It is all about making sure that the right product is in the right place at the right time and that the consumer can complete the purchase without any glitches. Whilst the brains of this is the function of your core applications, it is the IT infrastructure that underpins this and needs to have performance and reliability. With the ever increasing threat from cyber criminals the whole environment needs to be secure and compliant with industry, financial and government legislations. In the rapidly changing world you want a partner who will work with you and be able to react to the rapidly changing business and consumer requirements.
For your head office you might want:
- High throughput and high availability next generation firewalls
- Intrusion prevention system to protect core business systems
- Secure remote access with dual factor authentication for remote access from any location
- Multiple diverse routed links with automated load balancing to guarantee availability and yet ensure you are getting value out of all assets
For the high street outlets:
- High availability to ensure consumers can make the purchase and financial transactions can be authorised
- Segregation of networks for EPOS terminals and Payment gateway
- Encryption of all data across the network to ensure strong security and to help compliance with banking and government requirements
- Flexibility to allow your business to change with changing consumer demands
