Remote Productivity Solutions
The Remote Productivity Solutions business is focused on
helping remote professionals remain productive—anytime,
anywhere. This business unit focuses on customer needs to
access information, applications and data from any location.
ACT! is an easy-to-use contact database with a graphical
activity schedule, a full-featured word processor that links
Microsoft Word and Wordperfect and a report generator.
ACT! manages and integrates a user’s contacts, calendar
and communication through the use of integrated e-mail
messaging. In addition, it has a drag-and-drop to link any file
to any contact. ACT! runs on the Windows, Windows 95,
Windows NT, MS-DOS, Macintosh, Newton, Psion, Lotus
Notes and palmtop operating systems.
Internet FastFind allows the user to use all of the top search
engines at once as well as locate specific files on the Internet.
Other features include “Notify” which automatically tracks
and alerts when changes occur to favorite folders, FTP and
Web sites and “PatchConnect” which identifies your system’s
hardware and software and automatically connects you to the
appropriate Internet sites. Internet FastFind also uses
Symantec’s LiveUpdate to download and install the latest free
updates. Internet FastFind runs on the Windows 95 and
Windows NT operating systems.
WinFax PRO allows users to send, receive and manage faxes.
WinFax PRO provides background faxing, which allows users
to continue working on other applications while sending a
fax via the Internet or any fax machine in the world. WinFax
PRO also provides enhanced file compression, which increases
the speed at which faxes are transmitted. Other features
include “Delrina Pager,” which allows a computer to page a
user to alert him or her of incoming voice and fax messages
and “call identify,” which allows a user to view the incoming
fax or phone number on the user’s computer screen before
answering the phone. In addition, WinFax PRO for Networks
offers comprehensive support for the most common e-mail
packages, enabling users to receive faxes directly to their
e-mail address. It also uses Symantec’s LiveUpdate to down-
load and install the latest free updates. WinFax PRO runs on the
Windows, Windows 95 and Windows NT operating systems.
pcANYWHERE offers reliable, fast and flexible PC-to-PC
remote computing via serial or modem connection.
pcANYWHERE lets the user remotely control one PC from
the keyboard of another PC. The offsite remote PC, laptop or
PC terminal controls the operation of the distant host PC.
The software allows the user to run any MS-DOS, Windows,
Windows 95, Windows NT or Windows CE application
remotely, transfer files and perform other data operations. In
addition to allowing a remote user to run a distant PC,
pcANYWHERE optionally allows users at the host (distant)
machine to view the operations being conducted from the
remote site. This makes pcANYWHERE ideal for support of
users as a remote helpdesk function for both problem solving
and application training.
Security and Assistance
The Security and Assistance business is dedicated to being
indispensable to customers’ daily use of computers by increasing
productivity and keeping computers safe and reliable.
