Internet access is a basic yet critical requirement for modern workplaces. Employees need reliable and secure internet access to collaborate, communicate, research, and complete daily tasks efficiently. However, when organizations manage internet access requests through emails, verbal approvals, or scattered spreadsheets, visibility and control quickly disappear.
