INDIA \u2013 June 19, 2018<\/strong> \u2013 Riverbed, The Digital Performance Company, today announced the results of the Riverbed Digital Performance Global Survey 2018<\/em><\/strong><\/a>, <\/em>which found that nearly all (99%) of business decision makers agree that optimizing digital performance is essential to business performance, and 98% agree (55% strongly agree) that digital, including the delivery of digital services and applications, is critical to the future of their business. However, 97% of these same business decision makers say that major barriers \u2013 including budget constraints, legacy networks and lack of visibility \u2013 are holding them back from advancing digital strategies and delivering the performance and customer experience required in today\u2019s digital world.<\/p>\n

The global survey includes responses from 1,000 business decision makers, including India, at companies with $500 million or more in revenue across nine countries. It found that while digital services and applications are critical to future business success, nearly two thirds (66%) of respondents reported that critical digital services and applications are failing at least a few times a month.<\/p>\n

Those who hesitate to embrace digital strategies and processes will quickly fall by the wayside, and those who drive digital performance will see significant business outcomes.\u201d<\/p>\n
