Network management overlooked in IT planning
Network management is often overlooked during IT strategy planning, meaning installations fail to reach their potential, a new survey has revealed.
A study of 235 organisations, carried out on behalf of networking and communications integrator Kcom, showed that just 42 per cent of corporate networks run at optimal performance levels.
Furthermore, four out of every ten respondents indicated that their organisation lacked a clearly-defined process for considering the network when implementing new applications.
Kcom's findings also revealed that less than half of key decision makers made provision for the impact of new businesses strategies on the network.
Paul Renucci, Kcom group executive director, emphasised the key role that IT network professionals had to play in addressing the issues.
"While IT has an unprecedented opportunity to deliver true value to the business in this period of economic recovery, best-laid plans for new processes and applications ultimately rely on a sound network foundation," he said.
Based in Hull, Kcom was floated as a public limited company in 1999.
