Seven Major Challenges Impeding Digital Acceleration
In today’s digital marketplace, speed and availability are essential. Organizations turn to digital acceleration to remain competitive, trading their legacy systems for hybrid networks and digital processes, including cloud and business-application adoption. The success of this transition, both in terms of customer satisfaction and user productivity, is delivering the most sweeping transformation of business networks in 40 years.
Today’s digital acceleration enables organizations to roll out new products and services faster, streamlining time to market, and optimizing user experience. The ongoing objective is to establish and maintain market differentiation by improving processes faster than competitors, allowing organizations to improve efficiency.
To build processes and systems that will help organizations do more, faster, traditionally separate networks must converge to create highly efficient hybrid environments. This includes:
- Seamlessly tying physical campus and data center networks to private and public cloud environments
- Interconnecting branch offices
- Providing ubiquitous access to the rapidly growing number of remote users
These hybrid, dynamic environments allow information technology (IT) teams to create fast lanes for building, implementing, interconnecting, and managing critical technologies and processes, whether internal or external. To do this, organizations must overcome a number of challenges.
