BOSTON, MA--(Marketwire - June 10, 2009) - Organizations that maximize the performance and
security of their Wireless LANs can improve the uptime of their Wireless
LAN by 121% while decreasing in incidence of security breaches by 10%,
according to the Aberdeen Group report, "
Wireless LAN 2009: From Network of Convenience to
Business-Critical Infrastructure." The research from
Aberdeen Group, a Harte-Hanks Company
(
NYSE:
HHS) details the business benefits derived from WLAN performance and
security optimization.
The report uncovers how the industry's top performers have transformed
their WLANs from "networks of convenience" to business-critical core
infrastructures that are as resilient and secure as wireline networks, with
enormous potential for future growth and expansion. It describes why
Wireless LAN performance and security management remain critical success
factors that organizations must address if their investment in enterprise
mobility is to be fully realized.
"At an average cost of over $73,000 of lost revenue per minute of network
downtime, organizations are well-advised to pay close attention to the
recommendations for WLAN performance and security optimization as described
in the report," said Andrew Borg, senior research analyst for wireless and
mobility, and author of the Aberdeen Group report. "With almost seven hours
per month per full-time IT employee spent on troubleshooting network
security issues, the economic impact of not addressing these issues is
considerable."
