STEPS TO BEGIN YOUR NETWORK MODERNISATION JOURNEY
A network operates much like any digital device and over time becomes unable to run the latest applications or install necessary updates. Similarly, network infrastructure follows a lifecycle that requires modernisation. However, unlike a simple phone upgrade, the stakes involved in refreshing a network are significantly higher says Gary Middleton at NTT DATA.
An organisation ' s network infrastructure is a vital asset that supports business operations. But, like an aging bridge, it might be bearing increasing traffic loads while showing worrisome signs of wear. CIOs or technology leaders agree that their network assets are aging yet struggle to define the network-related outcomes they need and features they should focus on.
All digital initiatives – from employee and customer experience improvements to operational efficiency programs – rely on a robust, modern network. The rapid pace of change in business, technology and user expectations and changes is confirming that network modernisation is unavoidable.
In 2025, operating on outdated infrastructure is not just risky – it is potentially holding your business back.
AI workloads, IoT devices and hybrid work environments are now pushing legacy networks to their limits. For instance, Generative AI workloads demand increasingly higher-performance network connectivity. While these workloads still make up a small percentage of overall enterprise computing resources, dramatic growth is expected.
