Network technologies have emerged as an important element of an optimized IT infrastructure. Forward-thinking CIOs clearly understand this role. An Accenture study found that 65 percent of surveyed IT executives believe that advanced network technologies can increase productivity, agility and enhance customer service. Further, 73 percent believe that the estimated cost improvement associated with refreshing the network would be 20 percent or greater.
While our research revealed that most organizations recognize the value of a stable and scalable network, the truth is that many still struggle to bring their network vision to life. Building a superior and lower-cost network is a complicated undertaking. It requires a clear strategy for increasing network capacity and resources for designing and deploying new technologies. It also calls for an infrastructure plan for how to accommodate the Web 2.0, wireless, social networking, and Internet protocol-enabled services and applications that are becoming ever more important in business environments.
Additionally, the network needs to keep up with the increased computing power brought by cloud technologies. For large, multinational organizations, the proliferation of decentralized network environments makes the effective and efficient management of network services especially daunting.
Accenture can help businesses in all industries overcome these challenges and establish networks that can enable high performance.
