Unlike other remote access solutions, with I’m InTouch Premium’s Remote Wake-Up feature,  you CAN remotely access your PC even if it is shut down.  All you need is one other computer on the same network to be on and I’m InTouch Premium will automatically wake-up your computer when you try and access it. Think of all money you will save on your electricity bill by not having to leave your computers on all the time just to remotely access them.  Plus, you’ll always have access to your files and programs no matter where you are, never be denied remote access to your PC because it was accidentally shut down.

Turning on Remote Wake-Up is easy:

1. Login to your I’m InTouch Premium administrator account at https://locator.01com.com.
2. From your List of Computers page, place checkmarks next to the computers whose Remote Wake-Up properties you wish to change and click the User settings/Activate link.
3. On the User Settings page, ensure that each computer has check marks in the boxes for Remote Wake-Up Enabled. We also recommend doing the same for Remote Wake-Up Proxy so that any computer can act as the proxy to wake up the other computers. Remember, at least one computer must have Wake-Up Proxy enabled and be turned on in order for other computers to be remotely powered on.

Your computer is now ready to remotely powered on as needed. See here for more information about using I’m InTouch Premium’s Remote Wake-Up feature.

With the I’m InTouch SecureKEY Remote Access USB Stick, taking remote control of your distant PC is as easy as plugging a USB drive into a computer. The SecureKEY allows you to safely store your I’m InTouch remote access login information on the device and then automatically take remote control of your distant computer in seconds, just by plugging it into the USB slot of any PC with an Internet connection.

Not only does the SecureKEY make remotely accessing your PC a breeze, it also ensures that there is no possbility of unauthorized remote access. I’m InTouch Premium users can require that only a computer with their personal SecureKEY inserted into the USB slot can be used to remotely access their PC.  This means that even if somebody were to somehow learn your remote access login information, they would be unable to remotely control your PC since they would not have your SecureKEY.

Andrew Weiner of Examiner.com recently took a look at the SecureKEY.  See what he had to say here.

A recent article on itbusiness.ca discussed a study sponsored by Symantec Canada that found 35% of SMBs in Canada have not deployed even basic computer security measures. This despite the fact that 54% have had a company laptop or smartphone lost or stolen. The major reasons stated in the article for the negligence of security were costs, technical know-how and time.

The I’m InTouch Remote Access Platform  allows organizations facing these issues to still protect their data.  I’m InTouch  is cost-effective, does not require intricate technical knowledge to install or operate and can be up and running within minutes.

With I’m InTouch, companies can ensure all their data stays securely on the corporate network and avoid any instances of data loss from stolen laptops. Employees can remotely control their office workstation using the I’m InTouch SecurePC Remote Access Terminal or any laptop, without any information being transferred outside the office.

Mother’s Day is almost here (there’s still time to get a gift if you hurry), and it is a great time to think about all the ways your mom has helped you.  If you are looking for a way to make her life easier, how about assiting her with any computer troubles she might have. But what if you live in a different city, country, or even continent and can’t just drive over anytime she needs help? That’s where I’m InTouch comes in.

Remotely control your mom's PC to fix any problems from anywhere

Simply install I’m InTouch on her computer and then remotely take control of her PC anytime she has any problems.  It’s just as if you were physically at her computer! Whether you need to download or transfer any files, run any programs, or change any settings, I’m InTouch is perfect for assisting a friend or family member with their computer troubles.

You can even use I’m InTouch as an intructional tool. When you take remote control of your mom’s PC, she can watch exactly what you are doing right on her computer.

One of the nicest things about using I’m InTouch is that no matter where you are in the world, you will always have access to your computer. Dr. Ray Drury discovered just how useful having remote access to your PC can be while on a trip to Germany.

“I work as an Occupational health physician with multiple clients across the UK. Whilst in Germany using Outlook on my laptop, I was informed that my e-mails were not arriving at my client’s desk. I was able to log on to my office machine, transfer the files (medical reports) and e-mails to the office and resend them. Everything was back to normal as far as the clients were concerned within half a day. Brilliant.”

