The need for organizations to change to meet evolving business environments is not a new concept. However, what is new in our current moment is the pace of change. Organizations across all industries now have to adapt to a rapidly evolving IT and application environment. These changes have been accelerated by a global pandemic that is forcing employees to work remotely and by the adoption of modern applications that are distributed across corporate data centers, multiple public clouds, and increasingly, edge locations. Unfortunately, both of these efforts create more IT complexity.

Enterprises are migrating their private applications to public clouds, and users are consuming more applications, connecting to them from everywhere and from any device. This has created a proliferation of perimeters around users, devices, and applications. Although many organizations have already taken steps to embrace digitalization and enable a zero-trust network, their connectivity is still operating on incumbent network-centric approaches.

Software-defined WAN (SD-WAN) is an application-aware service that intelligently routes traffic in real time based on established business policies, along with network quality and availability. SD-WAN is used to connect multiple locations in a network to each other, to a data center, to applications and data in the cloud, or to SaaS platforms. Leveraging multiple, cost-effective access types at each location in an active-active configuration, an SD-WAN network routes application traffic over the best-performing network elements in real time and ensures automated failover for resiliency.

Businesses are evolving faster than ever before. Key technologies such as the cloud, mobility and the Internet of Things (IoT) are enabling organizations to undertake broad and deep digital transformations—changing the way companies operate, creating new business models and lifting employee productivity to new heights. As digital transformation takes root in enterprises, a parallel shift is occurring from massive centralized data centers to the cloud and then to the edge of the network. It is at the edge where customer engagement and rich interactions are now happening; it’s also where customers and enterprises alike generate valuable data and insights. But to make it work—and to extract every bit of value—all of this needs to be connected back to the business.

As humans we see the world in 3D. It helps us judge everything we do, from reading people’s reactions so we can respond accordingly to knowing how high we should step to make sure we don’t fall. Yet as a lender you’re often forced to determine credit risk in one dimension, using a traditional credit score. And if there is no credit score, you are inclined to walk away.
