THE CHALLENGES

Disruptions to modernization

Complex, outdated infrastructure and networks drag out SAP and cloud migration timelines, increasing costs and making user access to essential apps more difficult.

Frustrating user experiences

Frequent downtime and slow app connections hurt productivity, and poor visibility into access and controls makes user experience issues tough to resolve.

Increased app attack surface

Connecting users and third-party vendors to SAP S/4HANA through a VPN leaves the network exposed and broadens your attack surface, adding significant business risk.
