrid work isn’t going anywhere. About half of Queensland employees now work from home at least part-time, and most businesses report that productivity hasn’t suffered.
What’s changing is how teams stay connected and informed.
That’s where Mediasite really shines — automatically recording, streaming and archiving meetings, workshops and training sessions so everyone stays in the loop, even if they couldn’t make the live event.
Pair it with Snapsight’s instant takeaways and you’ve got an affordable “always-on memory” for your business — no expensive production team required.
🎓 Digital Skills: The Age of Bite-Sized Learning
The report also highlights something we’ve known for years — businesses are desperate for faster, cheaper ways to upskill.
More than 80% said they want micro-credentials and short, targeted training, not three-year degrees.
That’s exactly what Mediasite was built for.
Record a short session, tag it with a learning objective, upload it, and boom — it’s instantly available for staff anywhere. Add quizzes, discussions and progress tracking if you want to make it fancy.
We like to think of it as your own private YouTube – with data protection, advanced analytics and a dashboard.
💡 The Big Picture: Affordable Tech for Real-World Work
What we love about this report is that it’s not just talking about some distant, futuristic workforce — it’s talking about the here and now.
Queensland businesses want technology that works, is affordable, and makes everyday work easier.
That’s exactly what drives us at JPL Media.
We’ve always believed that great technology shouldn’t require a team of engineers or a six-figure budget. It should just work — and make your day a little smoother.
Whether it’s Mediasite for capturing and sharing knowledge, or Snapsight for turning conversations into insights, we’re proud to already be doing the things this report says are essential for Queensland’s digital future.
So while others are still “preparing for transformation,” we’re already busy helping people live it — one video, transcript, and takeaway at a time.
