GLOCO Operations Current External web portal debuted in 1994 Gave remote employees access to news and literature. Remote email available in 2001, more apps added in 2004 All Applications require their own separate authentication schemes. Cisco VPN 3000 Series Concentrator currently in use to provide remote users with full internal network access. Proposed A single web portal for GLOCO’s customers, partners and employees. All user authentication will pass through a single device.

Business Benefits Decrease costs Reducing hardware infrastructure Concentrating/reducing labor efforts Improved user satisfaction Users need only remember one login for all of GLOCO’s services. Allow for future services to be easily integrated Increase security Reducing exposure on public Internet Ensure GLOCO remote workstations comply with security policies Role based access, granular security permissions Easier logging of users’ activities

Measuring Success Using multiple streams of data, 4GC will work with GLOCO to determine the effectiveness of the system. Primary Goals Project completion in 17 weeks 85% user adoption rate of new portal within 6 months Retirement of legacy systems after a 6 month period Increased user satisfaction (via surveys)
