Today, many networking, infrastructure and security teams have ambitions to redesign their WAN and Network Security
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 SSE (aka SASE when combined) 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 backtracking, overruns, and unrealized business benefits.
Some teams are taking a different approach and are already seeing results from their SD-WAN and SSE projects in a short timeframe.
They’ve found a way to leverage external expertise and experience to unite them and fill their own knowledge gaps.
This has enabled them to accelerate their SD-WAN and SSE time to value by ensuring everyone approaches SD-WAN and SSE on the same page.
Teneo’s SD-WAN & SSE Workshop aligns teams at the beginning of an SD-WAN or SSE project, provides real-life
experience to help avoid pitfalls, and provides a structured approach to building a collaborative SD- WAN or SSE
solution and business case.
This solution forms part of StreamlineX, our innovative framework which enables IT teams to provide secure, optimized
and observable connections between users and applications.
A sample SD-WAN & SSE Workshop agenda can be found below.
To get the most out of our SD-WAN & SSE 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 workshop, we’ll cover:
In this section we’ll deep dive into your technical requirements, including:
For Part 3 of our workshop, we’ll produce an SD-WAN, SSE or SASE high level Solutions Requirement 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, SSE 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, SSE or SASE
project.
At the conclusion of our SD-WAN, SSE or SASE Workshop process, we’ll have a clear understanding of your requirements and
will produce a detailed 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.
