The three pillars of Zen’s SD-WAN Professional Services

Each of our core pillars plays a specific role in supporting your SD-WAN journey.

Project management

Smooth, structured programme delivery from experienced project managers who keep everything aligned and on track. We’ll coordinate activity across your internal teams, third parties and Zen specialists to make sure your deployment stays controlled, predictable and running smoothly.

Design, build and deploy

Our network architects and engineers shape your SD-WAN solution around your business goals, working across both Cisco Catalyst and Cisco Meraki platforms. Whether you need deep customisation or a simpler cloud-managed approach, we design the topology, policies and configurations that best fit your organisation.

Once your design is agreed, we move seamlessly into build and rollout – testing the architecture, validating performance and deploying site by site. It’s a delivery approach that keeps quality high, minimises disruption and ensures your SD-WAN is right first time and ready to scale.

Field services

Delivered via trusted partners, our field services teams provide the on-site support needed for reliable installation, testing and handover. From hardware swaps to site visits and user-side preparation, they’ll make sure every location is ready for transition. It’s practical, on-site support that keeps your rollout running smoothly and removes pressure from your internal teams.

A clear path to successful service transitions

Modernising your network doesn’t have to be disruptive. Our structured transition process guides you from initial scoping to handover, with a focus on transparency, collaboration and proactive communication.

We combine proven methodology with real-world experience – helping you move at the right pace while minimising risk.
