Mind the Gap - How application delays affect company performance

In an innovation-powered economy, ideas need to travel at the speed of thought. Yet even as our ability to communicate across companies and time zones grows rapidly, people remain frustrated by downtime and unanticipated delays across the increasingly complex grid of cloud-based infrastructure, data networks, storage systems, and servers that power our work.

This App-Data Gap represents a significant problem in the business world. A new survey of nearly 3,000 IT professionals and business users based in the U.S., Germany, the UK, Australia, and Southeast Asia demonstrates its scope and scale around the world. Worse, IT professionals don’t seem to be aware of the magnitude of the problems residing within their own companies, allowing the small delays from the App-Data Gap to add up to big headaches.
