MALL AND MEDIUM-sized

S enterprises , or SMEs as they are more commonly known , are the backbone of any economy . Businesses of this size are one of the largest creators of jobs and are the cornerstone of investment . However , if they fail to optimise their use of technology and digitally transform their workplaces in the coming years , they will struggle to compete in a hyper competitive marketplace .

According to a report by Aruba , The Hidden Middle : How Medium-Sized Businesses Are Quietly Shaping Our Technological Future , which surveyed over 2,700 employees across small and medium-sized businesses , it discovered that despite being the most active users of workplace technology , many SME employees are worried about the threat of Digital Transformation . Two thirds of employees at medium-sized businesses ( 66 %) said their organisation was ‘ at risk of falling behind competitors ’ if they don ’ t keep up with implementation of new technology . However , in order to effectively keep up with the influx of new technology and devices , SMEs need to integrate the correct network infrastructure to support their business .
Delivering the best Wi-Fi experience is going to be key for SMEs to take the next step in their Digital Transformation journey . As we continue to move towards more and more digital methods of conducting business , having a wireless network which is consistent and seamless , no matter how many devices are connected , is essential . Gone are the days when businesses can rely on a traditional home network to underpin their operations .

DELIVERING THE BEST WI-FI EXPERIENCE IS GOING TO BE KEY FOR SMES TO TAKE THE NEXT STEP IN THEIR DIGITAL TRANSFORMATION JOURNEY .
