Macroeconomic disruption has led to as many as 87% of IT decision-makers being a little or a lot less confident in the network investment decisions they make, and geopolitical events in the past three years have driven virtually half of them to admit they wish they had not made the networking decisions they did, according to a report from global internet services provider Arelion.

The Doubt, delay and regret: How global disruptors are impacting enterprise networks report was based on a survey carried out online in the first half of 2024 with 545 industry representatives in the US, UK, Germany and France. All participants were involved in decision-making regarding their company’s network development strategy, and all work for enterprises with over 2,000 employees. They came from industries including IT services (105); banking (104); manufacturing and engineering (92); and finance and financial services (91).
