Compose Remote Emails

Web Worker Daily just posted an article written by Meryl Evans about I’m InTouch 7.1 remote access.   Meryl wrote in the article that “I’m InTouch offers an easy-to-use solution that allows you to connect with your own desktop machine through another computer, notebook or mobile device.”  Read the entire article here.

One of the points brought up in the article is about I’m InTouch’s extensive support for wireless devices.  For Windows Mobile device users, you can control your Remote Desktop to run any program on your distant computer.  It’s no different from remotely controlling your PC from another computer.

For users of other wireless devices, you can access your Remote Email in Outlook, receive wireless notifitications of new emails, access your files, and view your webcam.

I’m InTouch is a remote access software solution that utilizes state-of-the-art technology to provide users with remote wired and wireless access to their own desktop PC. Using the private portal technology protected by US Patents #6928479 and #6938076, I’m InTouch provides users with a “Personal Data Gateway” to access their personal information remotely at anytime, from anywhere in the world. Users can remotely control their desktop PC using a desktop, laptop, or pocket pc browser to execute and run any application on it. Users with a low-bandwidth connection can also access their Outlook, Outlook Express, and Windows Mail e-mails, contacts, and calendar without starting up a screen-sharing remote control session. This unique combination translates to improved productivity and customer service while away from the office.

For the end-user, I’m InTouch extends their desktop PC to anywhere they go. For 01’s business partners, I’m InTouch represents a value-added service for their customers, providing a new monthly revenue stream, innovative branding opportunities, and a reduction in customer turnover.

I’m InTouch-SE (Server Edition) is a remote access software solution that allows IT managers to easily deploy a highly secure remote access solution for employees. Unlike a regular IPSec VPN that operates on the network layer of the OSI model, I’m InTouch-SE has a private portal architecture (US Patent #6,928,479) that operates on the Application layer. Therefore it does not open the whole network to the remote user. Instead it inherits the same accessibility or portions of it he/she has been granted by the IT manager at the workstation.

It is also different from a standard SSL-VPN that needs to configure for each application. SSL-VPN also requires the remote client (the PC where you are remotely accessing from) to have the application installed and therefore it does not support most wireless thin clients. I’m InTouch on the other hand, does not require configuration for each application. It does not even require the remote client to have the application installed. As a result, the remote client can be a very rudimentary PC or wireless thin client only loaded with an Internet browser. This makes installation and setting up easy.

To be more precise, I’m InTouch users inherit the same access privileges his/her workstation has as their maximum allowed access right. IT managers can further restrict this if necessary by using the Administration Tools. For example, the IT manager could grant only access to Outlook but not remote control for an off-site sales person.

No changes required on the firewall
I’m InTouch’s private portal architecture (US Patent #6,928,479) ensures no ports are being opened on the firewall when using any of our Remote Access features. In other words, there is no need to bypass or compromise the existing IT security established by the company resulting in an extremely secure connection.

Remote Wake-up architecture (patent-pending)
With our patent-pending remote wake-up feature users have the ability to remotely power-up their PCs or they can choose to “Shut Down” their PCs when leaving the office to conform to corporate security or environmental policy.

Computer Name, Login Name and Password are the first Layers of Security
Users at a remote location launch a browser and connect to the Location server at http://locator.01com.com. The user enters the Computer Name (set during registration) and secures the connection with SSL. A unique Computer Name is necessary to allow the Location server to establish a remote connection to the I’m InTouch “host” computer. One must then correctly input a further sequence of security - Login name and Password. The password can be
changed as often as the user wishes.

Login Name / Password are on the user’s PC, not on the Central Server:
Integrity of our users’ information is critical and we continually work to maintain
the highest degree of security possible for our customers. Both the Login name and Password are stored on the user’s computer and never passed on to any other server, thus protecting against un-authorized access.

Session is 100% secured by SSL encryption:
I’m InTouch supports Secure Socket Layer (SSL) 128 bit encryption for users. This ensures that the information being communicated over the Internet from the I’m InTouch PC to the Local computer is not visible to anyone except the authorized user.

Secure connection from the browser to the user’s PC
I’m InTouch operates through firewalls to allow secure remote access for users. It uses a unique “hybrid” architecture to achieve a secure connection. Users can freely choose between two secure methods at any time (with a single mouse click) to best fit their technical and work requirements:
1. Indirect communication session (through a central server)
2. Direct communication session (directly from the remote browser to the user’s PC)
