5 Challenges for SMEs to Provide Reliable Connections
Apart from the question of costs, on its official website, Aruba reveals five significant challenges that are often faced by SMEs to provide a reliable connection.
Connectivity
Employees often complain about connectivity because the network speed is slow and unstable. Small and medium scale businesses face connectivity problems because more users with more throughput and more online applications with limited resources. In fact, a fast network is needed by employees to get the job done.
Limited IT Staff
SME businesses apply the assumption that fewer employees can do more work. This assumption is based on that every SME business only has a limited number of staff. Historically, SMBs that are fully technology-adopted have averaged twice as much revenue per employee.
Scalability
Scalability is a must, and the SME business is no exception. Reliable connections can reduce downtime, loss of revenue, optimization, to reduce investment in hardware and software. A well-managed network enables SME businesses to reduce IT burden and overhead expenses.
Security Protection
The Aruba survey reports that to prevent cyber-attacks, around 76% of respondents use firewalls, 72% use endpoint security, and 57% use security solutions from service providers. IT professionals are aware that networks are vulnerable to a variety of threats, including insiders, hackers, malicious code, and others. Make sure to protect your most important assets and only authorized people can access sensitive information.
Professional Support
Limited staff means that SMEs do not have enough time to manage the network. Professional support is urgently needed so that SMEs can focus on developing their business, without grappling with matters of technology development.
