HALLOWEEN HOWLERS 2020

HALLOWEEN HOWLERS 2020

It’s that time of year again where many of our competitors are quaking in the Frankenstein-inspired platform boots – it’s not Halloween they fear, but our annual Halloween Howler blog, where we tell nightmare-inducing horror stories of things that went wrong in the world of SD-WAN and SaSe.

As usual, dear reader, we’ll be letting rip like a mummy in a bandage factory with the usual (blood) splattering of stories about networks that go crash in the night…. (we say ‘night’ for dramatic effect, but in reality the networks we refer to normally crash at the busiest time of the day). So, who has become a vampire, sucking the life-blood from every business they meet? Who is the giant SD-WANNABE monster that lurks in Mirky Valley? Who is being stalked by the Grim Reaper and who, frankly, may as well kick the Halloween trick or treating bucket and give up the ghost on SD-WAN right now?

[any similarities in this blog to any business real or dead are purely coincidental. This blog is for entertainment purposes only.]

BUILDING A POST-COVID FUTURE FOR THE CONSTRUCTION INDUSTRY

BUILDING A POST-COVID FUTURE FOR THE CONSTRUCTION INDUSTRY

Our recent research into the construction industry shows it has had it as tough as any other sector in 2020 – projects were delayed or cancelled, supply chains were unreliable, social distancing proved an on-going logistical and practical challenge and the lack of financial reserves many construction companies operate without has brought a sense in instability in an already unstable world. But that very same research shows clear trends for 2021 on how the construction sector plans to recover and future proof. And some have already begun that task.

TAKING SD-WAN TO SMALL AND MEDIUM SIZED BUSINESSES

TAKING SD-WAN TO SMALL AND MEDIUM SIZED BUSINESSES

Small and medium-sized business owners could be excused for thinking that SD-WAN is provided by corporates for corporates, but a new partnership between SDWAN Solutions and Adaptiv Networks has been forged via a combined mission to break through the glass ceiling of SD-WAN provision to bring tailored SD-WAN to small and medium-sized businesses across the UK and Europe.

Now, even if your business has only a handful of sites, just one site with staff who also need to work remotely, or even if you simply want to ensure your team members can work at home, remotely and in office locations without buffering or delay, together we will tailor an SD-WAN Solution for you, with up to 65% savings compared to traditional MPLS.

WHAT IS SD-WAN AND HOW YOU WILL BENEFIT IN PLAIN SPEAKING ENGLISH?

WHAT IS SD-WAN AND HOW YOU WILL BENEFIT IN PLAIN SPEAKING ENGLISH?

Technospeak, cyberbabble: usually confusing and often overflowing with superfluous verbosity. But what really confuses us in explanations about technology is that the HOW it works is explained, rather than WHAT it will do to improve your life or business.

So we’re just going to say it like it is and explain what true SD-WAN will bring you in good old fashioned plain speaking English. There, no unwarranted verbiage so far and there’s none to follow:

HALLOWEEN HOWLERS

HALLOWEEN HOWLERS

We love Halloween. Not just because the SDWAN SOLUTIONS’ ‘wear your Halloween mask to work competition’ is such a laugh, but because it gives us the perfect platform to show how SD-WAN should form part of your digital transformation strategy for 2020, so that your network doesn’t go CRASH in the night! Our blog explains which Halloween Howlers your business should avoid on pain of a grisly network death with our ‘based-on-fact’ stories… but of course, Shhhh, we mention no names!

No matter what time of the year everyone needs telecommunications and network technologies that will future-proof their business, maximise productivity and save time and money. Here we give insights into what went wrong for some SD-WAN vendors and their unfortunate customers and suggest ways you can get all the benefits of SD-WAN for your business without getting the heebie-jeebies!

TECHNOLOGY TRENDS AND INSIGHTS FOR CHARITIES AND THE THIRD SECTOR IN 2020

TECHNOLOGY TRENDS AND INSIGHTS FOR CHARITIES AND THE THIRD SECTOR IN 2020

There are many technological challenges for the non-profit sector, but we have long disputed the 2017 Select Committee Report findings that, overall, claims charities are somehow falling short in the technology stakes.

So convinced are we that charities are more than willing to adopt new technology that (like SD-WAN) will save money, make online donating more secure and allow for uber-fast download of some of the most compelling video stories on the entire Net, that we’re offering charities.

WHAT IS SD-WAN AND HOW WILL IT HELP MY BUSINESS?

WHAT IS SD-WAN AND HOW WILL IT HELP MY BUSINESS?

SD-WAN technology has been widely adopted by the corporates over the last two years, but we know there are still many who don’t know what SD-WAN is and how it will benefit their business.
We don’t blame you – there’s loads of jargon and tech-speak to wade through! So, as the UK and Europe’s leading SD-WAN specialists we explain – in plain English – just how SD-WAN will help SME’s, small businesses and sole traders

RETAIL AND SHOPPING TRENDS 2019

We all love shopping at SDWAN Central, but we’re even more fascinated by the technological innovations that will impact on the retail industry and potentially change the way we all shop this yearnut “But we’ve always done it this way” – especially when it comes to adapting a current WAN to an SD-WAN solution., how can you be sure that your IT provider is skilled enough to offer the solution that is ultimately best suited to you?
