EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

Software-defined wide-area networking (SD-WAN) is a transformational technology, but some SD-WAN vendors often pitch their solutions as a way to save money. Cost reduction is important to earning a return on investment (ROI), but it is not the biggest opportunity with this technology. Instead, enterprises should use SD-WAN to turn the network into a platform for business transformation. This white paper explores how users can plan for ROI and network transformation with SD-WAN.
