By 2025, 36.2 million Americans will be remote—an increase of 16.8 million people from pre-pandemic rates.1 Organizations are being asked to evaluate how best to connect and secure their offices, users and resources.
Legacy infrastructures—built from siloed tools that don’t interoperate—fail to support today’s needs for remote collaboration and uninterrupted experiences. Customers don’t accept “usually” or “almost” as an adequate level of service, and employees increasingly require access to applications and services anytime, anywhere and via any device.
Then there’s the upkeep. Aging infrastructures are becoming far too expensive and complicated for organizations to maintain. As a result, vendors that provide Time Division Multiplexing (TDM) technologies—such as POTs, PRI T1s and data T1 circuits—are raising prices and decommissioning services as they reach their end of life.
The time has come for enterprise IT departments to transform their networking strategies by switching to modern, IP-based solutions that support the growing demand for cloud-based apps, achieve business continuity and avoid the risk of downtime and lost productivity.
By converting legacy access technology to more efficient, IP-enabled solutions—including Software-Defined Wide Area Network (SD-WAN) and Unified Communications as a Service (UCaaS)—organizations will experience the following benefits:
