AnyWare Group unveils ROAM 4.0
Secure application and information delivery platform simplifies administration and support
to provide authorized individuals with anywhere-anytime access to the information
and applications they need to get the job done
Saint John, N.B. – January 24, 2008 – AnyWare Group, a leading provider of customer-driven information delivery and access solutions, today announced the availability of ROAM 4.0, the latest version of the company's proprietary application and information delivery platform. With ROAM 4.0, users will have a much richer experience for retrieving and exchanging mission-critical information in real time in a secure and efficient manner.
Today, more than 60 hospitals throughout North America have implemented ROAM (Role Oriented Access Management) technology to improve employee productivity and enhance patient care. Organizations are using ROAM to deliver applications and information to users based on their role – anytime, anywhere. ROAM 4.0's new reporting, administrative and collaboration tools make access to all information systems even easier, allowing users to make more informed decisions, improve productivity, and deliver superior service.
“AnyWare Group has always been on the forefront of cutting-edge information sharing and remote access solutions, giving people the power to access the information they need when they need it so they can make more informed decisions and be more proactive and productive in their professional and personal lives,” said Gerry Verner, chief executive officer, AnyWare Group. “ROAM 4.0 builds on this by providing flexible reporting tools and reducing time and effort required to diagnose IT issues, making information access, retrieval and exchange much simpler and more cost-effective.”
ROAM 4.0 is packed with powerful new tools and capabilities that have been designed to simplify the user experience, integrate with applications, and ease support and administration. Its secure infrastructure creates an integrated portal desktop for user access, end-user support, conferencing, auditing and reporting – all managed through one administrative interface.
Among the many business benefits of ROAM 4.0 are:
- Integrated End-User Support – ROAM 4.0's support tools provide a secure connection between the IT administrator and the user to help resolve issues quickly. The administrator can view and take control of the end user's desktop, instantly exchange files or folders, install or update files, or open a chat window for instant and secure communication. Additional enhancements include Self Registration and Self Password Reset, as well as a Compatibility Checker for easier troubleshooting;
- Enhanced User Access Capability – ROAM 4.0 includes a full-featured SSL virtual private network (VPN) solution which allows users running local clients to access backend systems. ROAM 4.0 also lets users remotely connect to a corporate PC from anywhere for easy access to their files, network shares and applications;
- Enhanced Reporting – ROAM 4.0's powerful ROAM Reports engine provides IT administrators with notifications of network or applications access to ensure they know who is using their network, which resources they are accessing, and the frequency of resource use;
- Enterprise Integration – ROAM 4.0 can be easily integrated with Microsoft Active Directory as well as with corporate applications such as email, file sharing and Microsoft SharePoint; and,
- Clinical Data Integration – ROAM 4.0's Message Broker integrates critical health data, systems, and disparate applications among multiple independent healthcare organizations into a common platform to provide guaranteed delivery of patient data to the specified destination. Message Broker, as with all ROAM services, is based on industry standards and is provided as a managed service with high availability and reliability, 24/7 monitoring and alarming, and reporting on Key Performance Indicators (KPIs).
ROAM addresses the needs of a wide range of verticals including healthcare and telecommunications. For instance, physicians use ROAM to securely access confidential and sensitive information – including email, patient records, test results and x-rays – from remote areas to allow quick diagnoses and reduce time-to-treatment delays. All they need is Internet access and a Web browser. ROAM also eliminates the need for IT administrators to set up and maintain a specialized portal tool for mobile users, freeing up their time to focus on more pressing network issues.
