In today’s evolving business environment, companies of all sizes are embracing collaboration as a means to build relationships, enhance productivity and drive innovation. Online Collaboration solutions enable users to connect with people, files and workflow tools from anywhere, on any device, no matter where their teams are located. 



The Challenge

Your users want to access their data from wherever they are and they want to share that data with their peers in a simple manner. This is causing many organisations to struggle with security and IT compliance challenges as multi-device users are turning to consumer file sync services (Google, Box, DropBox...). Additionally, the move to flexible working is causing users to become frustrated with the complexity of accessing existing file storage locations from tablets, smartphones, and Macs.

The problem is, how do you deliver highly flexible, secure data access and sharing in a cost effective way?



With the proliferation of laptops, smart phones and tablets, collectively called mobile or endpoints, employees increasingly:

• Leave critical data on laptops unprotected. Over 28% of corporate data resides exclusively on laptops, of which only 35% are regularly backed up.


• Expose sensitive corporate data on mobile devices, which they bring into the enterprise (BYOD trend).


• Create security and compliance issues for IT as they share files using consumer-grade applications.



These trends are creating challenges for IT, which must ensure that:

• Critical corporate data residing on endpoints is securely backed up.
• Sensitive corporate data residing on endpoints does not fall into wrong hands.
• Corporate data shared between employees and with external entities is secure.



IT must further ensure that:

• Endpoint solutions for backup and file sharing are not obtrusive to users.
• End users do not have to deal with multiple solutions for backup, file sharing and collaboration.
• IT Security and visibility do not compromise end user experience.




Solution Features & Benefits















Empower BYOD
 
> (Bring Your Own Device) initiatives, and share files securely.



Empower Collaboration

> Utilise access and user identity controls to enable secure collaboration

Next generation access control solutions centrally manage everything, so there is no need to invest in any specific collaboration platforms, or use access control to integrate with existing systems to provide true security protection.

> Enables employees and managers to collaborate with partners, service providers, and multiple offices or agencies - all with a single identity and logon.


> Guest / Visitor Access Management
  • Centrally control and govern access rights to data and files rights, based on user and guest identity.
  • Simplifying guest access, so that receptionists, employees and other non-IT staff to create temporary guest accounts for secure Wi-Fi and wired Internet access.
  • Self-registration, sponsor and bulk credential creation supports any guest access need – enterprise, retail, education, large public venue.


> Collaboration without the headaches
  • Share information with many different external users and 3rd party organisations.
  • User identity and access rights are controlled centrally and can filter access to only those services that are relevant to a user’s job and location.
  • Allows internal web based content (on SharePoint or other web services) to be shared automatically with external users, avoiding the need to use email or the cost of duplicating materials to an extranet.
  • The solution supports all platforms and browsers, so administrators do not need to know what devices partners are connecting from.

> Enable Rapid Deployment of Collaboration Projects
Setup group and individual user access policies in hours rather than days, from initial setup to one-touch connectivity from any device - saves on the lengthy process of having to recall user devices into the IT department for software agent installs and testing.
