How a Network Audit Can Be Your Most Valuable Tool for Greater Network Efficiency

Does your organization have the good fortune of having an in-house IT department? More likely than not, even if you do, your department has maybe a couple of technicians at most, and they are all up to their ears in work, whether it’s keeping up with maintenance or struggling to implement new and innovative solutions. If you’re looking for ways to upgrade your organizational IT infrastructure, we recommend you start with a network audit to determine what needs to be done (and how we can help you do it).

A network audit can bring to light parts of your infrastructure that are working as intended while exposing the parts that need some work. Today, we want to share why a network audit can be a big deal for your business and what you stand to gain from one.

You’ll Learn More About How to Improve Your Network

Your network is what powers your business, but what works for one company won’t be the same as the next. A network audit can help you make adjustments to your network based on your unique circumstances. If you haven’t set up your network in a way that makes sense for your business, an audit will tell you what you can do to improve it (like, for example, identifying and eliminating bottlenecks and other inefficiencies).

You’ll Prevent Major Hardware-Related Problems

Hardware replacements are one of those parts of running a business that you know you need, but you never look forward to it—mostly because of the hefty price tag associated with it. If you haven’t upgraded your hardware in a while, you could be sitting on a ticking time bomb without even knowing. If you’re not paying attention, you might not see the little hints and details that something is not all right with your workstations and servers, but a network audit can bring these issues into the spotlight so you can address them.

You’ll Identify and Address Security Issues

Software is difficult to keep up with, especially where security patches and updates are concerned. You need these updates to ensure you stay ahead of today’s vulnerabilities and developing threats. That said, it’s not always so simple, and your company has limited time and resources to address these security issues in a proactive way. A network audit can help you stay on top of these patches and updates.
