Simple Secure Remote Access

Enable your users get access to data and services Anytime, Anyplace Anywhere. Changing working models coupled with real world problems such as recent weather problems, global pandemics means that employees can't or shouldn't always have to physically get to the office in order to perform their duties. Ward Solutions have been providing our customers with cost effective, secure, scalable and simple Remote Access and teleworking solutions for over 10 years. With the advent of SSL VPN based remote access solutions the historical barriers of cost and deployment complexity to these solutions has been removed.

Users can now get a LAN type experience from either a corporate laptop or even their own unmanaged home desktop (if your security policy allows) of access to their normal data applications and services. This access can be provided with near “zero touch” provisioning by IT staff to these devices - again eliminating historical barriers to deployment of these solutions.

Deploying a Remote Access Solution is not just an invaluable quick win for your organisation and users - it can also be an invaluable component of your Business Continuity Planning - offering access to data and services to your users from home in the event of a large scale disaster at your premises or even a health and safety issue - such as a pandemic outbreak in your office.
