Navigating Network Transformation with the Convergence of SD-WAN and Security
The adoption of managed SD-WAN services has steadily increased in the past couple of years across geographies and industries, driven by a rise in remote work. SD-WAN managed services outsourcing grew by about 40% from 2021 to 2022. Additionally, the enterprise need for network security, effective application, and user and policy optimization is driving joint SD-WAN and SASE implementations. However, businesses still face challenges, such as migration from existing legacy networks, vendor management, and lack of skilled resources, while implementing SD-WAN. These trends, and others, are covered in Avasant’s SD-WAN Managed Services 2022–2023 RadarView™.

Navigating Pitfalls in the Transition to IT Managed Services
In the T&M model, the customer agrees to pay the contractor based on the time spent on the project and the cost of materials used. This model is often used when the scope of the project is not well-defined or is subject to change. It provides flexibility for both the customer and the contractor, as the customer can adjust the scope of the project as needed, and the contractor is compensated for any additional time or materials required. However, this model does not always work in a managed services environment.

Navigating SAP S/4HANA Modernization: Evaluating RISE with SAP versus Private Cloud
As SAP phases out mainstream support for SAP ERP 6.0 by 2027, enterprises are confronted with a strategic decision with regard to modernizing to SAP S/4HANA. This article compares two key transformation paths: RISE with SAP, a bundled, SAP-managed offering, and self-managed deployments on hyperscaler clouds. It explores trade-offs in control, complexity, cost transparency, and customization, supported by real-world examples such as embecta’s rapid ERP separation. While RISE with SAP simplifies operations and accelerates time to value, private cloud offers greater flexibility. The analysis helps CIOs assess which model aligns best with their digital maturity, operational priorities, and long-term transformation goals.
