Long gone are the days that IT departments are secluded to the basement or some non-descript room in the back-corner of the office, with little say or impact on the fundamental goals of the business.  No, today IT solutions and overarching IT strategies has an enormous impact on business’ core goals; this includes one mission-critical goal of every business: creating and maintaining a loyal customer base.

With the dramatic increase in digital and mobile engagement, the challenge of meeting customer expectations has evolved significantly.  New demands are now placed on the business to stay competitive and profitable.  Not only do IT technologies, in particular IT networking solutions, need to optimize the key operations of the business they have must also deliver personalized, value-added experiences to their customers during their visit or stay in a physical location or venue.

How do you build and maintain a quality customer experience? What are the key network challenges facing IT staff today?
