"Migrating to the SaskTel VPN Aggregation option over LANspan IP has saved South East Cornerstone School Division $80, 000 over a four-year period through reduced hardware and licensing costs.

In addition, we can leverage VPN Aggregation as we migrate to fiber-based WAN services; we can potentially eliminate the network distribution layer and rely entirely on SaskTel routers at the school level, which could additionally save well over $250, 000 every four years.

Also, using SaskTel's managed VPN service instead of having to manage our own IPsec VPN solution has saved us an estimated $80,000 - $160,000 in labour costs over the past four years."
