Diamond Exploration Company Seeks Security and Productivity Benefits for Remote Teams

Overview

De Beers India conducts active diamond exploration in seven Indian states with field-based teams of geophysicists, geologists, security specialists, and others. To protect highly proprietary information on potential mining sites, and to make the most of the challenging work to find and explore such sites, De Beers India must provide its mobile employees with the most advanced security and productivity tools available. Above all, these tools need to address the protection of data that must be communicated over Internet satellite links. To this end, De Beers India has piloted a deployment of the Windows Vista operating system to a small group of IT professionals and laid plans for a production deployment to some 100 mobile employees.
