A growing organization in the Philippines with a hybrid work setup faced increasing challenges in providing seamless and secure remote access to essential business applications. With different departments relying on various tools—from in-house web applications to developer platforms—the company needed a solution that ensured employees could access only the applications relevant to their roles, without compromising security or efficiency.
Traditional VPN solutions proved cumbersome, often causing connectivity issues and experiencing performance issues. To address these concerns, the company turned to CT Link for a more efficient and secure remote access solution powered by TSplus.
The Challenge
The organization encountered several key challenges that hindered its ability to effectively manage remote access:
- Application Access Complexity: With different departments using distinct applications, managing access permissions through traditional methods was inefficient and prone to errors.
- Security Concerns: Providing secure remote access without exposing sensitive company data to unauthorized users was a major concern.
- Cumbersome VPN Access: Employees found VPN connections slow and unreliable, affecting productivity and user experience.
These obstacles highlighted the need for a secure, user-friendly remote access solution that could support a hybrid workforce without compromising security or operational efficiency.
How CT Link Helped
CT Link worked closely with the company to implement a secure remote access solution using TSplus. This approach streamlined application access management while enhancing security and usability for employees.
