Scalability
The cost to an organization of traditional leased lines
may be reasonable at first but can increase
exponentially as the organization grows. A company with
two branch offices, for example, can deploy just one
dedicated line to connect the two locations. If a third
branch office needs to come online, just two additional
lines will be required to directly connect that
location to the other two.
However, as an organization grows and more companies
must be added to the network, the number of leased
lines required increases dramatically. Four branch
offices require six lines for full connectivity; five
offices require ten lines, and so on. Mathematicians
call this phenomenon a "combinatorial explosion," and
in a traditional WAN this explosion limits the
flexibility for growth.
Private
Networking systems that utilize the Internet avoid this
problem by simply tapping into the
geographically-distributed access already available.
Compared to leased lines, Internet-based VPNs offer
greater global reach, given that Internet access points
are accessible in many places where dedicated lines are
not available. Click here to

Corporate Security
Email is well-established as a prime means of
communication for business purposes that is quicker and
cheaper than more traditional methods. Yet it brings
with it the necessity to make one's corporate messaging
system as secure as possible. A variety of different
elements weaken your corporate email system and while
some are widely known - such as email viruses - others
tend to be ignored. Emails carrying offensive messages
or confidential corporate information can create
immense inconvenience and expense for a company that
has not equipped its mail server with the appropriate
tools.
Some companies lull themselves into a false sense of
security upon installing a firewall. This is a wise
step to protect their intranet, but it is not enough.
ASN Secure
provides a comprehensive solution to ensure a secure
messaging infrastructure. Our proprietary technology
reduces the risk posed by security threats and spam,
and help satisfy email policies and regulatory
compliance needs.
Remote
Access
ASN Secure allows insurance agents to access
their messages, files and important documents from any
computer, laptop, or PDA with an internet connection.
Our system
can support the same intranet/extranet services as a
traditional WAN, and has grown in popularity because of
our ability to support remote access service.
In recent
years, many organizations have increased the mobility
of their workers by allowing more employees to
telecommute. Employees also continue to travel and face
an increasing need to stay "plugged in" to the company
network.
Leased lines don't support mobile workers well because
the lines fail to extend to people's homes or their
travel destinations. Companies that don't use a secure
private networking system must resort to implementing
specialized "secure dial-up" services in this case.
To log in to
a dial-up intranet, a remote worker must call into a
company's remote access server using either a 1-800
number or a local number. The overhead of maintaining
such a system internally, coupled with the possibility
of high long distance charges incurred by travelers,
makes our secure private networking system a necessity.

Asset
Management
A typical company will copy, fax and print
approximately 15 pages per year, costing about $1
million. More than 82,000 man-hours are spent just
moving those pages from desks to imaging devices which
contributes another $2 million a year to the total
labor cost for producing these images.
Simply stated, most companies have too many printers,
copiers and fax machines, in too many places, with too
much duplication of effort and too much cost in a large
enterprise.
ASN Secure reduce the number of print locations while
reducing the time it takes for people to get their
copies, faxes and printouts. The key is to optimize the
number, location and business rules for usage of all
equipment - so you not only lower costs, you also get
distribution closer to the end user.
Of course, while doing all this, it's important to be
sensitive to the change management issues within your
organization. This is where our extensive onsite
experience with all kinds of company cultures can make
sure this change is a change for the better.

numbers, usernames, passwords and instant-messaging
chat sessions.
ASN Secure
gives you the ability to keep important information,
passwords, account numbers, credit card information and
health records safe with the development of our newest
security utility, the
