My colleague wrote about how successful user adoption strategies involve easy-to-use technology, personal benefits that are clear for every user and plenty of training and on-boarding.

While these are crucial for rapid ROI and long-term business success, there’s also the acute need for solutions to work flawlessly long after they have been installed.

This becomes more difficult the longer any solution is active in the workplace and the longer its lifespan.

More often than not, this support responsibility falls to IT, facilities managers and helpdesk staff. These unsung heroes endure the technical headaches and repetitive troubleshooting requests, all the while planning how to scale solutions in line with business growth, keep costs manageable and ensure problems can be resolved quickly and efficiently.

Despite their best efforts, there’s only a finite amount of time each day and even the most highly qualified, experienced team is limited by the number of current and prospective technical issues it can monitor, track and solve.

Another challenge lies in the fact that workforces are reliant on digital applications and the network. Business leaders have limited patience too. They, like everyone else in a company, benefit from a smooth-running collaboration estate as reliable collaboration equals higher productivity, faster decision-making and greater competitive advantage.

Now, there are many ways to ensure reliability and availability but if you have a Cisco ecosystem then one of the most valuable is Cisco Smart Net.
