Network complexities delay business system improvements by nearly a month and negatively affect the majority of businesses according to a recent Avaya survey.
The Avaya survey showed that companies wait almost a month (27 days) - most of the time on a maintenance window - before they can make a significant improvement to a business system.
At an average of 10 changes a year, businesses can wait up to nine months for improvements that can help their company grow, increase employee and sales productivity and improve business analysis.
Avaya has simplified network infrastructures with Fabric Connect technology driving the Automated Campus, which now extends to the wireless edge with the introduction of a new series of Wireless LAN solutions.
Avaya Fabric Connect automatically configures the distribution and core switches, so IT personnel need only configure edge devices.
Avaya's Fabric Connect now extends to the new Wireless LAN 9100 series for zero-touch provisioning of access points and edge-only provisioning of services.
Simon Culmer, Managing Director, Avaya UK, said: "We find that IT departments go to impressive measures to mitigate risk. The maintenance window model of the 80s is methodical and precise. We have no issue with the process, but what we have done is remove the reason for the model."
