IT Challenge
IT Challenge Since Nuventra works with pharmaceutical firms, the company’s information and IT must be up
and running 24/7, since all of their work goes through computers and their servers. One issue came up with their Virtual Private Network (VPN) that inhibited traffic. “They worked it out, fixed it, and we were up and running in a day.” Now, Nuventra is able to have all employees work remotely through a CISCO VPN that gives them access to their data center. Nuventra also uses Microsoft Teams and encourages all staff to work from home at least one day per week. With regards to the security of the systems, Nuventra’s clients require a high level of security in order to do business with them. Logically has been instrumental in meeting these high-level requirements.
