When you need immediate and reliable access to your tools and data, there's no time to wait on slow, buffering internet. Unfortunately, internet access continues to be one of the top reasons for business downtime.

What’s the fix? Fiber internet.

When installed correctly, fiber provides over 99.99% uptime. It’s reliability, high bandwidth and symmetric upload and download speeds make it highly valuable to companies working in the cloud and with remote workforces.

Organizations today are facing an extraordinarily risky cybersecurity landscape. These threats can cripple their productivity and cost hundreds of thousands of dollars to recover. “Now more than ever, it’s critical to ensure your business's defenses are at full strength,” said Conrad Bell, Chief Information Security Officer at C Spire.

When your internet is down, every minute counts. Without connectivity, your business-critical processes in the cloud are on hold and your employees less productive. Troubleshooting the cause of a lost or slow connection can be tricky, though. Is the internet really down or is there an issue with a firewall or a switch? Maybe a wireless access point or an ethernet cable has gone bad. 

Not so long ago, employees worked under one roof. They collaborated on projects in person and when they called a client, it was from a desk phone - not a personal mobile phone that risked exposing their private information.

But not anymore. All of that changed with the Covid-19 pandemic.

Emerging technologies are helping businesses reach goals in big ways.

Research shows that organizations using technologies such as artificial intelligence (AI), virtual reality (VR), and Internet of Things (IoT) have increased their annual revenue by 58 percent. Financial companies using AI reported a 33 percent improvement in productivity and 37 percent reduction in errors after automating manual processes. And incorporating IoT data into supply chain workflows shortened order fulfillment time by about six days.

The internet is arguably an organization’s most important communication tool. Consider all the ways you rely on it each day. From checking emails and attending video calls to accessing the VPN and uploading/downloading files – the internet is the backbone of business processes.
