Procurement & Finance Insights — Making AI Networking Pay Off
As a procurement or finance leader, your job is to make every dollar deliver measurable value — and to build a strategy that holds up for years.
Skip the browsing. Ask AI.
The challenge?
The market is noisy — every vendor promises AI, “open,” and TCO savings, but the evidence is rarely clear.
You’re asked to approve budgets without knowing how well the technology will perform in the real world, how quickly it can be deployed, or whether those savings will actually materialize. Vendor lock-in erodes your leverage in negotiations, refresh cycles create budget shocks, and long-term ROI can be hard to prove.

Everything You’ve Wanted to Know About AI Networking — For Procurement & Finance
How much can we realistically save with SONiC?
Those savings aren’t just projections — they’re based on real deployments. For example, one enterprise with a $5M CapEx + $2M OpEx spend saw $2.15M in direct savings within the first quarter. The best part? These savings compound over time, freeing the budget for innovation, security, and AI initiatives.
How does this help procurement in vendor negotiations?
SONiC supports a true multi-vendor environment, giving you real alternatives and competitive leverage. Whether it’s Cisco, NVIDIA, Dell, Celestica, or Edgecore, you can choose based on best fit and price — not because you’re locked in.
Will this make our operations more efficient?
Yes — SONiC’s modular, open architecture enables 30% faster upgrades, fewer manual touchpoints, and AI-driven observability with Network Copilot. One enterprise saw a 50% reduction in operational burden after deployment.
How does this support long-term financial planning?
Savings from SONiC can be reinvested into AI initiatives, NetOps automation, and security — all of which drive competitive advantage. McKinsey research shows IT reinvestment can accelerate revenue growth by 5–10%.
Are there examples of this working at scale?
Absolutely. Fortune 100 enterprises and some of the world’s largest e-commerce and retail networks have modernized with Aviz — achieving higher performance, lower costs, and greater agility for AI workloads.
How can we future-proof without paying a premium?
With SONiC, you can quadruple bandwidth, deploy AI fabrics, and roll out EVPN 30–50% faster — all while reducing MTTR by 25% and shrinking maintenance windows by 30%.Book a Procurement & Finance Strategy Session with our team.
