Multi-site network opportunities, held together by workflow
Manage SD-WAN and SASE opportunities across locations, suppliers, security requirements and staged decisions through one operating record.
What you can sell
SD-WAN and SASE projects connect several sites under one set of rules, so they are bought as a design rather than as a single service. Each site still needs a working underlay connection, which is why these deals often include connectivity as well. The first conversation is about which sites, which applications and who will run the network afterwards.
- SD-WAN overlays across multi-location footprints
- SASE and secure-access designs for hybrid teams
- Underlay connectivity bundled and managed per site
When the conversation starts
- Private circuits up for renewal
- A client with MPLS or other private links between sites has a natural reason to compare designs when those contracts end.
- Branches that depend on cloud applications
- Sending every site’s traffic through head office adds a detour for applications that live in the cloud.
- A client that opens and closes sites
- A network that has to follow the business is easier to extend with one design than circuit by circuit.
- One security policy for every site
- A client that wants the same rules at every location, remote staff included, starts to look at SASE.
Who else is in the decision
- The network or IT lead
- Judges the design and will live with it.
- The security lead
- Sets the policy that has to apply at every site.
- Finance
- Compares the cost of the current circuits with the new design and its term.
- Site managers
- Agree installation windows and know what a day without a link costs their location.
- An existing managed service provider
- If someone already runs the network, their role in the new design needs settling early.
First questions to ask
- How many sites are there, and what connects them today?
- Which sites need the same policies, and which need their own?
- Which applications must keep working when a link fails?
- Where should internet traffic leave the network: at each site or at a central point?
- Who will manage the network after it goes live: the client, a partner or the supplier?
Why it sells
- Complexity rewards care
- Complex requirements create room for partners who can manage scope, quotes and follow-through with precision.
- Site-based account expansion
- Each location can carry its own order and commission context while staying attached to one account record.
- Anchors the whole stack
- Network transformation can surface voice, security, connectivity and access-control opportunities in one portfolio.
How it runs
- Register the opportunityYou create the account, category, owner and scope record before supplier work begins.
- Raise the quote requestEach request goes to one supplier. Oqitor’s operations team works it with them and posts the quote on the deal.
- Follow the commissionThe order’s commission line reaches your statement, paid after the supplier pays us, on the schedule in your partner agreement.
