The pain of a chain is: the spread of shops, network environment, lack of skills, and the inability of the shop to go directly to each other. If this does not work, the existing list will be advertised, there will be no store logs, there will be no stores that simply close the certification, and branding experience and security compliance will become a mess.
Headquarters centralization or doorship autonomy. We have to make a deal first.
The first thing about chain control is the assignment of authority: certification strategy, brand pages, compliance requirements are sent by headquarters in a uniform fashion, and the door office is responsible for access to the Internet and security equipment. We strongly recommend leaving."Headquarters harmonization"The route, because once open shop autonomy is put in place, dozens of shops will grow up to be configured and will not be able to recover at a later stage. But it is also unrealistic to keep the door open, such as the door's own broadband account, local AP, or local administration.
A set of certified backstages covering all the stores.
The ideal architecture is that all the door office certification requests are returned to a single accreditation platform at Headquarters, with only access devices on the side of the door. The advantage is that users have certified in any one store and experience it, and headquarters can see data and compliance on the entire department's backstage. There are several technological achievements: central deployment of the authentication server at Headquarters, through dedicated lines or VPN, or unified cloud control. We usually choose by number and bandwidth costs, multiple and scattered doors, and less cloud control; there is no local requirement for data, but we go to Headquarters to focus and do the line.
Harmonize page templates but allow local customization
Brand consistency requires a different page, but there may be local events to show. The door is completely locked, the door is grieving about lack of flexibility; the brand is completely unwinded. The compromise is a headquarters-defined template framework and required elements (legal tip, brand identification, authentication entrance). The store can only put its own promotion information in the designated area. We leave one for a chain of restaurants when we do this."This is a shop announcement."The rest of the block is fully controlled by headquarters, both to match branding and not to block local operations.
The doorway equipment needs to be remotely operated.
The CULMP has to see the online status, version, alarms, and batch upgrades and bulk reconfiguration of each store's equipment. We have seen a chain brand that used to run the equipment itself at an early stage, and the same type AP runs five or six versions, and there is no uniform way to handle it in the fault room."Zero Configuration"The storekeeper just cares if the plug is loose. Remote transport capability, directly determines whether the chain size can hold up.
Compliance is visible to headquarters.
The chain is most feared when a store has been shut down. A unified control platform should make the physical opening of each shop, log retention, and storage balances visible from headquarters, and automatically alert if an anomaly (e.g. a store log stops above the threshold). We suggest that we set up a single office at Headquarters."Compliance with health points"And every shop has a point, and the red light is on below the threshold. So headquarters doesn't have to look at the red spots or the red points. Compliance with this stuff is like nothing.
New shop openings are to be standardized for rapid deployment
The chain has been opening new shops, and if each start is to re-engineer the certification program, it will be inefficient and consistent. The authentication deployment should be made into a standard package: list of equipment, network tops, configuration template, acceptance checklist, and the new store should be fully solidised. Once we make this standard package for our clients, the new shop will be compressed from arrival to certification online to within one day and its configuration is completely consistent with headquarters requirements. Standardization is a prerequisite for putting the chain size advantage into play, and it is also a precaution to avoid it."Every store is different."The fundamentals.
We're gonna have to get the clearances in order to avoid a single hit.
The regional manager is looking at the local door shop data, the owner of a single store can only see the shop's state, IT can be reconfigured but not adapted to compliance strategies. These privileges are graded. We have seen the confusion between sharing the headquarters account codes to the region and the area for retransfer to the door.
