Case Study: SOS Children’s Villages International achieves a secure, transparent digital backbone with Open Systems

A Decentralized Organization Must Have A Strong Digital Backbone

SOS Children’s Villages International, a decentralized NGO operating across 136 countries, needed a strong, visible digital backbone to support shared applications and tightly budgeted IT operations. Facing limited local IT talent and the need for professional connectivity and cybersecurity, the organization turned to Open Systems and deployed Open Systems Secure SD-WAN with 24x7 operations and security monitoring.

Open Systems delivered a centrally managed solution—including the Open Systems Customer Portal and Mission Control NOC/SOC support—that provided full service transparency, faster troubleshooting, and continuous security monitoring. As a result, SOS Children’s Villages International gained a reliable infrastructure that enabled digitalization projects (ERP rollouts and continued O365 services), freed the Network Services team to focus on strategic work, and moved to a predictable, single yearly fee with no financial surprises.
