Cost-effective, secure networking without capital
outlays or software installations

Getting everybody on board
A Massachusetts-based manufacturer implemented an enterprise resource planning application to share information company-wide. To fulfill ERP's promise, however, the company needed to get all of its departments, even those in Europe, access to the application-without paying the high costs of large domestic and international data circuits.

Connecting through Virtual Office Solutions
RTM Communications, Inc., recommends a virtual office solution providing secure remote access to your network using a common Web browser, without the need for remote software or, even better, support.

Unlike dial-in services or common Web access to e-mail, virtual office solutions access all applications and solutions using 128-bit encryption, the same security used for online stock and credit card transactions.

Goodbye to software conflicts
Virtual office gives small and mid-size enterprises an alternative to the capital and maintenance costs of virtual private networks. Among the many expenses it avoids are those of frame relay links, network management, and software installations on remote computers.

Faster than WAN
Applications run faster over virtual office solutions than they do on a normal wide area network because applications run on the local server, not on remote computers or networks. Remote sites merely display "screen pops," or images.

Compared to speeds on the WAN, "I would say our virtual office apps run as much as 40% faster," says the Massachusetts manufacturer's IT manager.

Because apps run on the server, remote users require the simplest of technology: simple modem connections and computers capable of operating 2-year-old Web browsers. A complete location can run on a much smaller WAN link, reducing expensive recurring costs while enhancing performance.

Now, whatever the company's applications or platforms-Windows, Unix or Linux-its software runs on its complete network as if users were actually there in the office.

"The major benefits I see are ease of administration and the absence of a client installation package." - vice president of information technology using virtual office to connect manufacturing departments and locations

Shared network, shared costs. Resulting efficiencies saved the manufacturer nearly $100,000 in the first year of operations. more..
