## Description

London Borough of Islington signed a call off contract with our incumbent service provider to deliver a fully managed, secure, and resilient network to approximately 110 sites across the borough\. Implementation of a new WAN involves the physical installation of circuits and equipment into all council buildings\. It is crucial that the Council maintains a fully functioning, secure and supported Wide Area Network \(WAN\) to provide connectivity from LBI buildings to Council IT services\. 5\.3\.1\. The next generation of WAN paves the way for better integration with Cloud-based applications meaning there is less dependence for on-premises hardware and infrastructure\. This will therefore reduce the Council's energy consumption although we acknowledge that this is offset by the energy consumption from within the cloud-based solution\.
