Overview
Businesses today are looking ways to streamline their businesses as they go through globalization. It is not common that most businesses which exist today are found in every part of the country across the globe. As businesses go through
intense expansion, starting from a single unit they are constantly expanding from one country to another, somehow the management realized the complexity of the command chain. Budget allocated to every business unit for expansion and operation silently go wasted
without seeing productivity from the unit. Budgets are spent on failing projects due to poor management and for this most giant corporate will go through restructuring in order to streamline their businesses again. Businesses constantly restructure their corporate
structure to shave off unnecessary cost and burden knowing that restructuring will too incur cost for employee compensation.
With the advancement of Information Technology, businesses realized that with IT, they are able to manage their offshore business unit via Internet. Unfortunately, this create more complexity as the technology is not able to cope with the constantly growing
business. Hence, most of the IT projects fail to deliver the business needs.
Precise communication between business organization is vital, however it is extremely difficult to interconnect the network of these organization when they are located across the globe. Businesses then turned to the use of Virtual Private Network (VPN) to interconnect
networks via Internet. This solution is easy to implement for small businesses, however things gets more complicated for business which exists almost in all the countries in the world. Business allocate huge amount of budget in order to maintain these network
which most of time, the network transfer is slow and not reliable. Virtual Private Networks employs tight security which encrypts the packets sent out to the Internet hence slowing down the network.
