Software
Enabling a remote workforce isn’t just about providing the right devices and equipment to let employees work outside of the office. You need collaboration platforms, VPN technologies, and security tools to protect your network and keep your users productive.
Virtual Private Network (VPN)
Is your VPN capable of supporting an influx of new users, or will it be pushed to the limit if you expand your remote user base? Talk to your Account Manager about VPN constraints, licensing considerations, and available bandwidth to ensure you’re ready for the demands of a large remote workforce.
Security Software
Your corporate network extends to every device your employees use. Which means your applications, resources, and data can be at risk if those devices are not properly secured. Put the right security applications in place today and protect your network to the very edge.
