Small and midsize enterprises lead the
growing trend toward embracing SD-networking technology in Germany,
ISG Provider Lens™ report says
Enterprises in Germany are increasingly turning to SD-WAN
solutions and services to improve overall operational flexibility
and efficiency while minimizing security risks, according to a new
research report published today by Information Services Group (ISG)
(Nasdaq: III), a leading global technology research and advisory
firm.
The 2024 ISG Provider Lens™ Network — Software Defined Solutions
and Services report for Germany finds a growing number of German
enterprises recognize adopting software-defined (SD) networks as a
prudent, cost-efficient strategy for leveraging the latest
technologies while also ensuring enhanced security and business
continuity. These networks have proven to efficiently assist with
digital transformations by reducing complexity and facilitating
risk-reduced migration to single or multicloud environments for
enterprises, the ISG report says.
“Organizations in Germany are turning to experienced providers
and advisors to support their adoption of SDN technologies,” said
Andreas Fahr, partner and head of ISG DACH and Nordics. “Growth in
this market is being driven by systems integrators and their
partner networks who are competing with traditional network
services providers, as well as increasing demand from small and
mid-sized enterprises that are quickly embracing SD-WAN
solutions.”
Enterprises in Germany are seeking to migrate their ICT and
network operations to the cloud, while enhancing security in all
touchpoint areas, the ISG report says. These enterprises are highly
focused on incorporating advanced technologies into their corporate
networks, while maintaining comprehensive advanced security
measures from the core to the edge of their networks, the report
says. Implementing SD-WAN can act as a steppingstone to the cloud
and toward full cloud network adoption, ISG says.
According to the ISG report, the move to embrace SD-WAN
technology is particularly notable in Germany’s powerful SME
market. These small and mid-sized companies often have dispersed
locations, branches, workforces and hybrid work models and must
rely significantly on cloud-based collaboration solutions, the
report says. Germany’s SMEs frequently turn to lower-cost SD-WAN
solutions to connect to cloud and security providers, often via
provider ecosystems, ISG says.
“SD networks are vital in ensuring a smooth and secure migration
to single or multicloud environments,” said Jan Erik Aase, partner
and global leader, ISG Provider Lens Research. “By leveraging
SD-WAN, German enterprises can navigate cloud adoption complexities
with ease, minimizing potential disruptions and ensuring a seamless
transition.”
The report also examines how German enterprises are using SD
networking to rapidly improve CX and UX in a bid to reduce staff
churn and increase staff loyalty.

challenges facing enterprises in Germany, including strengthening
