The IT network is an integral part of a business that plays a crucial role in ensuring employee productivity, partner relations, and customer interactions. A well-functioning network can positively impact the bottom line of a business by facilitating sales, billing, order fulfillment, and customer communication. However, when network performance problems occur, they can have a far-reaching impact across the entire business.
If the IT network experiences slowdowns or complete outages, it can result in direct costs, such as lost sales, which can directly impact the financial health of the business. Moreover, poor network performance can also result in intangible costs, such as lost productivity or customer loyalty.
Despite the significance of network performance, poor performance issues are a daily occurrence. When network performance issues occur, it can lead to a significant decline in the productivity of employees, thereby negatively affecting the overall performance of the business. Similarly, when customer communication is disrupted or delayed, it can lead to reduced customer satisfaction, and in the long run, customer loyalty.
