The last year has taught enterprises worldwide something they should have realized all along. Networks don’t connect sites any longer, they connect people. This makes the network experience more important than ever before.
Networks don’t deliver “traffic,” they deliver experiences. How can a network do any of that if it can’t know who you are or what you’re doing? It can’t, and that means that we have to rethink how we do networks. The right place to start is with why experiences matter. Productivity isn’t generated by traffic, but by the delivery of actionable information.
Government statistics and CIMI Corporation research show that about 40% of workers use IT resources in some way, and that a third of all workers use them regularly. New technologies for empowering these workers has generated every major wave of IT spending since the dawn of the computer age, so it’s certain that empowerment goals will drive future technologies as well. In modern times, empowerment has been delivered through networks.
Whether they’re in headquarters locations, branch offices, and even now at home, empowered workers are the engine that justifies communications. It’s ironic that, in a network sense, we know nothing about them. We should, because what they do and how they do it is critical to ensuring that the network really delivers on its information and empowerment promise.
Learn more about how network practices are shifting, how workers are handling the change, and why an assured network experience is more important than ever in this special report by CIMI Corporation in partnership with Juniper Networks.
