The Next Generation of Remote Access: Three Case Studies

Overview Providing remote access is no longer sufficient. Securely enabling productive work outside the office requires something else — something broader, smarter and more productive. This whitepaper addresses the new definition of enterprise mobility, which can be defined by the following characteristics:

Eliminating network boundaries (making work possible independent of location or platform).
Providing secure access to authorized users (implying the notion of audit and reporting).
Providing a consistent and high quality user experience (more about getting work done and less about physically getting to work).

Typical VPN setups include technology that requires hardware and/or software purchases. Learn how a new form of remote access is changing the way enterprises enable worker productivity. Included are three case studies on how this technology is being utilized in the healthcare, financial services, and educational markets.
