Access Infrastructure
Access Infrastructure as a Core Business System
Business runs on information. Yet getting the right information securely, easily and instantly to everyone who needs it, when they need it, is difficult. And it’s becoming more difficult as more and more people are conducting business remotely – unpredictably moving from location to location, using multiple access devices, and connecting with a wide range of heterogeneous applications over wired, wireless and Web networks.
This fundamental need explains why access infrastructure has become a core business system that drives competitive advantage. Access infrastructure addresses one of the basic technical challenges businesses face today: the need to provide secure access to private information over both trusted and untrusted networks. It does this by connecting devices, networks and applications into a system that is secure by design, that consolidates applications into a central location for more efficient management and effective control, and that provides secure, easy and instant access to any information source, for any authorized user, from anywhere, using any connection.
As a result, Access Infrastructure can transform any organization into an on-demand enterprise. This means that, for a single investment in access infrastructure, businesses get two key benefits: improved operational efficiency that reduces the cost of running the business, and accelerated agility that enables the business to capitalize on more opportunities for growing the business.
- Access
“Access” is a strategy and solution (or set of strategies/solutions) that provide an integrated and consistent computing Access Infrastructure, for “on demand” organizations.
This allows organizations to give employees and/or customers secure, easy and instant access to appropriate applications, information, processes and peopleIT centrally manages the entire access infrastructure, simplifying application deployment, monitoring and measurement, and this also ensures that only the right people have access to the right applications, even at the right times!
Virtually any computing device or connection can be fully integrated into the infrastructure, from in-office workstations to remote-office terminals to mobile PCs and devices, providing everyone with “on demand” access.
