According to 2022 Cisco’s Global Networking Trends Report, 45 per cent of leaders in IT surveyed identified network disruptions as the primary challenge facing networks. Even if there are no interruptions in service, companies must now pay close attention to how customers feel about the network connections they use.

With Cisco’s predictive technology,  technology leaders stop problems before they occur and prevent network operators from outages for a network provider to enhance the customer experience and help improve network performance simultaneously.

“Cisco intends to provide this predictive technology across its product portfolio through integrated, user-friendly software-as-a-service solutions. According to Steyn, “this will make Cisco predictive networks available to businesses of any size and will assist South African organizations in focusing more on growing their business and less on managing network issues.”
