The challenges of digital transformation for retail businesses<\/h2>\n

\n<\/div>

For all retail businesses today, staying current with the latest digital trends is essential for remaining competitive. It may be by adopting in-store digital signage<\/a>, click-and-collect smart lockers<\/a> or smart customer Wi-Fi<\/a> to ensure ease and engagement for your customers\u2019 visits or to support a seamless transition between online and in-store experiences. Perhaps you are integrating IoT technology and SaaS into your operational processes to monitor aspects such as stock levels, product life cycles or customer behaviours and optimise activity.<\/p>\n

While new digital technology supports retail enterprises in improving their customer experience and maximising sales, it also presents two significant challenges: network performance and security.<\/p>\n

Why digital applications can impede network performance<\/h3>\n

Smart technology, IoT and SaaS are excellent tools for enhancing the customer experience, but they can put a strain on the network.<\/p>\n<\/div>

\n Many retail businesses may have integrated these applications organically, accessing them via multiple public or private clouds without the network architecture to support optimal performance. Their complexity and data-intensive processes require greater bandwidth, which can lead to congested network traffic and reduced performance across your applications.\n<\/p>\n

\n The concerns around cybersecurity
\n<\/h3>\n

\n As more digital devices require access points to your network, opportunities for cyber-attacks increase. This concern is compounded by the rise in remote and hybrid working practices, with employees using unsecured home networks or personal devices to access your applications. Cyber-criminals are exploiting these changes to create data breaches that can cause a resounding impact on your business.\n<\/p>\n

\n Hughes Managed SASE for retail offers an innovative solution that ensures optimum availability, performance and security for your network regardless of where your users require access.\n<\/p>\n

\n Our Managed SASE (Secure Access Service Edge) solution<\/a> brings together industry-leading performance and security software to provide a single, unified cloud service that takes care of the challenges faced by today\u2019s distributed retail enterprises.\n<\/p>\n
