From legacy to leading edge: celebrating 10 years of SD-WAN innovation with AWI.
Celebrating a Decade of Partnership and Innovation
In today’s fast-paced digital world, where technological advancement and innovation continue to accelerate, building a successful and lasting partnership requires more than technical know-how. It takes industry experience, agility, and a genuine commitment to long-term client success. As we reflect on a decade of working alongside Australian Wool Innovation (AWI), to help transform their global network and security infrastructure, we recognize this journey as a testament to the transformative power of innovation, client empowerment, and a partnership built on trust.
Coevolve’s Commitment to Agility in a Rapidly Changing World
Since we first started working with AWI in 2015, the networking and security landscape has evolved rapidly. Year after year, we’ve witnessed new vendors, technology capabilities, and methodologies to meet the growing demands and requirements of enterprises in an increasingly digital world.
At Coevolve, our reason for being is to help our clients navigate this landscape with one clear goal in mind: to ensure our tailored solutions consistently deliver value, align with our client’s unique requirements, and offer support and guidance throughout the network and security life cycle. Our relationship with AWI exemplifies this commitment, showing how our client-centric mindset has enabled AWI to keep pace with its business ambitions.
Being technology-agnostic, Coevolve remains agile and open to implementing innovative network and security technologies. This approach has enabled us to offer best-of-breed solutions, from the deployment of cutting-edge Software-Defined Wide Area Network (SD-WAN) in 2015 to Secure Access Service Edge (SASE) in 2016, multi-cloud network management in 2019, and the launch of Coevolve Smart Services in 2021. “The drive to evolve alongside the changing landscape is woven into our DNA, reinforcing our belief that agility and a client-centric mindset based on enduring quality and trust are fundamental to delivering sustainable, high-impact results.” – Tim Sullivan, Co-Founder and CEO, Coevolve.
Marking 10 Years of Partnership
As we celebrate a decade of delivering transformative network solutions to AWI, we look forward to continuing this journey that started in 2015 with the deployment of SD-WAN. This strategic shift in AWI’s network architecture involved moving away from high-cost, inflexible MPLS to a streamlined, software-defined model that enhanced performance, security, and visibility across their global locations. By replacing legacy MPLS with Internet-based SD-WAN, we not only addressed AWI’s growing bandwidth needs, meeting the demands of multimedia and cloud-based applications but also provided substantial cost savings, cutting network expenditure by over 60%.
Sullivan adds, “We’re grateful for our partnership with AWI over the past decade as it exemplifies the resilience and growth that can be achieved through client-centric partnerships. As we look ahead, we remain steadfast in our commitment to evolving with the times – championing transformative technology that propels our clients to new heights. Here’s to another decade of innovation, collaboration, and success amplifying the unique Woolmark brand.”
The Next Era of Network Transformation
Looking ahead, our focus shifts toward the next phase of network transformation, with an increased focus on converging network and security to support AWI’s digital ambitions and prepare them for an increasingly interconnected digital world.
Today, AWI is fully equipped to protect and manage user access, thanks to robust security measures such as Zero Trust principles and consistent global security policies. This approach reduces risk and enhances AWI’s ability to oversee and control network traffic, solidifying its position at the forefront of secure, agile, and resilient network operations.
