Providing an Australian-hosted workspace for an offshore team
Large Australian recruitment company with an offshore operations team
The challenge
A large Australian recruitment company employs an offshore team of more than ten people who need access to business applications, files and systems used by its Australian operations.
The business did not want corporate data routinely downloaded or stored on individual computers outside Australia. At the same time, offshore employees needed a practical working environment that performed like a normal desktop and gave them access to the applications and information required to do their jobs.
What Bang IT did
Bang IT implemented an Australian-hosted remote working environment using Parallels Remote Application Server. Rather than working directly with company data on their local devices, offshore employees connect to a desktop environment hosted in Australia.
Their applications, files and business systems are accessed within that controlled environment. The architecture allows the company to centralise access to its Australian systems while applying authentication, access controls and security policies around the hosted workspace.
The outcome
The offshore team can work effectively from overseas while the company’s primary business data and application environment remain hosted in Australia.
The solution provides a controlled Australian-hosted desktop environment, centralised application and file access, reduced need for business data to reside on offshore endpoints, consistent security controls and easier management of user access. This supports the client’s data-residency, security and governance requirements.
