An organisation’s most important asset is its people. I’d bet 99% of business leaders would tell you that’s true. Yet, many still routinely under equip their workforce with the tools they need. Managers typically look at employee productivity through the lens of whether a job function is adequately performed and how much value that work generates for the company. What they seem to do less often is look at their employees’ capacity to contribute to innovation and growth, says Mark Mader, CEO at Smartsheet.

Networks have been commoditised over the last few years and the cost of connectivity has fallen. Value has shifted from network infrastructure to the services built on top of the network. Enterprises need scalable solutions that offer cloud-native agility, multi-cloud accessibility, and services that can dynamically fluctuate to support digital transformation. This has led to significant interest in the network-as-a-service (NaaS) market. Global technology intelligence firm ABI Research expects this market to expand significantly reaching over US$150 billion (€146.58 billion) by 2030.
