Providing access for mobile or remote government workers

Data Integration was one of the first UK integrators to implement SSL VPN solutions for local government. These solutions provide much simpler and more controllable access than traditional IPSec VPNs or dial-up servers.

Our solutions can be implemented transparently into an existing infrastructure without requiring any significant network changes and they enable you to consolidate the full range of your remote access requirements through a single controlled access gateway.

The benefits:

'Participation'

• Give employees and Elected Members easy access to resources from home via their domestic broadband or dial-up connections through a single gateway.
• Enable secure access to information via non-government-owned home PC's or even internet cafes.
• Control user's access to services according to your own policy.
• Ensure compliance with your desktop security policy using intelligent endpoint security/host checking.
• Use the same solution as a cost effective way to enable online meetings between Members.

Home working

• Our clientless VPN solution combined with thin client technology enables user-friendly access for all home working council staff.
• Widespread domestic broadband connections now make the prospect of home working a viable cost saving solution.
• Low set up and support costs make clientless VPNs suitable to enable flexible working for users that may only need occasional remote access.

Third Party Access

• Provide a single web platform to enable access for the many third party organisations and agencies that need to access your network, without the need to open security holes in your Internet gateway.
• Restrict third party access to only those services they require and receive a full activity log which can be used for auditing purposes.

Host web portals for related authorities

Host portals for other authorities and departments in your area (e.g. borough or district councils and social services) on the same gateway device. This can provide a best value means for a number of authorities to provide access for employees and partners.
