Is your network infrastructure agile enough to deal with requests from ‘line of business’ management?

Towards a more responsive network architecture

August 25, 2016 10:00 am GMT

What kind of impact is digital disruption likely to have on your business? If you’re like other large organisations running on ageing and hierarchical network infrastructures, you might struggle with the agility and scalability required to keep pace with business demand. You might be seeing a rise in shadow IT as a result. Which will probably lead to both increased complexity and the very real risk that IT loses credibility as a provider of business value. Disruption is tough.

And with a recent CIO survey suggesting that legacy networks are increasingly turning IT organisations into reactive teams rather than strategic partners, the challenge has never been greater for the CIO. Clearly, a new, more agile approach to the network is needed in order to explore new business models and respond to increased competition; faster, simpler and more responsive, with cloud-like flexibility and adaptability. So how do you get there? Join this roundtable to find out.
