MWEB Business launches new VPN solution for SMEs

MWEB Business, the division of MWEB that focuses on the specialised needs of small to medium businesses, has today announced the launch of the first in a series of virtual private network (VPN) offerings designed for SME customers. The managed VPN offering, which utilises ADSL technology, enables SME businesses to share information and access centralised services in a quick, secure and cost-effective manner.

As small companies grow and expand geographically, they are faced with increasingly larger Internet and hardware bills in order to maintain contact between branches. No matter the type of company, the need to maintain fast, secure and reliable communication among remote employees and different locations remains a critical factor.

As part of an ongoing pursuit to understand the unique needs facing businesses in the SME space, MWEB Business is continuously developing solutions that will improve efficiencies for its SME customer base. MWEB Business` VPN ADSL offering enables small business owners that have between one and five branches, the opportunity to take advantage of this technology that allows for secure and fast access to information and improved communication between branches.

"The provision of this managed VPN offering will enable our customers to reduce their monthly capital outlay, reduce their business operational costs, negate the need for multiple software packages and enable them to host centralised applications and documents that are available securely to all branches. The development of this product further demonstrates MWEB Business` commitment to the SME market and improving business efficiency for our SME customers," says Gary Hart, manager: marketing and products, MWEB Business.

"We are also pleased to announce that this cost-effective and highly efficient VPN solution offering is just one of many VPN offerings that will soon be available from MWEB Business," continues Hart.
