Issues before implementation
- We promoted remote work and web conferencing in response to the coronavirus pandemic, but problems frequently occurred due to line congestion.
- Even if the lines were strengthened, the connection with the DC became a bottleneck, and no fundamental solution was reached.
- When expanding bases, it takes a considerable amount of time to open lines, making it difficult to respond quickly.

Cato SASE Cloud solution
- By consolidating the network into Cato, integration of network and security is realized.
- Improved speed and allows direct access to internal network from mobile line
- Enables real-time status confirmation and quick response in case of trouble.
Cato SASE Cloud Implementation Effects
- Smooth transition and business integration
- We successfully completed the switchover of all nine locations and stores without any problems, while running the new network in parallel with the existing network. Order processing and other operations, including those using iPads, were integrated securely and optimally, regardless of the environment at each store location.
- Improving communication speed and web conferencing quality
- The removal of bandwidth limitations has been well-received by site users, who have commented that the service is "faster." In particular, the quality of Teams calls and the smooth sharing of large files on SharePoint have improved.
- Improving the convenience of mobile and overseas use
- Direct access to SaaS without going through the company network has been enabled, improving speed in remote environments. Even when traveling abroad, employees can automatically connect to the company network, allowing for smooth approval and authorization processes.
- Operational visibility and rapid troubleshooting
- Usage can now be monitored in real time. Even in the event of communication failures, it's easier to identify the timing and cause, eliminating the need for the previous "trial-and-error" approach, resulting in significant time and effort savings.
- Reduced management costs and workload
- The terminal setup (kitting) process has been simplified. This has reduced the burden during periods of frequent personnel changes, and the consolidation of the managed items has made operational management easier.
