access, processing capability, storage and
transport bandwidth. Such strain is predicted
to rise significantly this year as 5G and the
Internet of Things (IoT) are brought into
the mainstream more. As a result, concerns
of data protection, security and effective
analysis are becoming prevalent within
the industry as organisations struggle to
maintain efficient operation.
Keeping up with current trends on the road
to Digital Transformation is a necessity
for companies to maintain their relevance
among the thousands of competing services.
To offer the best customer experience,
security and performance is critical to retain
customers and their loyalty. Being on the
edge of innovation has only allowed for
heightened anticipation to build among
consumers. Though the potential is there
for cutting-edge services to emerge and
be deployed, there is a lot to lose for the
companies attempting to realise this. Any
inefficiency is a threat to the reputation
and competitive position of any business on
the market, making the upgrade process a
sensitive one.
The costs of having to replace every
component in the network to support a
new, higher-power infrastructure alone,
without the potential for revenue loss
in the process, will be one of the largest
organisational threats. The overhaul of
entire networks will be a lengthy process,
from acquiring the components to installing
them and ensuring that standardised
operations are maintained.
This need to stock different components
with different compatibilities will also put
a strain on IT service levels. The lack of
standardised, simplified processing results in
more complex malfunction diagnosis, repair
and upgrade. Such inefficient methods of
addressing hardware complexities results
in IT service levels suffering under the
increased workload.
