The Salvation Army UK & Republic of Ireland Uses Network Sentry’s Unique Multiple Portal Feature to Unify Guest Experience.
Salvation Army UK & Republic of Ireland, part of the Salvation Army international charitable organization, has 50,000 members, 4,000 employees and 1,500 Salvation Army officers spread over hundreds of locations. The organization found that it was spending too much time manually creating and assigning individual guest access for more than 100 of these locations.
With all of these locations being provisioned on multiple LANS, the time IT required to manage guest and BYOD access, as well as keep the network secure was overwhelming. “One of our biggest concerns was the multiple wireless SSIDs. Anytime we wanted a new LAN or additional guest access to be provisioned, we had to manually configure access on multiple wireless networks,” explained Christian Cundall, head of messaging services for the Salvation Army UK & Republic of Ireland. “In addition, with employees, guests and contractors traveling between the different locations, the organization also wanted to maintain a unified guest experience.” The Salvation Army UK & Republic of Ireland needed to automate mobile access management, simplify guest access and increase endpoint security.
