Industrialized Software-Defined Wide Area Networking (SD-WAN) Services

Drive successful network transformation with an automated, pay-as-you-go model

CHALLENGE

As digital transformation picks up speed, the need for automated B2B network setups such as software defined wide area networking (SD-WAN) to reduce dependency on multi-protocol label switching (MPLS) is growing rapidly. However, most communications service providers (CSPs) and their enterprise customers struggle to fully realize its business value and return on investment. Multiple technology platforms, non-standard processes, and complex migrations push up opex and increase the time to market, making the SD-WAN journey rather challenging and failure prone.

TCS SOLUTION

TCS’ Industrialized SD-WAN services cover the entire spectrum, including consulting, designing, building, and migrating, as well as complete project management for quicker and successful network transformation. With a pay-as-you-go model, TCS’ SD-WAN Service helps CSPs deal with fluctuating market demand with ease, ensuring hassle-free network transformation journeys. Our experience of over 10,000 SD-WAN installations and alliance with top vendors help us leverage best practices to boost CSPs’ sales closure rates, drive revenue streams, and make faster network decisions.

TCS’ services are divided into various work packages that bring value to the enterprise depending on the stage of network transformation:

• Consulting: Empower enterprises to identify and quantify the value that SD-WAN brings to them
• Design: Provide enterprises with target design and configuration of their SD-WAN edge devices and controller, and orchestration components, once the SD-WAN product is identified
• Central platform build: Facilitate configuration and testing at the pilot site to fine-tune design and to deliver superlative network performance
• E2E platform testing: Enable end-to-end (E2E) testing for services
• Deployment and migration: Simplify migration to an SD-WAN network with phased deployments, and user acceptance testing before going live
• Post migration support: Perform SD-WAN network monitoring, L1/L2 troubleshooting, and network change management for SD-WAN network
• Project management: Execute the entire network transformation process while managing schedules, risks and costs

TCS’ Industrialized SD-WAN services cover the entire spectrum, including consulting, designing, building, and migrating, as well as complete project management for quicker and successful network transformation.
