Canadian investment firm Odlum Brown replaced aging firewalls, fragmented branch configurations, limited visibility, and costly MPLS links with a unified Fortinet architecture. FortiGate Next-Generation Firewalls, FortiSwitch, FortiAP, and Secure SD-WAN created a consistent network across seven locations, while virtual FortiGate appliances in Microsoft Azure established a cloud-ready hub. Automated policy updates reduced tasks such as application whitelisting from hours to minutes. Real-time diagnostics now identify network issues before users notice them, helping the IT team operate at least 75% faster. Replacing MPLS with dynamic SD-WAN routing saves approximately $170,000 annually while improving application performance, resiliency, segmentation, and end-to-end security visibility.
