Site teams stayed connected without logging in again.
A residential developer gave sales staff and contractors continuous access to SAP and its design application, from whichever site they happened to be standing on.
Where they started.
The customer is one of the leading residential real-estate developers in south India, working mainly in the mid-market and affordable-housing categories and expanding beyond its home cities.
Its two working applications are SAP and a computer-aided design package, and the people who need them are rarely at a desk: sales professionals move between sites all day, and contractors come and go with a project.
Every move meant another login. The company wanted connectivity that stayed up as people moved, without giving up the rule that only authorised users on authorised connections get in.
What was in the way.
- Constant re-authSales professionals and contractors moving between sites were interrupted by an authentication step every time the connection dropped.
- Authorised onlyContinuous access could not mean loose access: only authorised users on authorised connections were to reach the applications.
What was put in place.
Each control below has its own page. If a row makes a claim, the link is where you check it.
- Always-on sessionThe connection is re-established in the background as the device moves, so the user is not asked to authenticate at every hand-off.More
- One click inAuthorised applications are opened from a list, in the browser where the application allows it, rather than through a client the user configures.More
- Design app publishedThe design package stays on its licensed workstation and is reached over a governed session, instead of being installed on every laptop that needs a look at a drawing.More
What a field workforce getsfrom a session that persists
Two applications, one stack. The consequences show up in the working day rather than in the architecture diagram.
SAP behind a check
The business system is reached through an authorised session rather than a general-purpose tunnel.
Pre-authorised only
Access is limited to users who were already authorised and already authenticated, contractors included.
One stack, not two
Sales staff, site teams and contractors are governed by the same policy engine instead of separate arrangements.
“Using ZTNA Cloud Security solutions to secure enterprise applications reduced costs significantly, while provisioning increased security for SAP applications by extending access to pre-authorised users and pre-authenticated users”
