The performance of telecom/IT systems and increasing reliance on data means that inadequacies within a network can lead to expensive business costs. This article examines the Citrix-sponsored research by Tech Research Asia and discusses how these expenses can be minimized. It highlights that poor network connectivity is costing Australian companies an average of 71 hours of lost productivity per employee, per year. Estimating that a company with 50 employees would have a total cost per year equating to $144,563.

Firms in New Zealand fared only slightly better with an average productivity loss of $NZ66,399 per year for the same sized enterprise. The study found that 23% of outages affected Australian companies’ revenue source, and in New Zealand, 47% of the companies surveyed said that network issues impacted only 14% of their revenue streams.

There are other locations in the world where the situation is far worse. In certain areas, network size is limited, latency is a big problem, and packet loss is huge. Often bandwidth is still extremely expensive and therefore it is a precious commodity. Therefore, companies need to be able to utilize the bandwidth they do have to the optimum.

Put your finger network inadequacies today to accelerate your data.
