Most organisations have remote access solutions in place to enable executives and key staff to access internal systems and services, while away from the office.
Typically delivered through VPN or Remote terminal sessions such as Citrix, many existing remote access solutions are extremely expensive and unpractical to scale to the entire company, from both a capital investment and IT overhead perspective. Solutions such as VPN also increase the risk of security issues and limit access to only those with authorised company laptop computers.
