Learn How a Fast-Growing Real Estate Management Company Streamlined IT with TTBS SD-WAN iFLX

Managing IT for a growing commercial real estate network is challenging—especially if you’re a lean, two-member IT team overseeing more than 15 offices across multiple cities. One real estate firm discovered this the hard way. Their footprint was expanding fast, but their IT infrastructure couldn’t keep pace. The result? Constant scrambling, disjointed systems, and a laundry list of headaches.

The Hidden Complexity of Firewall Management

Among the biggest pain points was firewall management. Each property used a different vendor, each with its own renewal cycle. "It felt like we were juggling a dozen spinning plates", said the IT lead. "One property needed a renewal; another needed an update—and we never had a single view to track everything".

But the real crisis emerged during audits. When auditors asked for firewall logs from multiple sites, the IT team realized they simply couldn’t generate them from a central location. What should have been routine turned into weeks of digging around, contacting vendors, and piecing together incomplete data. "We felt embarrassed", the IT manager admitted. "It looked like we weren’t on top of our own systems".

How TTBS SD-WAN iFLX Solved the Problem

Determined to gain control over their expanding network, they turned to TTBS SD-WAN iFLX. Almost immediately, they saw three major improvements:

• 1. Unified Firewall Oversight: 

  Instead of juggling multiple platforms, the IT team now had a single, centralized dashboard for all firewall management. Renewals, updates, and configuration changes became infinitely easier to handle.

• 2. Automatic Log Capture: 

  Auditors no longer forced the team into a last-minute scramble. Every firewall event was now automatically logged and stored. “When the next audit came, we just connected them to TTBS,” the IT manager said. “Problem solved.”

• 3. Prioritized Critical Apps: 

  With SD-WAN iFLX, business-critical apps—like SAP—received guaranteed bandwidth. Gone were the days of slow application performance whenever a remote site was overloaded.

Reducing Chaos and Enabling Growth

The real estate firm’s two-member IT team began experiencing dramatic time savings. Configuration changes at a new property, which once took weeks, now took under two weeks. Firewall vendor confusion disappeared as everything was consolidated under TTBS SD-WAN iFLX. "We used to say we were ‘firefighting’ every day", the IT lead recalled. "Now, we’re actually building the IT infrastructure to support our growth."

Why It Matters

For any fast-growing real estate operation, a patchwork of firewall vendors and manual logs can slow progress and damage credibility—especially when audits or unexpected events arise. By adopting TTBS SD-WAN iFLX, this firm not only simplified audits and vendor management but also set the stage for improved application performance and future expansion.

"Our network finally works for us, not against us", the IT manager said. "It’s exactly what we needed to keep pace with our business".
