How to create a business case for a managed Network-as-a-Service model

Create a business case that gets approved

Most enterprise networks grew by accident. Market by market. Provider by provider. What once enabled growth now slows it down.

This practical guide shows you how to build a clear, credible business case for moving to a managed Network-as-a-Service (NaaS) model. One that aligns IT, finance, security, and procurement around outcomes leaders actually care about.

What’s inside the guide?

Executives want proof. Finance wants clarity. Security wants control. IT needs a model that works at scale.

Use our business case template​ to:

  • Build an executive summary that frames network issues in business terms
  • Align network decisions to growth, resilience, and efficiency goals
  • Define ownership, accountability, and governance across teams
  • Scope a managed NaaS initiative without getting lost in technical detail
  • Quantify benefits, avoided risk, and ROI beyond simple cost savings
  • Compare realistic alternatives and justify a managed NaaS operating model
  • Structure approvals to accelerate sign-off, not stall it

Each section includes guidance, examples, and language you can adapt directly into your own business case.
