Toll embarked on a transformative journey to modernise its network infrastructure, enhancing security, connectivity, and operational efficiency as part of its cloud-centric technology strategy. An initial discovery phase identified gaps in network automation, security consistency, and scalability. To address these challenges, Versent designed and implemented a DevOps-driven approach leveraging Azure Pipelines for CI/CD and GitHub as the version control system (VCS), ensuring repeatable, secure, and scalable deployments.

Versent’s engagement focused on building an automated network deployment and management framework through:

• GitHub as the Source of Truth – Centralised version control with governance best practices for network configuration and infrastructure code.

• Azure Pipelines for CI/CD – Fully automated deployment of network infrastructure, eliminating manual intervention and reducing errors.

• Infrastructure as Code with Terraform – Automating the provisioning and configuration of Virtual WAN (vWAN) hubs and cloud routers.

• Automated Security Policy Enforcement – Embedding security policies and governance checks into CI/CD pipelines.

• Continuous Testing & Validation – Automated test scenarios to validate connectivity, security posture, and performance improvements.

• Cloud-to-Cloud Connectivity Automation – Establishing automated secure networking between Azure and AWS, bypassing traditional data centre routing.

By embedding DevOps automation into the network transformation, Toll achieved:

• 100% automation of network deployments using Azure Pipelines and Terraform.
• 30% reduction in latency by automating cloud-to-cloud connectivity, eliminating inefficient data centre routing.
• 40% reduction in manual effort, enabling faster and more consistent network configuration.
• 50% faster site deployments, significantly improving Toll’s ability to scale operations.
• Stronger security governance, with policies enforced automatically in every deployment.

Versent’s DevOps-driven approach positioned Microsoft Azure as Toll’s central hub for network connectivity, enabling seamless integration between cloud platforms and data centres. By replacing manual network configurations with Azure Pipelines automation, Toll can now rapidly scale, secure, and optimise its network infrastructure with confidence.

Through collaboration, automation, and modern engineering practices, Versent has equipped Toll with a future-ready network foundation, accelerating its digital transformation and enabling continued business innovation.
