The Challenge
Prokit’s Industries Co., Ltd., a leading manufacturer of hand tools, power tools, soldering equipment, test instruments and accessories, was facing a significant challenge in increasing e-commerce adoption by its business partners and customers. The company needed to enable access to its internal and external business portals from multiple internet-enabled devices. This was crucial for the company's global operations, with distribution to more than 90 countries worldwide and a sales and distribution network covering five continents. Additionally, Prokit’s was looking to reduce costs and simplify network security management. The company required a highly secure solution to enable remote access to its distribution and business partner portals from multiple internet-enabled devices. It was also necessary to ensure robust security for a variety of managed and unmanaged PCs and mobile devices accessing the network, provide seamless remote access to distribution and business portals, and maximize efficiency through centralized network security management.
