What is Circuit Aggregation and Why is it Important?

Circuit aggregation is the process of consolidating multiple network providers into one, allowing organizations to manage their global or regional connectivity in a centralized, efficient manner.

Common pre-aggregation solution challenges:

• Complex procurement: IT teams must research and field quotes from multiple providers when seeking diversity and lowest costing for new locations. 

• Multiple invoices and accounts: Even if a TEM solution is in place, multiple accounts across multiple invoices can create issues and sometimes lead to unpaid bills and downtime.

• Shadow IT: Ordering at the site level can vary from corporate IT strategy and make it difficult to maintain an accurate inventory

• Deployment: Small business services such as Cable or Fiber broadband lack Provider project management making installations a cumbersome experience

• Repair challenges: IT teams must manage services through multiple provider portals or provider repair resources.

How a circuit aggregator solves these challenges:

• Simplified procurement: Aggregators have hundreds of underlying ISP options inclusive of all service types such as fiber broadband, satellite, cable, LTE, DIA, WAN, optimized cloud and datacenter connections.

• Cost efficiency: Volume discounting based on your total site volume regardless of how many underlying providers and Countries are part of your solution.

• Consolidated and advanced billing. One admin portal for visibility into inventory, billing, and repair ticket management for all services.

• Managed deployment One dedicated project manager for all orders regardless of underlying provider. Cadence meetings for streamlined communication.

• Enterprise grade support: One portal and a single resource for all services paired with a Client Success Manager and Account Manager to support you.

• Consistent policies: Uniform security and policies across all locations

• Uniform Monitoring: Circuit and hardware monitoring options across your entire footprint.

In summary: Circuit aggregation provides a more efficient, manageable, cost-effective way for organizations with dispersed locations to handle their connectivity requirements, ensuring faster repair times, lower overall costs and an Enterprise grade client experience from procurement through post-implementation ticketing.
