Providing off-campus mobility and access to applications

Access to information is the fundamental requirement for a successful and stimulating educational environment. Today, more and more information is available electronically in a Virtual Learning Environment. By using an SSL VPN to bridge the un-trusted network edge into your Virtual Learning Environment you can create a secure portal giving each user access to the resources he/she is authorized to use from any internet connected device with a web browser in any location.

Data Integration has successfully designed such solutions for a number of Universities and Colleges and integrated it with their existing directory authentication services. This enables the institutions IT teams to set up and manage granular policies based on the different roles of staff and students.

The same SSL VPN platform can be used to enable collaborative working with third parties such as suppliers and partners which is simpler to manage and more cost-effective than having to maintain separate systems for different groups of users.
