Double Triumph For NetSupport At 2008 Network Computing Awards

The IT industry gathered at the Tower Hotel London on 13th March for the 2008 Network Computing Awards and it was a night of celebration for NetSupport. Short-listed for five awards, NetSupport came out on top in two of the evening's most keenly fought categories.

NetSupport Manager overcame strong competition to be named 'Software Product Of The Year' and NetSupport Protect was voted 'New Product Of The Year'.

Introducing the new addition to NetSupport's Product range - NetSupport Notify.

Building on the success of our market-leading classroom management solution, NetSupport School, and recently updated NetSupport Protect desktop security solution, NetSupport Notify has been produced to deliver a cost-effective, secure and powerful desktop notification and alerting solution for both school and corporate networks.

The philosophy behind NetSupport Notify is quite simple - namely to provide a method for delivering key information (notifications) to all desktop users across a LAN or WAN instantly. The beauty of NetSupport Notify is its ease of use, installation and ability to be deployed across any environment without the need for configuration changes to an existing network.

Cost effective and resiliant enterprise wide notification solutions

The top two industries using mass notification systems are government and universities. According to research firm the Yankee Group, the mass notification market is expected to become a $1.2 billion industry by 2011.

"We have had a very good experience with NetSupport Manager in the last few years. We have now gone a step ahead having combined it with NetSupport DNA. In the last year we have migrated from text based terminal applications to client-server application on Windows.

Many of the new applications require pre-requisites on the PC's and are often hardware dependent. It was very easy to see where, for instance, computers had insufficient memory, etc.. That also helps us to better evaluate and manage the total cost for our migration to new applications."

Employee Profile - Andy Naughton

"I have worked as an International Channel Manager here at NetSupport for seven years working closely with our partners in Europe, Middle East & Africa. During this time it has been very rewarding to have been involved in the significant development of our distribution channel and to help partners, both old and new, grow with us. Collecting awards such as UK Exporter of the Year along the way has been a gratifying endorsement of our work.

Prior to joining NetSupport I spent a number of years in a consultative sales role and so understand the importance of ensuring our products not only offer solutions to the key issues faced by customers but also demonstrate why they can be confident in choosing NetSupport as their solution provider. Countless independent product awards for our highly secure and reliable solutions, all developed exclusively by our own staff, are a testimony to the quality of our solutions. A growing and innovative product portfolio has ensured we have been able to enter new markets successfully and react positively to changes in the IT sector.

It is great to receive positive customer feedback daily from a customer base that includes businesses of all sizes and across market sectors, that tell us they are using our solutions to improve the management of their assets, improve their efficiency and customer service levels whilst also lowering their operating costs. In addition we have schools, districts and government education departments that tell us how they are using our solutions to help them raise academic attainment levels.

We have long recognised the value our distribution channel brings in the the very diverse markets that we serve, not least in helping us to deliver the highest levels of customer service and product support regardless of language or time zones.

All of which makes my job of working with our international customers and channel partners a pleasure. We are always keen to speak with potential new partners looking for high quality solutions to promote in local markets and so if you are interested please do contact me. "
