Steve King, technical director of Digital Jigsaw, said that good software design, monitoring and hardware infrastructure are the three areas which firms need to consider when launching a website, but claimed having the right people in place is vital.
'A good chief architect is your main weapon in your arsenal as without good design you can have all the hardware in the world and it'll come to nought,' he explained.
Mr King also stressed the importance of thoroughly monitoring all the traffic which flows to the website, as this will allow companies to identify areas where problems could emerge and take steps to avert them.
Recently, Blue Coat Systems found that 54 per cent of IT managers believe firms should ban their employees from watching the World Cup at work, as some fear high-bandwidth video streaming could cause their IT infrastructure to crash.
