Interconnectivity is crucial for modern businesses, enhancing digital transformation and operational efficiency. By 2028, digital revenue will dominate, making robust interconnectivity essential. Key benefits include seamless data access, improved collaboration, and integration with partner networks. Effective interconnectivity drives productivity, competitiveness, and innovation, while poor connectivity hampers business operations. Critical factors for successful interconnectivity include strategic location, ease of use, flexibility, trust, and cost optimization. Embracing these elements ensures businesses thrive in the digital economy, leveraging network-as-a-service solutions for sustained success.

Several key trends from the data economy to security and sustainability are impacting businesses in 2025. Many of these trends are not only driving innovation but also redefining how businesses operate and interact with their environments. Here is a a look at the top three trends we see dominating the telecommunications industry and Irish businesses this year.

According to a recent study, 86% of multinational corporations regard sustainability as the most important factor for top level decision-making. Indeed, over 3,900 companies have now formally committed to clear carbon reduction targets for measuring and reducing CO2 emissions.

From site to cloud and cloud to cloud: redefining connectivity with Network-as-a-Service

Global commitments to realising net zero are driving a rethink on what represents ‘business value’ – what could this look like for organisations?

As 2023 comes to an end, we wanted to take a look back at some of the innovative technology and hot topics that have been in the spotlight over the last 12 months.

Organisations committed to science-based net zero targets need to minimise the impact of their digital network infrastructure as demands for data and AI grow.

For cloud-centric organisations, optimising the costs of compute, storage and traffic across the network and cloud platforms is becoming increasingly important.

Delivering the operational flexibility that traditional networks can’t

Tighter integration between network and security is critical and needs careful planning to meeting the extra challenges that come from operating in a multi-cloud environment.

Traditional network architectures are failing to support organisations reaching for a cloud-first strategy. Now, Global Fabric makes a cloud-centric future possible.

Now apps are critical to organisations’ fundamental functioning, innovation and changing goals, application performance and resilience are priorities. But current networks are struggling.
