Network modernization

Transforming your enterprise through network modernization

For the enterprise today, digital transformation is paramount for competitiveness, and modernizing the network is priority #1 in this journey. While digitization takes place throughout the enterprise – at the edge, on endpoints and in Internet of Things (IoT) systems – the network is essential to connecting all these technologies in a digital enterprise. Without network modernization, investments in next-generation hardware and software will not realize their potential.

However, the complexity of managing today’s networks can overwhelm even the most well-resourced IT teams. Massive amounts of data created at the edge must be quickly and securely transmitted to data centers. A myriad of devices connecting to the network leads to a vastly expanded attack surface. Cloud-based communications and productivity applications require greater flexibility when managing bandwidth.

Spectrum Enterprise can help. As a trusted network service provider, we help unlock the full potential of your technology through network modernization. Our broad array of technologies and managed services is powered by a nationwide network, deep expertise and a collaborative approach that can help you meet evolving business needs and accelerate your digital transformation journey.

The benefits of network modernization

Network and IT modernization is a journey rather than an individual milestone. As enterprise IT environments continue to evolve, implementing a strategy for modernizing the network can help your organization realize the most significant benefits of digital transformation.
 

Greater agility
Modern networks support digital transformation by enabling development teams to bring new technologies and applications online faster. In a modernized network, IT teams can implement changes across the network in near-real time to keep up with business demands. From automated technologies to software-defined wide area networks (SD-WANs), new solutions can be more quickly and easily adopted when networks are agile and can change as quickly as innovation requires.
 

Stronger security
Increasingly sophisticated cyberattacks represent significant threats to networks, data, users and companies. New technologies, more devices and an increasingly remote workforce add additional complexity and risk while increasing the maintenance workload for IT teams. Network modernization can strengthen security by providing greater visibility into network components, allowing IT teams to adopt a proactive – rather than reactive – approach to managing security risks.
 

Increase efficiency
Efficiency is the center of most digital transformation initiatives. More efficient network operations can result in reduced operational costs, increased profitability, more sustainable IT and improved quality of service for end users.
