SD-WAN Modernization for Global Semiconductor Company

This case study outlines the SD-WAN modernization project undertaken by a leading semiconductor supplier to enhance their corporate IT network. Faced with the challenge of managing two separate IT networks across 75 global locations, the company sought to consolidate its telecom services into a single optimized environment. The objective was to achieve increased bandwidth, improved network resiliency, and cost savings. The IT leaders collaborated with Tangoe to design an SD-WAN solution and execute a procurement strategy aimed at securing low prices for network connectivity services. The process involved deep network discovery and careful planning to ensure that the transition to SD-WAN would not inadvertently increase costs. Ultimately, the project resulted in over $2 million in savings, a significant increase in bandwidth, and a reduction in productivity losses. The successful implementation of the SD-WAN solution laid the groundwork for future digital innovations within the organization.
