Written by Zones | Jun 25, 2024 3:43:02 PM

Introduction

In today's fast-moving and technology-oriented business environment, the IT infrastructure is what supports an organization's success. Modern network systems and applications, an evolving hybrid working culture, and a shortage of skilled IT teams are hindrances to the technological transformation of the business.

As companies move toward remote and hybrid work environments, it is becoming challenging for employees to collaborate, which has a direct impact on the end-user experience. According to TechTarget’s Enterprise Strategy Group research, 53% of respondents believe that their end-to-end IT environments are more complex than in previous years. The main factors contributing to this complexity are the hybrid work culture, evolving cyber threat landscape, and an increase in endpoint devices.

Modernize IT for Dynamic Business Conditions

The demand for dependable and secure network connections is critical for highly distributed environments where on-premises data centers, campus locations, and remote and branch locations can be directly accessed by application traffic and its related data. Organizations must also support the deployment of devices at campus or edge locations to enable data collection and analysis to generate near-real-time insights for the business.

Also, as IT teams work within budget and staffing limits, organizations are focusing on digital transformation to enhance IT efficiency. To achieve success, the modernization of various aspects—security, network infrastructure, SD-WAN, collaboration tech, and observability—is crucial.

An organization must rapidly modernize its network environment and service. However, managing and maintaining this critical system can be daunting, often diverting valuable resources from core business objectives. This is where Zones, in partnership with Cisco, steps in to revolutionize your IT operations.
