Evidence finding
Martyn Coleman, IT Business Partner at FRC Group, is quoted directly on BT's SD-WAN product page about moving away from a self managed WAN. FRC Group operates as a UK charity retailer and social enterprise. According to Coleman, the switch to BT Managed SD-WAN gave his team access to expert technical knowledge whenever they needed it. That reference works particularly well for not for profit and social enterprise prospects, where a lean internal IT team is often the reason for outsourcing WAN management in the first place.
