"Doing good is just good business." - Thomas Koll, CEO, Laplink Software, Inc. Kirkland, WA " January 10, 2005 " Laplink Software, known as the global leader in connectivity software, has launched a new initiative, "Connecting with our Communities", which allows nonprofit organizations across North America the opportunity to experience the benefits of Laplink Gold 12 absolutely free.
This initiative is built on Laplink"s conviction that helping the not-for-profit sector succeed is good for everyone. With Laplink Gold 12, nonprofits can maximize their productivity and reallocate resources from purchasing software to delivering services that directly benefit the communities they support.
"We are always looking for ways to help others and this seemed like the perfect opportunity," explains Thomas Koll, Laplink"s CEO. "Our corporate clients benefit from this kind of connectivity and mobility. We feel that it"s important for organizations making a positive difference in the world to obtain the same benefits, without the cost of software being an obstacle. We believe the bottom line is important, whether it"s measured in dollars or people. This initiative will have a positive effect on our community, and that"s good for everyone."
Laplink Gold 12 allows PC users to connect to, access and remotely control other Laplink-enabled computers over any connection type, increasing the productivity of both IT personnel and mobile employees and volunteers:
IT staff using Laplink Gold 12 can provide instant PC support across an organization of any size spread around the world. They can synchronize data between computers, run applications, support co-workers, operate, maintain and even restart remote computers without leaving their desks.
With Laplink Gold 12, home-based, remote, or mobile employees or volunteers can remotely access complete workstation or server resources from their home or laptop computers. Now all work-based email, files, databases and applications can be at their fingertips, no matter where the user is or where their data is located. They can also synchronize folders, launch applications, and even reboot a PC or server from any remote location. And Laplink Gold 12 is compatible with any existing firewall and router configurations, providing unparalleled security and simplicity.
"Basically, this technology makes connecting easy, fast and safe, whether you need to connect mobile workers and on-site resources, or tech support staff and remote computers," says Koll. "The possibilities it opens up for charitable organizations are endless. We"re excited to see what kind of impact this will have."
