DISCOVER THE DIFFERENCE

RETAIL IT NETWORKING CHALLENGES

Distributed Locations. Ensuring quality of service of applications that contributes to happy customers improved revenue is a challenge for centrally located IT staff. They must be able to prevent issues before they happen.
Different Management Tools. Numerous tools to manage WAN and LAN are challenging. They are seeking streamlined solutions that merge networking and security capabilities.
IoT Enabled Environments . Supporting new initiatives (robotics, inventory cameras, shelf labels, kiosks, interactive mirrors, etc.) means more IoT which means more vulnerabilities to security breaches. IT staff needs to feel confident that their business is secure.
Providing data and insights to the business. More than ever, IT is being asked to provide data and other insights to the business. This includes space utilization, network access information, and opt-in personal information that can help drive better experiences and customer loyalty.
