Network Sourcing and Cost Considerations for WAN Designs

Senior Analyst Brianna Boudreau is heading to Orlando for the annual CAUCUS IT Procurement Summit October 12-14, 2016. She'll be delivering a presentation on Network Sourcing & Cost Considerations for WAN Designs on October 12. 

Brianna and moderator Robert Wright of Humana will discuss how corporate WAN managers decide which services meet their evolving network requirements while controlling costs.

This presentation will share data geared toward telecom sourcing managers who are navigating the global WAN market. Brianna will explore how geography, provider, and technology impact cost, and how moving to a hybrid network can lower network TCO. 

In this session, you can expect to:

• Learn about trends in enterprise service availability and pricing across geographies and the impact of these changes on network cost. 
• Identify the most important factors to consider when effectively matching your WAN requirements to potential providers.
• Explore the impact of sourcing WAN services from a single global provider or several regional providers on total network cost. 
• Learn about key factors to consider before switching to a hybrid network. 
• Explore situations in which it can prove cost-effective to replace MPLS with alternative enterprise services and assess how a hybrid network can lower WAN costs.
