Real Estate Leader Achieves Rapid Security and Operational Gains with SWG in 30 Days

A leading real estate enterprise with 7,500 users and production servers successfully transitioned to a next-generation Secure Web Gateway (SWG) within a tight implementation window. Intertec Systems partnered closely with the client, delivering a seamless migration by prioritizing user onboarding, application continuity, and transparent communication. Through collaborative planning and execution, the project was completed on schedule, significantly improving the organization’s security posture while maintaining uninterrupted business operations.

Business Problem

The company’s existing SWG solution was no longer sufficient to meet evolving cybersecurity needs. With license expirations looming—posing additional cost and operational risk—the organization required a robust, scalable solution that could be rapidly deployed without disrupting daily operations across a large and distributed user base. Achieving this transition demanded precision coordination, technical expertise, and high levels of user engagement.

How Intertec Helped

Intertec played a pivotal role in executing the SWG rollout through a structured, phased approach:

  • Strategic Deployment: Leveraging tools like SCCM, Intertec enabled smooth deployment of Netskope clients across all user endpoints.
  • Preemptive Configuration: GPO policies and security settings were updated in advance to ensure readiness and minimize friction at go-live.
  • Close Coordination: Intertec worked hand-in-hand with application teams to validate business-critical server access, ensuring zero disruption.
  • Stakeholder Alignment: Proactive communication channels were established, providing regular updates, rapid issue resolution, and alignment on key milestones.
  • Customer-Centric Focus: Every step was executed with user experience in mind—resulting in high adoption rates and minimal support tickets post-deployment.

Crucially, Intertec’s collaborative approach with the client’s internal teams helped navigate tight timelines and complex technical environments, ensuring that all stakeholders were aligned throughout the process.
