The Role of Dedicated Ethernet in digital transformation


Get yourself a digital-native network

If enterprises are going to deliver the personalised, real-time user experiences today’s customers and employees want, they’ll need to digitally transform their business. To become sufficiently agile and flexible, they’ll need to adopt new technology and solutions, removing their reliance on physical hardware and locations.

The starting point for all this is the network, the foundation of digital transformation. With the right network to support them, technologies like cloud, Big Data, mobility, IoT, and artificial intelligence can operate at their full potential.

Many enterprises have already started their journey – they’ve moved from strategy to execution – with IDC expecting 75% of European organisations to have transformed into digital-native enterprises by 2027.

These digital-native enterprises will depend on high-performance connectivity – and that’s exactly what Dedicated Ethernet delivers.
