The way businesses operate today revolves around one core element: staying connected. In a world where communication is instant and operations are largely digital, business connectivity solutions form the backbone of efficiency, whether for startups or multinational corporations. Downtime isn’t just an inconvenience; it’s a potential crisis. Productivity halts, employees are disconnected, customers are left frustrated, and revenue streams dry up.
