Digital Challenges & Pain Points of TPS Surabaya
While PT Terminal Petikemas Surabaya flourished in its core logistical domain, the digital landscape presented a series of challenges.
The existing proxy used by TPS Surabaya was the virtual Microsoft ISA platform, but it lacked bandwidth management capabilities. This meant that it had no control over the amount of bandwidth being used. During C-level meetings, there were issues with lag when using the Zoom application. This affected the smooth communication and made it difficult for participants to have seamless discussions.
Furthermore, the existing proxy was unable to block VPN connections, which allowed users to bypass the access controls put in place. This posed a risk of unauthorized access to sensitive information. In addition to these limitations, the existing proxy was also unable to achieve full access control. It was limited to internal applications and couldn’t provide comprehensive control over external access.
Moreover, the existing proxy lacked the capability to generate reports or perform auditing of the bandwidth usage and users’ internet access. This made it challenging for TPS to monitor and analyze the usage patterns and activities of its users.
