Komatsu Australia has entered a multi-year, multimillion-dollar partnership with Macquarie Cloud Services (MCS) to modernise and strengthen its cloud infrastructure, as part of its broader digital transformation strategy.
This investment will deliver major enhancements to disaster recovery, data backup, system resilience and overall operational performance. By transitioning to a secure, sovereign cloud environment hosted locally in Australia, Komatsu is improving reliability across its core systems and ensuring stronger data protection and faster recovery capabilities.
The shift to a modern cloud platform also provides the flexibility to scale and respond to evolving operational requirements, supporting Komatsu’s ambitions for growth and continued technology innovation.
“MCS’s proven ability to deliver tailored hybrid cloud solutions aligns perfectly with Komatsu’s technology roadmap,” said John Steele, Chief Information Officer, Komatsu Australia. “We’re investing in a cloud-first future that not only improves our resilience but strengthens our digital foundation and equips us to embrace advanced technologies as the business evolves.”
Delivered by Macquarie’s Australian-based engineering and support teams, the upgraded environment meets strict compliance and data residency standards, while enabling the adoption of real-time analytics, edge computing and AI-driven solutions.
“Komatsu is making the kind of infrastructure decisions that set the foundation for long-term innovation. This partnership is about modernising core systems so they can move faster, stay secure, and scale with confidence,” said Jonathan Staff, Head of Private Cloud at Macquarie Cloud Services. “Together, we’re building an environment that enables innovation, strengthens security, and keeps operations running at their best—all on a sovereign, resilient cloud platform built to evolve with the business.”
