KIRKLEES businesses have been urged to take part in the UK’s largest IT and telecoms study.
The state-of-the-nation report commissioned by TalkTalk Business is being conducted with independent research body and IT publisher IDG Global Solutions and aims to provide a unique insight into the state of local firms’ IT and broadband infrastructure.
Businesses of all sizes are being invited to take part in the study via the Talk Talk Business website to help provide a measure on the impact a company’s IT and network service has on business performance and the growth of the wider UK economy.
Once the survey is complete, companies will be able to assess their performance against a national “business broadband barometer”. They will also have exclusive access to an application that provides recommendations and strategic advice on how they can equip themselves with the technology to best future-proof their business, improve productivity and generate growth.
Andy Lockwood, transformation director at TalkTalk Business, said: “The study is the first of its kind and will provide us with a comprehensive view of the current state of the UK’s broadband and IT infrastructure.
“Efficient business communication is key to increased productivity and improved performance. As the lifeblood of any organisation, the integration of business grade technology can help to support growth and stimulate the economy.
“The report will enable us to really get under the skin of UK businesses and realise how technologically advanced they currently are – providing a national benchmark and identifying which regions and sectors are best equipped and connected.
“It will also investigate how businesses can overcome their perceived IT barriers, by taking a closer look at issues such as awareness and access to hosted cloud solutions and the importance of IT strategy at Board level.”
