Today, many networking, infrastructure and security teams have ambitions to redesign their WAN infrastructure. They’re looking to improve performance, become more agile, simplify management, and enhance security, all while reducing cost.
But where they often fail is in aligning a collective vision for SD-WAN and SASE with business objectives and technical requirements.
They miss the opportunity to fully explore these as a team due to a lack of knowledge and experience, over-stretched resources, limited time, and poor communication.
The consequences are a lack of stakeholder alignment, misunderstandings and isolated decision-making.
This ultimately leads to project back-tracking, overruns, and unrealized business benefits.
Some teams are taking a different approach and are already seeing results from their SD-WAN and SASE projects in a short timeframe.
With an SD-WAN & SASE Workshop, they’ve found a way to leverage external expertise & experience to unite them and fill their own knowledge gaps.
This has enabled them to accelerate their SD-WAN and SASE time to value by ensuring everyone approaches SD-WAN and SASE on the same page.
Teneo’s SD-WAN & SASE Workshop aligns teams at the beginning of an SD-WAN or SASE project, provides real-life experience to help avoid pitfalls, and provides a structured approach to building a collaborative SD-WAN or SASE solution and business case.
Our SD-WAN & SASE Workshop involves pre-work and is delivered in multiple parts as follows.
To get the most out of our SD-WAN & SASE Workshop, it’s highly recommended that you research certain topics in advance. We’ll help you decide what those topics should be. Examples include:
In Part 1 of the SD-WAN & SASE workshop, we’ll cover:
In this section we’ll deep dive into your technical requirements, including:
For Part 3 of our SD-WAN & SASE workshop, we’ll produce an SD-WAN or SASE Solution Requirements Document (SRD) that will capture all of the data collected in Part 2 of the workshop.
This document will be sent to you for comment and review. Once all the requirements have been agreed, we’ll work on creating an SD-WAN or SASE solution to meet your needs based on the SRD.
In addition, you’ll be able to use the SRD to guide decision-making when moving forward with your SD-WAN or SASE project.
At the conclusion of our SD-WAN & SASE Workshop process, we’ll have a clear understanding of your requirements and will produce a detailed SD-WAN or SASE solution recommendation.
Our recommendation will highlight how it meets your specific requirements. In the case that we’re presenting multiple solutions, we’ll rank each solution against your requirements, enabling you to make an informed decision.
In addition, we’ll create a set of actions and next steps, complete with who’s doing what and when. This may include:
