the challenge

The organization needed to execute a critical network transformation initiative across its national footprint.

Its strategic objective was to migrate from a legacy MPLS wide-area network to an advanced SASE infrastructure managed internally. To support that transition, the business required significant bandwidth expansion across all locations, along with dual-provider redundancy to ensure reliable connectivity to its SASE edge environment.

ata's approach

ATA led a structured, vendor-agnostic evaluation process to identify the right path forward.

Using deep marketplace knowledge, ATA conducted a targeted RFP process to surface the most viable options for the client’s technical and operational requirements. Through a rigorous assessment process, two providers emerged as the strongest strategic partners for the engagement.

ATA then negotiated optimal pricing and contract terms, while its project coordination team provided end-to-end oversight during implementation to ensure smooth execution and adherence to timeline expectations.

results delivered

The engagement delivered a stronger, more resilient infrastructure foundation for the organization’s next phase of network modernization.

Key outcomes included:

  • Dual-provider redundancy successfully implemented across all locations
  • Enhanced bandwidth capacity delivered to support SASE migration
  • Implementation completed on schedule and within budget parameters
  • Robust infrastructure established to support future scalability

ATA’s role has continued beyond the initial project, with the partnership expanding into new technology initiatives that support operational excellence and innovation across the enterprise.
