Effectively Manage and Secure Mobile Workplaces
Mobile workplaces are not only important for your company during a pandemic. The challenge in management is primarily to ensure and maintain security and data protection. Help with this is provided by the relevant requirements from BSI and ISO. The Spot Solution Remote Access Management supports meeting these requirements for the most common solutions.
In the current setup phase, the technical infrastructure is often not yet sufficient. This applies to bandwidth as well as access capacities and the technical equipment of the home workplace for employees. Efforts are still being made to resolve these bottlenecks.
Physical distance makes communication even more difficult for home workplaces. Quick discussions or inquiries can no longer be done with a walk to the responsible colleague. Every coordination requires picking up the phone or writing an email or ticket – a not insignificant time investment. Additionally, longer communication paths have been proven to lead to significantly more misunderstandings. Previously simple or not yet digitized processes become more cumbersome, tasks are sometimes misunderstood or not understood at all. Errors occur or another inquiry becomes necessary. Especially when working together on IT projects, working from home involves many additional work steps.
In the upcoming optimization phase, the goal will be to further improve the challenges of communication channels as well as the administration of access and permissions. Many of our customers already see a great need for this today and are therefore relying on further automating their IT tasks.
To support our customers in managing and securing mobile workplaces, we have developed the FLOWSTER Spot Solution Remote Access Management.

Conclusion
Without an automation strategy, the increasing demands on the digitization of processes and tasks can only be met in the future through higher response speeds and greater capacities. This applies, for example, to tasks such as granting and revoking temporary permissions for external employees or short-term tasks, deploying virtual machines, automated restart of various services, setting up new workplaces, up to the necessary documentation and relief of the most important IT resources.
