Partner participation is up. Increased MRC was done by layering on services and selling more megs with lower prices. The total number of orders has increased by not only increasing partner participation but also leading the conversation with Advanced Networking and Connectivity or adding Advanced Networking and Connectivity to Advanced Solutions deals.

Connectivity suppliers picked up in 2022 with new suppliers that brought something new to the table. These suppliers fill the gaps with more fiber options and global expansion.

2023: Trends to Watch

• SASE-Secure Access Service Edge
  • SD-WAN + Security that mixes network quality with network security.
• Cloud Connectivity
  • An internet connection between a private network and a public cloud. You could also refer to it as IP Access or IP Transit connectivity. Notably, its surging popularity is thanks to its affordability and efficiency.

Be prepared for a slow and methodical process. Telarus perfected the process to help with enterprise sales by adding solution architects. Telarus can be there as much as you want and need, from pitching to project management.

5 Key Drivers of SD-WAN

• Cost
  • How does the customer get speed and reliability without overpaying
• Management Complexity
  • Customer’s ability to self-manage a network
• Functionality
  • What abilities does the overlay (aka, aggregate) network need to have
• Quality
  • Are there any applications that are sensitive to delay, packet loss, and jitter?
• Security-
  • If the customer is securing the WAN at the edge, do they want to do it with a standard edge firewall appliance, or do they want to simplify it down into one SD-WAN box?
