SmartWorX Intelligent Access Client
enables you to secure and manage your users' PCs, while at the same time making it easier for them to connect to the network. This state-of-the-art client is built as an XML web service using the Microsoft.NET framework (C++ version also available for older Operating Systems), so it's easy to install, continually updated (incrementally as necessary; transparent to the user), highly functional yet incredibly flexible and robust. Distribution is easy too, with our automated email provisioning systems or CD-ROM delivery and Netifice-assisted installation. And, since it's a hosted solution, you don't have to waste your time and money buying, supporting and proving power, space and bandwidth for the back-en management servers - we take care of everything.
The SmartWorX Client is designed to "wrap around" all other connection and security components (current and future), including Netifice's Personal Firewall and Digital Certificates, so your users only have to become familiar with a single, easy-to-use interface for everything they do. It's access agnostic, so your users can use it over any Internet connection (broadband, WiFi, dial-up, etc.). It can even be branded to your company's look-and-feel or to match a previous client, so as to facilitate upgrading users to this new technology. The client auto-senses and selects the 'best' access technology available, based on your pre-defined hierarchy, for one-touch connectivity. The phonebook is automatically updated (transparent to the user) and the dialer features 'most recent' and 'favorite' numbers, or allows user to search for a local number by country, city, region, or area code and prefix. It also allows the user to select and automatically launch certain applications of your choosing upon connecting to the network - all to make the user experience simple and hassle-free
In addition, the SmartWorX Client provides a series of Asset Tracking and PC Health reports detailing the types of hardware and software your users have, and the operational status of their PCs. These reports let you see what's happening on your users' systems so you can quickly diagnose and resolve PC or application related issues when they call your help desk. Here are just a few of the ways you can use these reports to proactively manage your users' PCs:
- Scan PC hardware devices to track what equipment you have in the field
- Scan OS and software to ensure no rogue applications have been installed
- Check PC configuration to ensure it conforms with company standards
- Log 'Running Processes' mode/peak time and size stats to catch any anomalies
- Log 'Start-up Commands' description, username and location for added security
- Post SmartWorX Client log data to your SQL database
Clearly, in the world of remote access clients, the SmartWorX Client is in a league of its own. No other client in the market offers the simplicity, security and manageability that you need to ensure the security of your network, while empowering your remote users to maximize their productivity.
