Fiberlink Professional Services Offers Best Practices and Technology Tools for Increasingly Mobile Enterprises

August 23, 2007

BLUE BELL, Pa., August 23, 2007 – Fiberlink Communications Corporation, the trusted expert for simple, secure mobility, marks the first anniversary of its Fiberlink Professional Services offering, launched August 2006.  The company offers tools and best business practices for deploying complex enterprise mobility software to its mobile workforce. Fiberlink Professional Services supports enterprises in the design, deploy and integrate security solutions and network access control for their mobile workforce. Organizations seek out Fiberlink’s expertise to help them navigate the sometimes competing interests of mobility and security, and a growing set of compliance requirements. Fiberlink consultants work closely with customers on initial planning, policy and baseline setting, vulnerability assessments and implementation.  They also offer training and ongoing education and support.

"Like many fast growth companies, we had our challenges implementing new software for connecting and protecting critical corporate information. We needed a mobile security solution that offered the option to expand as we grew, didn’t burden IT resources and provided technical support services.  We chose to work with Fiberlink, because they offer an integrated, policy-based mobile data security solution with customized services to help roll-out mobile security software," said Jim Burris, network security for Kenco Group, Inc. “We have an experienced IT team here at Kenco but it's always valuable to speak to specialists when working with sensitive network security solutions. The Fiberlink Professional Services team has many years of expertise in security and access, and they were able to help us avoid pitfalls from the beginning, ensuring a smooth rollout.  Also, Fiberlink customized its offering to meet Kenco’s unique needs which helped us establish IT policies that protect sensitive information, like salary data, and restrict the use of USB keys.”

“Companies benefit from bringing in outside experts, such as Fiberlink, to examine the current security posture of the company’s network. The majority of enterprises do not have the expertise, funds or rapid response capabilities necessary to deal effectively with these problems,” said Kitty Weldon, principal analyst for market research firm Current Analysis. “When companies turn to security professionals to deploy and manage their security solutions, they are better able to focus on their core business, which saves the company money and better protects corporate information.”

Despite careful IT planning and coordination across large, well-run organizations, IT departments have challenges deploying global solutions for their mobile workforces, who often travel abroad. Not only are they using a myriad of carriers for different access options in the U.S., Europe and Asia, most IT departments are managing a variety of different security solutions in-house. Necessary reporting is difficult and time consuming because the connectivity and security solutions are often separate. Fiberlink offers customers a holistic view of these solutions and how they work together.

Fiberlink Professional Services evolved from the company’s deep heritage and expertise as a leading mobility solutions provider, which it has amassed over the past 12 years working with hundreds of Fortune 2000 companies around the world.
