Remote access services

58 per cent of European companies currently offer remote access services (RAS) to home workers, while over half provide this functionality to their sales force and traveling executives. The relatively high penetration of these services indicates that European enterprises are increasingly allowing employees to access central networks via remote access. However, the low penetration of services to partners and suppliers suggests that companies are not quite as willing to allow third party access to their network assets.

Managing and securing the network

The majority of companies expect to improve IT security in the near future

Overall, 74% of European enterprises expect to invest further in their eSecurity systems in the near future, suggesting that this is still an area that companies are closely examining. French companies are least likely to invest further in their eSecurity systems in the short term, with only half of respondents stating that they expected further expenditure in this area over the next few months.
