Driving Business Growth and Cost Reduction with SD-WAN

This case study outlines the challenges faced by a prominent accounting firm in modernizing its network infrastructure. The firm struggled with high costs due to reliance on expensive private network circuits, resource inefficiencies from a complex routing schema, compliance constraints that hindered its ability to compete for larger bids, limited network insight affecting application performance measurement, and integration challenges that slowed down system updates. To address these issues, the firm evaluated a managed SD-WAN platform and engaged Globalgig for a comprehensive WAN advisory design program. Globalgig implemented a Palo Alto Prisma SD-WAN solution, which included replacing costly MPLS circuits with affordable internet access and deploying cloud-based firewalls to enhance security. The results of this migration included reduced connectivity expenses, improved network security, and better alignment with the firm’s growth objectives, enabling it to compete more effectively in the market.
