Flexible and efficient connectivity has the potential to transform the way many people work, but by doing so, it has presented a new challenge for organisations that rely on older, more static enterprise networks.

What’s more, developments in consumer connectivity, including 4G mobile signal, high-speed public WiFi and easily accessible fibre-optic broadband at home, means that there is even greater pressure on organisations to deliver the same standard of agility and connectivity in the workplace.

Connectivity solutions for an increasingly flexible, fast-moving and tech-savvy workforce are in demand. Organisations’ networking infrastructure needs to be agile, scalable and highly responsive to enable users to work effortlessly in a virtual office environment, incorporate new applications efficiently and respond seamlessly to a growing business.

Enterprises are now recognising and acknowledging the challenge; 45% of enterprises see ‘limited features in a connectivity service’ as a primary concern for their business with ‘slow setup or change procedures’ coming a close second at 43%. This self-identified need for greater network agility reflects the importance of providing agile, responsive connectivity in a rapidly changing technological landscape.

How Do Organisations Provide Secure, Enterprise Level Solutions That Fulfil the Demands of Their Highly Adaptable, Tech Savvy End Users?

Access to cloud services, as well as a digital workspace journey, are all readily available solutions within Virgin Media Business’ Smart Solutions portfolio. Each product addresses a different challenge, but crucially, they do so in a way that promotes an agile approach to connectivity for end users.

For example, Business Anywhere offers remote and flexible working to your employees without compromising on data security. By using the versatility of SIM-enabled devices, mobile workers have instant, secure access to their corporate network without ever having to set foot in the office.

Similarly, Virgin WiFi gives organisations the ability to provide ultrafast, reliable WiFi for public and corporate spaces, ensuring clients, customers and visitors all benefit from a secure, seamless and high-quality connection. The end result? An agile environment empowering your end users, increasing their productivity, maximising their flexibility and above all, making them happier.

Start with the End User – Unlock the Power of Agile Technology

Each of these agile solutions share a common purpose – to improve the experience of the end user. Technology enables people to work flexibly from home, communicate with colleagues across the globe and access complex applications as if they were at their desks.

It empowers the individual whilst helping organisations increase the collective efficiency and productivity of their workforce. In order to embrace agile technology, organisations must have network infrastructures and connectivity solutions that can match the tech savvy of their users.

The ultimate goal is to provide organisations with solutions that facilitate flexible, secure and scalable networks to help them adopt cloud-based solutions and, above all, give them the agility to satisfy the demands of their end users.
