The company wanted to deliver IT services faster, reduce MPLS backhauling expenses and appliance maintenance fees, support remote workers with cloud edge security close to the user, add visibility into cloud applications to strengthen overall security, and consolidate cloud and web security into one platform, console, and policy engine.
