Cisco AnyConnect

Business doesn't always happen at the office, so a remote solution is a must-have! How do you calculate that ROI?

I don't have hard numbers to give, unfortunately.

Simpler remote workforce

Easy SAML authentication

Cisco AnyConnect has been a stable and long term tool for managing our network access.

Cisco AnyConnect remains the industry standard, and its familiarity across the industry makes it easy to work with on new projects.

Allows users to work from home and traveling with ease

Allows remote users to work as if they are at the office

Reconnects after internet outage

It enables your users to access corporate applications anytime and from anywhere resulting good productivity

It ensures you corporate data security

Securing devices

AnyConnect enabled the company, especially during the pandemic time, the whole workforce could go from one day to another into their home offices and quarantine and from this time on work from home in a very stable way as they would work at their workplace. So we are talking about the 2000 connections instead of the 200 we normally had before the pandemic. And so this enabled the company to adapt to this situation and make the best out of it and be productive immediately.

High level of security

My department does not have access to these numbers

Not cheapest solution.

Hard to send the correct errors to sys admins.

N/A

It definitely enables people to connect with colleagues who work in remote areas and different parts of the business all over Australia. I think mentally it's a good benefit for everyone to connect, even if it's remotely.

Users able to use corporate applications from anywhere, it helped us to improve efficiency

Users able to use applications 24x7, even after office hours

Zero downtime ensures you no work is getting hampered

Can work without being in office

During Covid, we had everything setup to completely handle the new WFH environments resulting in minimal issues during the transition.

Since all of our users have laptops they are able to use unoccupied offices to connect to docks, then connect to the Cisco AnyConnect VPN, and Work Anywhere.

Cisco AnyConnect allows our users to be more flexible in thier hours when appropriate since they can remote into the office at night to do maintenance and run server intensive reports and batch mods when nobody is accessing the system.

Cisco AnyConnect allows us to have a new 100% WFH type of employee accommodating the new world we find ourselves in and expanding our hiring potential beyond our physical office locations.

So far, yes. And I think that having this product already before the pandemic started was really lucky for us. I mean it was really to a further extent having some other firewall, Cisco Fire Powers in place, it was easy to use them as a gateway for the AnyConnect lines, which were already installed on all the user pieces. So it was just enabling the business to work during the pandemic. I think that's the best example we had.
