The client
Quality is essential to ensure operational performance, so it employs a world-class team of metallurgists and engineers.
The challenges
Whilst this enabled users to select from a multitude of cross-platform devices and work from a variety of locations, the company wanted to ensure tighter levels of security for devices accessing their system from outside the network.
Materials Solutions tasked its managed services specialist partner, Nasstar, with finding a solution that was easy to deploy and scale up or down as the company needed.
Our goal
The outcome
The solution supports a wide range of devices, including iOS, Android, Blackberry, and Windows Phone, and integrates seamlessly with third-party platforms like Citrix and various VPNs. This ensures secure access for employees regardless of location or device.
SecureAccess significantly improved the security of Materials Solutions’ cross-platform environment, protecting sensitive data across mobile and desktop endpoints.
With a “per user, per month” pricing model, the company gains cost control and scalability. Adding new users incurs minimal cost, making the solution adaptable to changing business needs.
Accent Housing now benefits from a sophisticated Unified Communications and Contact Centre system that supports omni-channel customer service and enhances collaboration across its geographically-dispersed teams.
"With the number of attacks that exploit vulnerabilities in user authentication constantly increasing, Nasstar's SecureAccess solution provides Materials Solutions with the added layer of security needed to minimise the risk to our business."
