Lightning-fast ethernet: 3 steps to ensure 10Gb drives ROI for enterprise businesses

As the UK business landscape adapts to an AI and digital media revolution, organisations are increasingly recognising the importance of investing in connectivity that can support increasing demands.
This includes embracing lightning-fast ethernet solutions like 10 Gigabit (10Gb), also known as 10GbE, 10GEthernet and 10Gb business internet. 10Gb is connectivity tech that offers data speeds up to 10 billion bits per second - ten times faster than the traditional Gigabit ethernet standard. It’s really really fast.
However, adopting 10Gb will require some financial investment, and decision makers need to articulate a compelling ROI (return on investment) strategy to justify the cost. Don’t worry, we’re here to help create that ROI argument. Decision makers should consider the following three steps:
Delivering a customer and colleague experience that drives ROI
Can lightning-fast ethernet like 10Gb really improve colleague satisfaction? The answer put simply, is yes.
By ensuring your teams have access to futureproofed technology and seamless connectivity, you empower your workforce to perform at their best, with the instant access to the applications and data they need. This, in turn, has the potential to reduce staff turnover, boost motivation, lower recruitment and onboarding costs, and ultimately drive revenue through increased productivity.
From a customer standpoint, 10Gb leased line connectivity translates to good communication. Whether it’s a complaint or a customer enquiry, constant network availability ensures that conversations and information transfer happen precisely when needed, which in turn can drive customer loyalty and ROI.
Generating ROI through streamlined data sharing:
It sounds simple, but adding power to file sharing across your business can help you generate ROI from your connection, thanks to the following two points:
Resource Efficiency: With a lightning-fast ethernet connection like 10Gb, multiple sites can seamlessly share servers and files while being protected from downtime. This can save on employee time and, again, drive ROI.
Boosting Productivity: For large enterprises with complex IT teams and extensive file-sharing requirements, 10Gb leased lines are a game-changer. These lines ensure that upload and download speeds are mirrored, leading to streamlined collaboration, and enhanced overall efficiency. This means that teams can move faster, improving their productivity and not worrying about the long waits.
Reducing future costs with high-speed business internet
Dedicated high-speed internet comes with a higher price tag compared to other internet solutions. And while 10Gb is at the more expensive end of a leased line solution, it will futureproof your business for years to come. As businesses embrace more cloud-based apps and SaaS, they will need bandwidth that enables them to fully utilise these increasingly essential tools. At some point in the not-too-distant future, we imagine every business will need a leased line and 10Gb to match. Investing now will reduce costs that will arise in the future. Imagine a time when all of your business-critical apps all respond smoothly and instantaneously... that time could be now!
So, there you have it – a 10Gb leased line: your ticket to a futureproofed business. For more information about what 10Gb can offer you, click here to see our product page.
