Business advisory firm Grant Thornton has signed a £2 million remote access deal with Vodafone.
Under the two-year contract, Vodafone will manage and secure Grant Thornton’s mobile network.
Using the Vodafone Secure Remote Access platform, Grant Thornton will provide high-speed remote data transmission for its entire remote workforce, while monitoring security.
Registration is free, and gives you full access to our extensive white paper library, case studies & analysis, downloads & speciality areas, and more.
Grant Thornton has over 3,500 employees who need to work remotely, meeting clients. With many staff in varied locations, it needed a manageable way of ensuring they had remote access.
The system has a tailored capability to report on usage, as well as a centralised set of controls for security enforcement.
The company said the platform was also lower cost and simpler than rival technology. Staff can use a “one button” connection to switch on to a range of mobile and fixed networks, including 3G, WiFi and fixed broadband.
Greg Swift, UK IT director at Grant Thornton, said: "By centralising the management of our mobile network, our staff have another enhanced service delivery tool that further increases our already high client satisfaction."