Whether you need to run a program, remotely transfer files, or access your Email, I’m InTouch allows you to take your computer with you wherever you go (without actually having to physically lug it around of course).

The end of the school year is fast approaching and with it, summer vacation for your children. When they are not outside enjoying the weather, they will probably be inside on the Internet. No matter how much you trust them, it is still nice to be able to check in every once and a while to make sure they aren’t getting into any trouble on the computer. This is where a Parental Control Software comes in handy and if you have I’m InTouch installed on your home computer, you already have one!

I’m InTouch can be installed in “Stealth Mode” which hides all indication that it is running on your computer. This allows you to remotely log in to your PC to see what it is being used for without any indications you are watching. You can view your home computer in real-time just as if you were sitting at it.

Setting up I'm InTouch's Stealth Mode

So every once and a while, remotely access your home PC during the day from your office workstation to check-in on your children and make sure everything is OK.

If it feels like you just don’t have enough hours in the day to get everything done at work, I’m InTouch remote access software can help you out. Here are a few handy tips for savings time so you don’t end up at work past bedtime:

1. Work from home - don’t spend an hour (or even two) commuting to and from work everyday if all you are going to do is use your workstation. Instead, install I’m InTouch remote access on your office workstation and remotely control your computer from your home PC. You can run all the same programs and access your email just as if you were in the office.
2. Administer all your computers from anywhere - if you manage multiple computers and are always having to travel to them to run updates, fix problems, and install software, why not use I’m InTouch Premium and manage them all from one PC? Just install I’m InTouch Premium on each of your PCs and then log in to your I’m InTouch administrator account to have one-click remote access to any of your computers from any PC with an Internet connection.
3. Conduct Online Meetings - Save time, money, and help the environment by conducting online meetings using I’m InTouch’s web conferencing software.  Install I’m InTouch on your PC and invite up to 10 guest users to share your desktop - perfect for conducting presentations, training sessions, and meetings and avoiding unnecessary plane, train, and car trips to meet clients and employees.

Another great use for I’m InTouch remote access is to keep all your data in one central computer so no matter where you are, you always have access to your files. There is nothing more frustrating than trying to remember where you saved a file. Is it on your office workstation, laptop, USB drive, home PC? Instead, just keep all your data on one computer and use I’m InTouch’s file management feature as needed.

This is exactly what William L. Rush uses I’m InTouch to do:

“I am a Psychologist specializing in marriage counseling. I have a busy practice with two offices and 5 associates. I have a computer in each office and one at home. For several years I have faced the headache of having different information on each computer. Keeping my master client database and related e-mails synchronized was a time-consuming mess.

I was getting ready to install a small business network to solve this problem when I discovered I’m InTouch. Now my client database and related e-mails are on one PC and I access that PC from my two offices. Problem solved. For less than $10 per month, I can access all my data without the expense and maintenance of a much more complex and expensive set-up. How amazing that I can print insurance forms now whichever office I am in from the same database. Terrific. Thank you so much for a wonderful product!”

If you have ever left the house/office and realized a bit too late that you forgot to print that document that you absolutely need to have, you will understand how useful the Remote Desktop Printing feature of I’m InTouch is. From any computer in the world with an Internet connection, you can remotely access your distant PC and then print any needed documents to your local printer.

The best part is that I’m InTouch 7.1 includes hassle-free remote printing  that does not require you to configure or install any printer drivers on your I’m InTouch computer.  Remotely printing documents really is just as easy as clicking print.

Using this feature also means you do not have to worry about transferring files to a USB memory stick or emailing them to yourself. There is no need to plan ahead and anticipate the exact documents you will need to print since you can login to your PC at anytime. A client suddenly decide they want a hard copy of a document sitting on your office workstation? No problem, remotely access your workstation and print the document for them in seconds.
