No matter what department or functional area within a business, ask any manager and they will agree that any form of downtime ultimately has a negative impact on a company’s bottom line. This, in fact, becomes an even more important issue for retailers, where the ability to process sales is often dependent on a connected point-of-sale system.
In today’s competitive environment, it’s imperative to ensure network connections at distributed enterprises have adequate backup across all locations. Whether it be a retail location, restaurant, kiosk, distribution center or branch office, the order of the day is to maintain continuous connectivity to headquarters, network operations centers and secure payment processors. What’s more, a well-designed solution can do more than assure faultless connectivity – it can also deliver the added value of enabling quick, remote fixes when network troubles occur.
