If yours is like many companies, you've seen your remote access demands grow and grow. Many companies have found it economical to outsource remote access services. However, some of the first wave of outsourcers have found remote access becoming so critical that it's time to bring it back in-house. But even if you think you've got your remote access situation under control, think again. The whole definition of remote is changing.
Remote today means way, way out of the office, but still stationary.
A remotely connected user is typically sitting next to a phone jack at an airport, in a hotel or at home. The incredible rise of remote access has come about because today access to the corporate network has become a daily requirement for success. In the near future, however, your users will need pretty much continuous access to the network while out of the office. You'll need to build access solutions that keep your clients tied to the corporate net wherever they might be. Wireless, analog and digital connectivity will be required, depending on where your user is and what services are available.
