Directive
A team in their IT department had spent 4-6 months testing Virtual Private
Network (VPN) solutions and tried to collaborate to find one that worked
effectively in their environment. However, they were at an impasse.
I was brought in to facilitate the team, identify why they could not get on
the same page, and help them focus on selecting one solution as a pilot to
be used by
the sales department.
Remarks
I was able to isolate what the issues were between the team members and we
worked with the VPN vendors to address the issues and concerns, determining
if the issues were reconcilable in their environment. Within one month we
had many of the issues resolved, with one solution notably selected as the
best option for conducting a pilot to be used by the sales team.
The VPN solution selected successfully allowed the sales team to work
remotely, as if on-site using their network, while ensuring the security of
their network.
Results
A first year savings of about $50,000.
A 95% efficiency improvement.
ROI was 1 month.
