Today's challenges
In this fast-changing world, moving to the cloud is more mission-critical than ever, but without a robust cloud connectivity strategy, your organisation faces risks along the way:
1. Your cloud is only as strong as your network
59% of businesses reported security as their top cloud migration challenge, followed by reliable connectivity (48%) and system downtime (43%).¹
2. Traditional networks can't keep up with cloud
You need cloud resources fast, but traditional provisioning times can take as long as 90 days. Enterprises reported that cloud project delays cost them up to £100k a month on average.¹
