In their search for the right partner for this project, it became clear that the larger providers of SD-WAN implementation projects were not the right match for Vos Logistics. “It was often package A, B or C that we could choose from, with little room for adjustments,” says Bob Mulders, Head of Corporate Infrastructure & Network at Vos Logistics. “Moreover, we had to navigate through multiple layers in those organizations before reaching the right person.”
Vos Logistics found the partner they needed in Elite Networks. “Because they are not the largest party, there is room for flexibility and the communication lines are short,” tells Mulders. “We have a single point of contact who knows every detail of our project. That works really well.”
Formulating an implementation plan was the start of the project, in which Vos Logistics made an extensive inventory of the requirements per location. Based on this, Elite Networks made the technical design, which has already been implemented at approximately 40 sites.
The most complex locations were migrated to the SD-WAN network first, allowing Vos Logistics and Elite Networks to focus on the less complex sites. This way, the most technical challenges are overcome right at the beginning of the project and these experiences are taken into account in the following migrations. During the first migrations, Elite Networks has always been present on site to solve challenges quickly. They do not leave before it works.
An SD-WAN migration, including phasing out MPLS and installing a firewall cluster, can now be realized within 30 minutes. The site is often operational again within 15 minutes, with only a few short interruptions, which are hardly noticeable, during the testing of the various fail-over procedures. Since the migration takes less than 30 minutes, the team can often complete it during lunch. That saves evening and weekend work.
