Technology to the Rescue

A local media firm has four branches in nearby locations, due to the operations in different locations and lack of streamlining of the sales and purchases in a systematic manner at a centralized location, the customer base was badly affected resulting in a drop in the sales.  To overcome this problem the company is required to set up a centralized data center like WAN (Wide Area Network) from where the employees from all the four locations can access the inventory for stock updates.  Using the WAN system makes it easier to transfer data faster from one location to another, and it is also cheaper and easy to access and catalog records from a remote location.  The work flow is more flexible as you have more control on the records thus giving the required priority to cataloging the records and communication among employees of different locations.

To overcome the issues of online security all the access to the enterprise network should be secured, this can be done by applying the device identity for control of access, securing the LAN and the remote VPN is very important in this sort of mechanism. In this methodology the authentication process is secured by using the Transport Layer Security to have more security between the authentication service and the device, this works in a similar fashion to web security between the browser and the web server. By using the WAN system the company can ensure zero tolerance of errors and all the transactions can be done on a customized intranet website, and web servers put up at the centralized data center can cater to the needs of the online web traffic by helping with online sales. Using Access control mechanisms by maintaining access control lists on authentication basis is also another solution to network security. The growing needs of online connectivity and usage, risks exposure to attacks from malware, an operative authentication device for network connectivity is very important to overcome the risk of probable malware attack. By using WAN, the company can have better service and improved productivity, combined savings and can easily manage and arrange traffic as per requirements.
