Why Are Network Maintenance Services Important?

Deidra Peterson Specialist, Vertical Solutions Marketing Published 22 Aug 2018

Your network is no longer just supporting laptops, computers, printers or your run of the mill MP3 players. Now there are high powered security cameras, high volume guest Wi-Fi traffic, patient or customer records, ticket and card readers, and more which require higher bandwidth than in the past. In today’s age of automation and IoT, everything is digital and connected. No organization can survive without the latest infrastructure to support these digital initiatives. They require agile, adaptive, and secure connections to the network. They also need comprehensive support to prevent outages affecting various aspects of the organization.

Real-World Example

In the retail industry, big-box stores are competing with online retailers to keep customers walking in the door, rather than being lost to the conveniences of online shopping. They are transforming the customer shopping experience with new apps, guest Wi-Fi access, and new in-store guest experiences. All in an effort to turn stores into social hubs, create memorable shopping experiences, and differentiate themselves from their online counterparts. Retailers understand that 80% of millennials use their smartphones while shopping and that they need Wi-Fi to turn themselves into social hubs for customers. Any network interruption can immediately affect the customer’s shopping experience making any outage critical.
