Digital Transformation: Why an as-a-Service model beats traditional Managed Services
ngena – the only Secure Connectivity as a Service Provider with the unique .connect platform that can .connect the dots of your business
Your global enterprise moves fast, and your network needs to evolve to meet your needs. Cloud-based applications, mobile workforces, and the barriers of obtaining reliable, cost-effective connectivity for all of your locations and users. This demands higher bandwidth, better availability and enhanced security challenges. In short, digital transformation needs a flexible, high-performance and secure network solution.
And as your networking needs become more complex, the marketplace becomes harder to navigate. Almost every telco and many systems integrators claim to be able to provide SASE and SD-WAN. However, each provider is unique — some solely manage the hardware, while others use SD-WAN as an overlay to your legacy network, raising expense and complexity while barely shifting the needle on performance. Many managed service providers simply do not provide a fully managed solution that includes access, hardware deployment and control and true global reach. Others claim to offer with their managed service full SASE solutions as well, but focus on a single use case but can´t fulfill the complete need of an enterprise as part of their integrated offering. Your business needs secure and reliable, enterprise-grade connectivity that makes your network simple, intuitive and cost-effective.
