When an enterprise acquires another company or wants to connect with a business partner, network teams are responsible for integrating the networks and controlling access simultaneously within a concise timeframe. Typically, such projects take a significant amount of time to implement due to multiple complexities such as managing overlapping IP addresses. Alkira solves this problem by providing secure and segmented access to only the parts of the network users need.
Business Partner Connectivity
For various reasons, most enterprises need to connect to their business partners. Historically, this has taken a lot of time and effort and, in many cases, even required procuring new HW and circuits. With Alkira’s Business Partner Connectivity solution, enterprises can point and click to quickly build connectivity with business partners and allow access to only the applications that need to be exposed, all while inspecting traffic and getting complete visibility.

Use Cases
Vendor Onboarding
Your corporation needs to share data and applications with a 3rd-party business partner in a safe, secure manner. This used to require getting hardware connected at both ends and coordinating firewall policies. It’s an administrative nightmare and takes way too long to get established. Alkira customers are able to add a new partner to their network in 91% less time than traditional networking. Support for segmentation and micro-segmentation gives you confidence that users from each company are only able to access the data they have permission to access.
Mergers and Acquisitions / Divestitures
The global economy does not slow down for anyone. When considering a merger or acquisition and even a divestiture, speed and timing is crucial to be successful. Establishing a network so all parties involved can share information in a safe, secure manner is paramount. But traditional networking practices take time, money, and equipment. Alkira simplifies this process with an intuitive draw-and-click interface, giving you the flexibility and agility needed to conduct business quickly.
