WebToGo has provided a customized version of its OneClick Internet Connection Manager to SNAM. The solution addresses the connectivity needs of SNAM’s mobile workforce in compliance with the strict corporate security standards.

WebToGo has provided a customised corporate connection manager to SNAM, Europe’s leading operator in the construction and management of gas infrastructures.

The goal was to provide a unique solution, addressing the Company’s pervasive mobile connectivity needs in full compliance with the Company’s strict security regulations at all times, albeit offering ease-of-use to its mobile workforce.

WebToGo’s OneClick Internet Connection Manager has been customised to meet SNAM’s requirements and tested jointly by the two Companies before being officially deployed by SNAM in August.

The solution connects to multiple mobile networks, using SNAMs dedicated APN without the need for any manual configuration. Static and dynamic authentication protocols are supported and according to these the client establishes either a RAS or an NDIS connection. OneClick Internet is fully compatible with SNAM’s VPN client, which can be triggered whenever required.

SNAM’s connection manager includes an Admin-mode which allows easily configuring the client and prevents non-Admin users from modifying the configuration. The solution has been tested on the fleet of MBB embedded laptops in use.

With OneClick Internet SNAM has eliminated the inefficiencies of using multiple generic connection managers and deployed a unified and secure, fully customised solution.
