ROAM Without Worry: Remote Access Just Got a Whole Lot Easier

June 29, 2006 -Charlotte-based SANDirect announces a new partnership with Canadian company AnyWare Group. The relationship allows SANDirect to bring AnyWare Group's unique, customer-driven access solution, called Role Oriented Access Management (ROAM), to the local and national market.

ROAM, a patent pending, secure access infrastructure, provides true clientless access to any mainframe, client server, or web-based application through a single, role-oriented portal, which means users have access only to the files and applications they need to fulfill their responsibilities within an organization.

The solution is compatible with standard corporate operating systems, including Windows, Unix and Linux; any type of computer, including Macs and thin clients; and any application that can be accessed remotely from within an organization.

"ROAM provides unprecedented simplicity, ease of use, scalability, security, and a very favourable cost to benefit ratio," says Gerry Verner, CEO, AnyWare Group. "And we're delighted to be offering it through a company as capable and service-oriented as SANDirect."

Capable of adding users in minutes, this managed service saves organizations tens of thousands of dollars in software and applications they would otherwise need to install and maintain on every computer.

ROAM delivers value in various industry sectors, including financial services, government and also professional services, but healthcare has been the first to embrace it for its cost savings and productivity benefits, which can improve patient outcomes. To date, physicians in some 64 North American hospitals use ROAM technology to access information and applications, when needed.

"I expect we'll see ROAM widely adopted across many sectors in the next few years," says Pete Reynolds, Marketing Director, SANDirect. "The cost savings and productivity increases for our clients are immense. Everyone who looks at ROAM is stunned by its capabilities."

AnyWare Group offers ROAM in the United States only through a very few select resellers, including SANDirect. "Its strong customer relationships with Fortune 1000 companies certainly caught our attention," says Verner, "but what really clinched the deal was the passion and excitement we saw in the SANDirect team."

SANDirect has been serving the Charlotte and national market for twelve years, and offering technology solutions for five. It is known for outstanding knowledge, innovation, and friendly customer service.

AnyWare Group's Vice President, Paul Hanson, will be visiting Charlotte on July 10 to meet with SANDirect and ROAM users. For more information, contact Pete Reynolds at SANDirect, 704-423-5765.
