Bata India, a shoe company operating since 1931 is India’s largest retailer and leading manufacturer of footwear in India with a network of over 1,200 stores. The company also operates a large non retail distribution network through its urban wholesale division and caters to millions of customers through over 30,000 dealers.
CNN Money says that Bata has engaged Florida-based Thinspace’s SkyGate to provide secure access to its ERP servers from remote locations and help control user access from specific machines/locations. Its developers and contractors could be restricted to work from specific machines to ensure that specific devices have access over the internet to production servers.
Chris Bautista, Chief Executive Officer of Thinspace, commented, “Bata wanted a simple yet secure remote access solution and after comparing several products, found skyGate to have the right mix of features to suit their needs. skyGate can provide always-on seamless access to power users, while at the same time deliver on-demand remote access from unmanaged machines. This is much better than IPsec or legacy based solutions, which provide only one way of running the VPN.”
