The best answer is adopting a hybrid approach . As he explains , it ’ s clear that , while contributing enormous benefits , digital transformation and moving to the cloud comes with many challenges . That tension is exactly what Bell ’ s offering seeks to remedy . “ We just launched , in partnership with Zscaler , a fullymanaged , cloud-based , secure access service edge ( SASE ) internet protection service . “ The benefit of our service is that we deploy Zscaler ’ s technology within our Bell infrastructure , giving our customers access to all of our nodes across Canada , thus helping to remove the latency challenges commonly faced by our customers who deploy a full cloud architecture ,” says Gagnon .
