Designed correctly, an SD-WAN architecture will deliver unique advantages, such as reduced costs, and increased application performance and availability, leading to enhanced user experience.
Yet, as they prepare to benefit from the business-driven, front-end features of SD-WAN, many network, infrastructure and security teams lack the sufficient human resources, skills, and knowledge of SD-WAN technology needed to be able to design, deploy and operate a successful SD-WAN environment.
Unsurprisingly, more than 50% of SD-WAN projects go over timeline or budget, seriously delaying SD-WAN time to value.
One organization had only deployed 10% of their solution over a 12 month period so barely saw the benefit. This ends up costing businesses more than they ever anticipated.
Another organization was unable to deploy their SD-WAN solution for 9 months due to other internal project priorities, which cost them $4.3m in lost connectivity cost savings.
And once the solution is operational, retaining and training internal staff, and maintaining a team dedicated to the continual management and ongoing optimization of SD-WAN poses the next challenge.
Without a safety net in the event of issues or staff departures, the risks of solution inefficiencies and poor ROI further increase.
A shared-risk approach to SD-WAN helps to fill people, skill and knowledge gaps so you can experience SD-WAN benefits without delay.
