The expertise you’ll need for a successful SASE transition.

Implementing SASE is complex. It comprises multiple technologies and requires migrating thousands of users, often across hundreds of business locations. Taking a phased approach that prioritises your most critical business needs will help you overcome the challenges large enterprises face when embarking upon a SASE migration. 


Operating model

Defining a target operating model will help you pinpoint your desired end state and help you determine how, and by whom, your policies should be managed.
 


Vendor selection

Choosing a vendor that can meet all your business and technical requirements requires analysis and consideration because features across SASE technology can vary. 


Roadmap

Creating a roadmap that outlines the phases of your program of work will help ensure your SASE transition is handled effectively and with minimal disruption to your business.
