Status Quo and requirements
With the rapid development of enterprise business, the number of branches, chain stores, franchise stores, and other remote branches in different regions has also increased, and information exchange has become increasingly frequent. With the implementation of enterprise business (POS) systems, important business data, financial and related data are also transmitted over the network, and security requirements are becoming increasingly important, currently, the network modes that rely solely on modem dialing, ADSL, and leased lines are increasingly unable to meet the company's requirements for information transmission platforms. There are more and more enterprises in the chain business model. Most businesses of such enterprises provide services directly to customers. Whether the services are in place, fast, and accurate will become an important competitiveness of enterprises. Many enterprises use information technology to build various information platforms (such as distribution systems) within the enterprise to improve their service capabilities, but logistics (Chain Stores) the operating mode determines the existence of a large number of branches. These branches urgently need to connect to the Headquarters LAN for Data Synchronization transmission. If ddnleased lines is used, the cost is too high. In the face of fierce market competition, the logistics (chain stores) Industry in the meager profit period is unacceptable. However, the cost of modem dialing is also not low, in addition, the security, transmission speed and other performance cannot meet the requirements.

With the development of the market economy in China, the chain industry has also achieved large-scale development and promotion in China. Chain stores, supermarkets, brand stores, convenience stores (sidodian), bookstores, and drug stores have also developed rapidly. With the improvement of the operation capability of chain organizations, the convenience of chain networks, and the price advantage of centralized operation, chain organizations are more competitive and influential than traditional institutions, and their position in various regions has also improved significantly, it also attracted more and more businesses to enter this industry. At present, many chain stores have implemented the informatization of systems between different headquarters and remote chain stores. They can make detailed statistics on the specific business data of each chain store through the information system. However, most of the data exchange between stores and the headquarters is still using dial-up connections. Data is regularly transmitted every day, and the Headquarters cannot obtain the data of each chain store in real time. As more and more merchants join the industry, the industry is becoming more and more competitive. To take a leading position in the fierce competition, managers need to be able to obtain the required data in a timely and accurate manner anytime, anywhere, this allows you to adjust policies in a timely manner. This requires the chain stores to share and transmit commercial (business) data with their headquarters in real time.
