Network & Connectivity
Enterprise network, telecom and connectivity transformation — engineered as an audit-grade capability, not a packaged service.
Where it breaks
Network programs fail at the seams.
Pick a failure mode to see what we ship against it.
Start with the problem
The vendor deck
SD-WAN and SASE chosen from last quarter’s slides.
Seven vendors evaluated against Gartner SASE convergence, MEF 70.1 / 88 service attributes and FedRAMP tier where federal procurement is in scope.

Manifesto
Consulting-led, not vendor-led.
We evaluate Cisco, VMware, Versa, Fortinet, Palo Alto, Cato and Aruba against Gartner SASE convergence and MEF 70.1 service attributes — not against the deck the vendor sent last quarter. Telecom audit decodes the carrier’s tariff binder line by line.
The practice lead has spent two decades inside Fortune 500 managed-services accounts, including 18 months embedded onsite at a 160-site infrastructure divestiture.
- Gartner SASE convergence + MEF 70.1 / 88
- NIST SP 800-207 Zero Trust
- ISO/IEC 27033 + ISO/IEC 20000-1
- ITIL v4 service operations
Sub-practices
Seven sub-practices. One accountable lead.
Every engagement is led by senior practitioners and scoped to an artifact you can audit.
02 / 07
WAN / SD-WAN / SASE
WAN assessment, MPLS rationalization, SD-WAN strategy and SASE convergence (ZTNA + SSE + DEM) for internet-first, hybrid-cloud connectivity.
03 / 07
Telecom advisory
Spend analysis, carrier assessment, contract negotiation, circuit inventory and service rationalization.
04 / 07
Cloud + DC connectivity
AWS Direct Connect, Azure ExpressRoute and GCP Interconnect strategy, multi-cloud design and data center exit planning.
05 / 07
Secure network architecture
Zero Trust per NIST SP 800-207, secure remote access, identity-aware connectivity and micro-segmentation.
06 / 07
M&A + divestiture
Infrastructure due diligence, Day-1 readiness, network separation, TSA exit planning and integration roadmaps.
07 / 07
Network operations
NOC transformation, ITSM integration, incident and problem management, observability and an SLA framework you can put in the SOW.
Engagement modes
Four ways to engage the practice.
From a time-boxed assessment to a multi-year managed service, with named owners on every workstream.
- 01
Assessment
Fixed-scope and time-boxed: architecture review, telecom audit, SD-WAN readiness or M&A due diligence. Findings memo plus prioritized roadmap.
- 02
Transformation program
Multi-quarter execution — SD-WAN / SASE rollout, network separation, NOC stand-up — with steering cadence and milestone gates.
- 03
Advisory retainer
A senior practitioner on call for architecture decisions, vendor negotiations, escalation cover and board-grade memos.
- 04
Managed service
SLA-bound ITIL v4 operations: NOC, ITSM integration, monitoring, capacity and change, with quarterly governance review.
M&A and divestiture
The TSA window is the contract.
Separations run in six gated phases, with checkpoints at the cutover milestone and at TSA exit.
- 01
Discovery
Infrastructure due diligence: sites, circuits, contracts, dependencies and risk.
- 02
Blueprint
Target-state design, Day-1 readiness plan and integration or separation roadmap.
- 03
Datacenter onboarding
Landing zones and connectivity prepared before a single workload moves.
- 04
Network separation
Cutover executed site by site against the milestone gate.
- 05
BAU handoff
Runbooks, monitoring and ITSM integration handed to steady-state operations.
- 06
TSA exit
Transition services retired inside the window, with nothing left on the old estate.
Posture
Receipts,
not slides.

- Sites separated in 18 months
“160-site infrastructure separation in the GE Plastics split to SABIC Innovative Plastics and Momentive: an 18-month TSA window, a $5.1M program delivered $425K under budget, zero major incidents through cutover.”
