Quick Answer
When should you assess managed WAN?
The short answer
Assess managed WAN ahead of a renewal, renovation, occupancy change, or support gap — and any time carrier diversity, failover, routing, monitoring, escalation, and contract ownership no longer match how the building actually operates. Assessing early keeps the work planned rather than reactive.

Triggers that should start an assessment
Waiting for a failure removes your options on managed WAN. Renewals, capital planning cycles, and end-of-support notices are the moments when an assessment still changes the outcome.
Assess when any of these are true
- A service contract or lease is up for renewal
- Renovation, expansion, or an occupancy change is planned
- Equipment is approaching end of support
- Staff are working around the system instead of with it
