Blog Post - Lower total cost of ownership with SD-WAN [June 2025]

Lower your local government’s total cost of ownership (TCO) with SD-WAN

The latter, a concept broadly known as total cost of ownership or TCO, can weigh heavily on the minds of many public-sector leaders.

Yet this challenge also presents an opportunity creative local government CIOs can seize by utilizing a networking innovation already in widespread use in the private sector.
