Social media causes headache for organisations
Clavister has recently claimed that Organisations need to safeguard against lost productivity, excessive bandwidth consumption and more security threats as employees accessing social sites using the corporate network are creating bandwidth and security issues and if this usage is not controlled, it can affect access to business critical applications as well as impacting staff productivity.
John Vestberg, CTO, Clavister said, “IT directors have a lot to think about when it comes to social media in the workplace. Is it stifling productivity? How much bandwidth is it using and is it putting us at an increased risk of security threats? Social media is a useful business tool but organisations clearly need to be fully aware of the various threats it poses to security, productivity and bandwidth consumption.”
“The use of social media needs to be controlled in the workplace as it can cost a lot in downtime. For example, if an organisation has 500 employees and each member of staff spends 30 minutes a day on social media that could equate to as much as SGD 4,570,000 (€3,000,000) per year in lost productivity.” he further added.
