Connectivity is the key to successful AI integration for APAC enterprises
The adoption of AI technologies is rapidly increasing across Asia-Pacific (APAC). Throughout 2024, enterprises across almost all sectors, and of all shapes and sizes, trialed and implemented new AI solutions. All in a bid to streamline operations, enhance productivity, and ultimately improve end products and services. However, amid this boom of new AI tools being deployed, it’s become apparent just how key having robust AI network connectivity is to the success of these deployments.
AI tools typically generate vast amounts of data. This means that high levels of application performance and reliable connectivity to data centers are always required. Slow or sluggish network performance can significantly hinder the uptake of AI technologies. As a result, this can leave organizations without some of the expected benefits that these tools can bring. Expereo’s 2024 Enterprise Horizons research found that APAC tech leaders identified network performance, including latency and application responsiveness, as the top challenge to enterprise-wide AI implementation.
Therefore, when planning to deploy AI solutions, it is crucial for CIOs to consider their existing network infrastructure and the likely application performance in data-intensive environments. Our research found that just under a quarter (23%) of APAC businesses believe their current network connectivity cannot support large amounts of data from AI projects. This is why investment in the network infrastructure itself - and application performance - alongside continued investments in AI tools is so vital. A failure to do so could lead to an outdated network being unable to cope with high demand. As well as organizations failing to realize the benefits of AI to drive their operations forward.
Another major consideration is network visibility. Nearly half of APAC enterprises recognize that insufficient insight into network health and performance is a critical pain point. Without the right monitoring tools, organizations may struggle to detect and resolve network bottlenecks that could impact AI-powered workflows. Network visibility solutions, such as expereoOne, empower enterprises with site-level performance monitoring, enabling proactive optimization of AI network connectivity.
As AI becomes central to business strategies, CIOs must:
- Prioritize network investments that enhance AI network connectivity.
- Ensure high-performance application responsiveness.
- Provide end-to-end visibility.
By strengthening network infrastructure, enterprises can unlock AI’s full potential: driving innovation, efficiency, and competitive advantage across APAC.
With the right connectivity strategy in place, APAC businesses can ensure their AI investments deliver maximum value. Setting the stage for future-proof digital transformation.
