Network transformation can be risky, complex, and take time. Advancements in network technologies often result in downward pricing pressure on legacy infrastructure and services. Digital transformation could involve rethinking traditional business models, work modalities, and employee access to key corporate applications, as well as enhancing network agility and resiliency. To put it mildly, that covers a lot of ground.

Savvy customers can leverage a hybrid approach maintaining certain legacy services like MPLS for the intermediate term while deploying less expensive internet access where appropriate.

Added benefits include the substantially lower risk profile in not having to physically migrate the services and an earlier realization of savings.
