State University Picks Serotek's RIM and RAM Software
MINNEAPOLIS
– June 18, 2008 – Serotek Corporation, the leading provider of
Internet and digital information accessibility software and services,
is pleased to announce that Ohio State University has chosen to
implement Serotek's Remote Incident Management (RIM) and Remote
Access Management ( RAM ) software to provide technical support
to its user community. The only accessible solution of its kind,
Serotek's software will enhance the ability of OSU's blind and
sighted technical support staff to provide remote assistance without
the installation of any adaptive technology.
RIM
allows field technicians to take complete control of potentially
distant end-user computers over an organization's network or the
Internet. Once connected, the technician and the user share the
same workspace on the end-user's computer, so they can work with
the same applications and documents or exchange text and files.
While connected, the technician can also watch the end-user and
demonstrate how to perform required tasks or avoid common problems.
RAM
enables remote control of computers on an enterprise network through
a secure server. For performing operations such as remote server
administration, remote troubleshooting and repair, remote desktop
access and operation, and remote training, RAM allows personnel,
both sighted and visually impaired, to work from any authorized
location.
“RIM
makes location irrelevant so there are no trip charges or multi-location
staffing requirements,” said Mike Calvo, CEO , Serotek Corporation,
“And RAM extends career paths by removing the barriers that make
it difficult for visually impaired people to provide technical,
administrative, and training services over private or public computer
networks.”
“OSU
is committed to an equal access work environment,” said L. Scott
Lissner, ADA Coordinator for Ohio State University, “We appreciate
the fact that there are no per-seat licensing fees so we can proactively
deploy RIM and RAM to thousands of end-users, without any special
installations.” Nolan Crabb, Director of Assistive Technology
added, “This allows our users immediate assistance with a single
click or keystroke should an issue arise, all at a cost comparable
with installing firewall or anti-virus software.”
Since
its inception, Serotek Corporation has been developing technology
solutions that allow anyone, regardless of physical limitations,
disabilities, lack of Internet savvy or computer ownership, the
ability to access and command all of the resources of the Internet
and an accessible digital lifestyle. For more information about
