Mankato, MN -- (SBWIRE) -- 08/06/2014 -- Louise Dickmeyer, President of PDP Solutions cited an important whitepaper titled, “Uncovering the Hidden Costs of Communications Barriers and Latency.” Dickmeyer suggested, “Opening communication provides meaningful information to manufacturing production floor employees.”
Siemens Enterprise Communications Group commissioned a study performed by SIS International Research to quantify these costs to small and medium businesses (SMBs) around the globe. An SMB with 100 employees could be leaking a staggering $524,569 annually as a result of hidden costs associated with communications barriers and latency. Communications barriers and latency impact everyday business process and collaboration. Not addressing these everyday hidden communication costs leads to increased operating costs, unsatisfied customers, and impaired competitive advantage.
Key findings from the study include:
- SMBs and LEs experience similar hidden communication costs
- Communications barriers and latency are widespread and costly
- Addressing communications inefficiencies is a high priority for SMBs
- Evolving business environment is driving mobility among SMBs
- SMB mobility is driving the need for improved communications solutions
- Fragmented and varied technologies limit communications efficiency
- Unified communications is taking root with SMBs
