Hello Jaime,

If I understand your question then yes, the vendor will still need some
type of connection to the system if they are a remote site. There are
many apps that can do that from within the core network or VPN. I had to
evaluate a product for one of our LOBs. We are now looking at it for a
much wider implementation as it removes the need for PCAnywhere.

Go to www.webex.com. You can do a live demo. All data is encoded then
encrypted (128). No data touches the drive and not data is cached.
Control of what happens rests entirely within the host (your) control.
No additional configuration is needed on the perimeter of your network
either. 

If anybody else has heard of this or has a dissenting option on its
security features please speak up.

Best regards,

Subject: Vendor Remote Access


Our organization works with many third party vendors.

If a deparment buys a new application from a vendor, it usually comes
with
support. This
means they should be able to access the server remotely. 

Some require PCAnywhere to be installed on the server and can be
accessed
via dial-up systems(modem banks). 

We have plans to install VPN in the future. If we do get a VPN system.
Don't
the vendor
still require some kind of remote control software to administer their
application ? 

We just want them to administer their application and NOT operating
system.

Please let me know what you think ?

Thanks,
Jaime
