Where would businesses be today without apps? They cut across departments, groups of users, and even business entities. They provide a kind of insight that can’t be generated by anything else. Without them, a company’s visibility into real-time events of the organization is limited. If a critical app malfunctions and goes down, business can come to a halt.
Apps used to be restricted to office buildings and spaces. Now, they no longer live strictly in the office over a private company network; employees can access them on their tablets, phones, laptops both at home and in the office, and any place where an internet connection is available.
Manage Your Applications: Apps and Their Maintenance
One of the most critical applications to businesses is Microsoft Office 365. This platform streamlines communication, collaboration, file sharing, content creation, and several other critical business functions. Office 365 is much more than a simple improvement—it streamlines day-to-day business functions. Many users take the tools within this application for granted. However, their work and processes would be significantly affected without this integrated solution.

Since critical apps are frequently used, companies need to ensure their performance remains top notch. All the benefits they can give to an organization won’t be available if an app is slow or entirely unusable. If stellar performance isn’t witnessed, users can be quick to blame a fault with the network, application, or the device on which they are using it. However, problems can stem from a number of different areas.
It is possible that the problem is a result of the device itself, but other possibilities can include network congestion, application misconfiguration, or network misconfiguration. Where ever the problem originates from, the only way it can be fixed is if there’s complete visibility from the user level to the application level. Without that visibility to troubleshoot issues, users can become frustrated, and work gets interrupted, which can directly impact the overall performance of the business.
How to Manage Your Critical Apps
For your critical apps to be successful, your business needs to have visibility and control. Network managers need a full view into the application both inside the network and where it lives in the cloud. That insight will give them the ability to shape the traffic going into the app. It will also help correct performance issues to reduce downtime and optimize performance.
