When should I get a Collaboration Network Readiness Assessment?

Investing in a readiness assessment can seem like a futile task, especially if you're monitoring it every day. However, the truth is that network support and capacity thresholds are often broken from incremental requirement burdens the network has to shoulder. This means teams would perform corrective maintenance on its network, which ultimately cost more in the end and likely create longer network downtime than if preventative maintenance were performed beforehand. Other popular times to invest are outlined in Figure 4.

"Results show that preventative maintenance represents roughly 10 to 30 percent of total maintenance costs as compared to corrective maintenance."
