Challenge: IT organizations are under pressure to quickly enable and support a rapidly growing mobile workforce. The explosion in permutations of access technologies, devices, security applications and corporate policies that enterprise mobility requires makes this mandate increasingly difficult. Common issues include:
- Business disruption and drain on IT resources for end-user training and documentation whenever technology, corporate policies or employees change.
- Interoperability between devices, connectivity software, proprietary security applications and access service providers.
- Sourcing and support for multiple 3G service providers.
- Selective provisioning of network access and enforcing policies for end-user groups or individuals.
- Updating mobile access profiles and policies through manual configuration on each device.
- Non-standard environment making support inefficient for IT staff and end-users.
- Inability to easily deploy and support new technologies, for example 4G/WiMAX networks.
Solution: A unified approach for deploying, maintaining and updating access permissions and policies for wireless and wireline technologies. Through Trellia's Policy Manager, IT can centrally define, configure and deploy access credentials and policies to the whole mobile workforce or user groups. It dramatically reduces deployment time and effort and ongoing support costs.
- Centrally configure and silently deploy Wi-Fi access points, 3G data cards and WiMAX service.
- Easily deploy and manage multiple 3G carrier services and data cards with one solution.
- Leverage one platform for all access and access policy, provisioning, enforcement and updates.
- Add/remove/edit access rights and policies in seconds.
- Enable mobile user groups with varying levels of access and related policy settings.
