There are still businesses relying on a single network to run their operations. This is often because they underestimate the impact of an unexpected internet outage or data breach on their business and their bottom line.
The problem is unexpected and unplanned downtimes cost businesses up to $9,000 per minute, however, many are unaware there is a cost effective way to address this issue and protect their business operations.
The internet is the backbone of business operations. If it’s not reliable, you run the risk of being unable to operate - sometimes for days at a time.
The major reason you need an extra internet connection is because keeping a dedicated network used for sensitive data separate, from a network with public data, can reduce damaging data breaches. Companies that have multiple endpoints on their network can have more security risks. If you have visitors that connect to your company Wi-Fi, their unknown devices can pose a risk to your server if it is connected to the same network. When you use two ISPs, you can segment your traffic, putting devices holding sensitive information on one ISP connection and guests and less secure devices on the other ISP connection.Separation of traffic helps keep data protected from hackers or malware that may be coming from a less secure device.It’s a fool-proof way to reduce costly slowdowns or stop-works caused by outages or breaches - this is especially important when you are trying to maintain productivity across your business. With any downtime you are likely to be incurring costs while unable to drive your revenue and as a result impacting your business’ reputation.
Not only are marketing agencies responsible for running their own businesses but helping their clients achieve their business goals is at the core of the value they offer. Besides managing and communicating with multiple clients at once, marketing agencies actually have to be ready for crisis management and responding to real-time campaign optimisation. Clients trust their agency to be operational and provide a high level of service, whether that is real-time data management, media buying through to workflow management and communication via the cloud.
If your network glitches, you can end up losing money - not just yours but your clients', too. This is why you need a dedicated internet connection so that you can stay connected with your clients and be ready to take up any challenge head-on.
