The Challenge

The SOS team and all their partners work everywhere. Their network fans out to regional offices and then onto country subsidiaries. As they expanded, visibility grew less and providing reliable connectivity, performance, and security became too difficult. With a less than optimal network, their ability to support their partners and help children in need started to dimmish. They needed to optimize what they had, layer on new services to improve performance and connectivity, and strengthen any security weaknesses.

The Solution

SOS Children’s Villages turned to other NGOs for advice. They recommended Open Systems. We implemented our SASE Experience. Our Mission Control Operations Center and cloud-delivered security and network services provided the global access, local speed, and security they needed to continue to improve the lives of children and families while helping communities to prosper.
