Research Desk

With the drastic increase in cloud adoption, high-performance broadband availability and the need for infrastructure automation, network transformation is no longer an if but a when.

Organizations are moving away from costly and complex legacy SD-WAN products and toward next-gen solutions that ensure exceptional user experience with application defined policies designed to simplify network and security operations.

That’s fine in theory – but what are the actual, real-world business results?

For this Total Economic Impact™ (TEI™) Spotlight report, Forrester Research interviewed nine key stakeholders at different companies and surveyed a further 133 organizations with experience using Palo Alto Networks CloudGenix® SD-WAN. Then, Forrester combined the results into a “composite organization” and ran a three-year financial analysis. Risk-adjusted present value (PV) quantified benefits include:

  • Reduced MTTR by 20% each year, saving 24 minutes per incident and saving US$3.5 million in benefits
  • Improved end user productivity – $757,840 net present value (NPV) over three years
  • Decreased likelihood of a data breach by 35%

Palo Alto Networks believes Forrester’s Total Economic Impact Spotlight report will show you the true value of the next-gen SD-WAN solution for your cloud-ready enterprise. Read it today.
