Is your internet network model holding you back?

94% of enterprises say their internet network isn’t ready for AI

Every global internet network model started as a set of practical calls: which provider for which site, where control sits, how performance gets monitored. Over time those calls compound, and for most enterprises, they’re compounding in the wrong direction. 

According to IDC’s Enterprise Horizons 2025 report, 52% of enterprises plan to upgrade their infrastructure to keep up with demand, and 28% have already lost revenue to network performance issues. Nearly half, 45%, are now moving toward a managed network model instead of stitching one together themselves. 

If deployment takes longer than it should, performance depends on which office you’re sitting in, or your team spends more time on vendor escalations than on improving anything... The issue is the model you’re using to manage your network, not the market.

This infographic lays out the five clearest signs that a fragmented network model is limiting performance and AI readiness, and what a Network-as-a-Service (NaaS) model looks like by comparison.

  • Why deployment takes months instead of weeks in a fragmented model
  • Why the same application performs differently depending on region
  • How vendor management quietly displaces network improvement
  • What’s missing when there’s no centralized, real-time visibility
  • Why network scalability should mean more capacity, not more complexity
  • Plus a side-by-side comparison: what a fragmented model costs you today, against what changes when one partner manages deployment, performance, and visibility under a single contract.

What changes with a single network partner?

Carlsberg faced this exact problem: a fragmented internet underlay stitched together from multiple regional providers across 160 sites in 40 countries. Expereo consolidated it into one integrated network and security stack under a single partner. 

That’s the shift we map out: from a model where complexity creates risk, to one where simplicity creates advantage.
