Remote device access (VNC based) is an essential tool when assisting, diagnosing, and troubleshooting devices. Connections to devices with FromVNC help in understanding problems of end-users along with supporting and training. Devices are accessible with any network connection even over a slower GPRS network. Bi-directional end user approved session replicates all actions on the device, reproduced in real-time on a remote console, which includes full control over all device features. MANAGED DEVICES Android BlackBerry ios Symbian Windows Mobile Windows CE/XP/Vista/7 MANAGEMENT SERVER Windows server Linux/Unix server Apache/IIS web server PHP 5 support MS SQL Server MySQL Server SMS sending gateway (FromSMS may be used)
Web based UI for the Helpdesk/support staff. The support staff needs very little training to fully operate the product. Possibility of making errors is controlled and limited. Non-technical web based UI for the end-user/smb. The end-users perform the basic operations by themselves by selecting the appropriate workflows. Apply workflows defined by admin, like install mobile applications, deploy predefined settings, make a backup and restore, remote wipe/detonate device in case of lost devices. A separate step is no longer needed to install the MDM client on the device. The option is now available as a check-box on the server interface. This not only makes the process easier, but also prevents accidental creation of a nonfunctional script.
