Branch Office Connectivity

Factsheet Access Solutions 31/01/2008

A single, seamless, fully-secure IT infrastructure

As an organisation grows, so too can its geographic spread. When an enterprise spans some distance - perhaps even extending beyond national boundaries and overseas - serious connectivity issues can arise. Yet naturally it is important that a corporate IT system remains consistent and seamlessly productive - whether access is required from a branch office across the street or from an affiliate site many miles away.

Through a Citrix Branch Office Connectivity solution from ISC, one of the UK's premier IT solution providers, your organisation will be perfectly placed to solve these problems.

The main effect - and substantial benefit -  of ISC's Branch Office Connectivity solution is to provide all your staff with a single and consistent IT system. Even if your branch offices span great distances, the IT functionality, applications and look'n'feel of each remain identical. All users can roam between company sites at will, whilst overall company performance is optimised - even across narrow intersite links.

Branch Office Connectivity is designed to increase productivity, reduce your operating costs and improve security. Diverse branch-office platforms and technologies become a single cohesive network, pan-enterprise integration takes place from a single location, and the costs of site visits by engineers are virtually eliminated.

  • Seamless, reliable, secure enterprise IT access
  • Full branch-office functionality - even over low bandwidths
  • Server resources & IT support centralised
  • Rapid integration of new offices
  • Lower total cost of technology ownership - save on PC upgrades, telecomms & staff training
  • Existing software/hardware lifespans extended
