By the eNetworks team at Datacentrix

End-to-end software-defined connectivity services are fundamental to achieving digital transformation and secure connectivity from desk to cloud. Datacentrix' specialist teams, supported by the company’s always available managed services, connect the remote and mobile workforce to bandwidth-intensive applications, cloud services and unified communications.
 
To do their work, the mobile workforce uses multiple devices and relies on many applications, which they access directly via the internet. Consequently, companies everywhere are challenged with ensuring that their users have a safe, reliable and consistent digital experience.
 
Software-defined connectivity services remove the barriers of working remotely 

The mobile workforce accesses the company network, applications, and other software that runs in public or hybrid clouds, exposing organisations to increased risks and complexities.

• Security threats
• Secure access to the internet and company networks
• The complexity of user-to-app connections
• Bandwidth speed and costs
• Voice and data expenditure due to cellular phone and 3G data usage
• Last mile bottlenecks on cellular data networks, public Wi-Fi and home digital subscription connections;
• Unpredictable performance of business-critical applications

 
It is critical that organisations set up the right defences and have visibility into the cloud, into the applications, across all internet traffic, and at the endpoint – but are challenged by the volume and complexity of tools available and their own limited resources.
