GEC NEWS WIRERiverbed survey finds 96% of businesses say app performance is critical to business performance, yet 94% say poor app performance negatively affects their work
Riverbed Technology has revealed the results of the Riverbed Global Application Performance Survey 2015, the first global survey of business decision makers on the business impact of application performance. This performance gap is causing a series of problems for companies, from lost revenue and customers to lower morale to negative impact on brand image.
“With apps, data and end users everywhere today, companies need end-to-end application visibility, optimization, and control everywhere as well to close the performance gap. Riverbed helps organizations improve application performance to drive tangible business benefits and performance.” said Jerry M. Kennelly, Chairman and CEO, Riverbed.
In summary, business executives overwhelmingly agree that application performance is critical to business performance and driving results, yet the vast majority are impacted by poor app performance, creating a performance gap. At the same time, business executives are leveraging the power of cloud-based applications and hybrid networks to elevate productivity and create happier, more loyal customers and employees. However, cloud and hybrid environments add complexity and application performance challenges that can also negatively impact business operations, and too often executives feel “in the dark” as to why poor app performance is happening and how to stop it. To deliver superior application performance in today’s hybrid environments, enterprises need a comprehensive solution that provides end-to-end application visibility, optimization and control.
