Businesses are adopting cloud-driven services at an unprecedented rate and utilizing SaaS apps to deliver their services. With the hybrid workforce here to stay, enterprises are challenged with securely delivering an exceptional user experience. To navigate this journey, organizations are turning to managed service providers (MSPs) to act as trusted advisors and guide them through product selection, deployment, and implementation.
However, MSPs often face several challenges with legacy solutions that fail to address the demands of today's branch. As a result, MSPs need to consider adding managed SD-WAN services to their portfolios to deliver flexible networks that provide WAN capacity, direct access to all apps, and secure users, apps, and devices while simplifying IT teams' operations.

By partnering with Palo Alto Networks, MSPs can deliver comprehensive SD-WAN services to their enterprise customers, take advantage of predictable revenue streams, and reduce capital expenditure and operational costs by simplifying and consolidating networking services with a usage-based model.

With Prisma SD-WAN, MSPs can assess their customers’ network and infrastructure from a unified dashboard, automate complex operations, and accelerate incident detection and diagnosis to remediation. As a result, MSPs can gather complete insights into network performance and end-user experience, deliver customized value-added services with higher profit margins, and build their offerings through a delivery-as-a-service model.
