Critical Success Factors for Network Transformation

About this event

At the centre of human and organisational interaction is data, and it is growing in volume not previously imagined. More critical, it is accelerating in response to business pressures to send data at increasingly faster speeds.

To be competitive and stay relevant, organisations are re-evaluating their technology and seeking alternatives that will enhance agility and increase productivity. Making this a reality is the network – the backbone of digital transformation.

Gartner says in 2023, organizations face historic challenges: A competitive talent landscape, an exhausted workforce, pressure to control costs, and the rise of artificial intelligence and automation. To reap the advantages of this convergence requires a transformational network strategy able to rapidly respond and evolve to meet changing business needs.

A network transformation is a step-by-step approach to reimagining the complete network, including the cloud, WAN, branch, data centre, remote user connection, the use of intelligent automation technologies to enable the efficient and proactive orchestration of all resources to deliver on user demands.
