Skyward offers VPN competence to SMS carriers

Managed Services
After many years of close cooperation with SMS providers, Skyward has acquired a deep understanding of their challenges, goals and needs. The task of ensuring user data security turns out to be just as important as reliable SMS message delivery. A popular solution to data protection and privacy issues is a VPN connection that, due to its technical complexity, requires deep expertise to be set up.

For many carriers, a secure connection is a mandatory requirement that helps to prevent confidential data from falling into the wrong hands. Even though a VPN technology is nowadays widely used in everyday life, it is still a complex process that is hard to master without expert knowledge.

Judging from my experience, most of our partners do not possess the relevant experience to set up a VPN connection, which could sometimes turn out to be a real headache. On many occasions, in order to solve VPN problems, one needs to bury oneself into documentation or dig for information on long-abandoned IT forums. This is where our competence makes the difference: with our help, even sophisticated VPN configuration may be performed in a relatively short amount of time.

In just four months since the beginning of the year, Skyward engineers have implemented around 50 VPN connections in the majority of their clients’ networks. To ensure such productivity, Skyward’s VPN specialist follows a set of instructions that allow to foresee potential difficulties and avoid delays. Due to this specific technical process designed by Skyward, configuring VPN usually takes no longer than several hours.

VPN configuration service is offered to Skyward clients as part of the NOC service package. In individual cases, VPN competence may be provided separately on an hourly basis. Drop us a line at info@skyward.cc to learn the details.
