Case Study: Goldman Sachs achieves full network visibility and safer change assurance with Forward Networks

Goldman Sachs uses Forward Enterprise to model entire 15,000+ device network

Goldman Sachs, a leading global banking, securities, and investment management firm, needed a better way to manage its complex multi-vendor network of more than 15,000 devices. The team was replacing an internally built path tool that only covered part of the network, wanted a visual way to diagram and export network data, and needed to verify connectivity for critical applications. They turned to Forward Networks and its Forward Enterprise platform.

Forward Networks implemented Forward Enterprise Search, Topology, and Verify to provide end-to-end path analysis, full network visualization, and application readiness checks. As a result, Goldman Sachs gained a single source of truth for its network, improved operational efficiency, and reduced change-related incidents. The platform scaled across the entire 15,000+ device environment and helped confirm application functionality and change assurance.
