RemoteSmart |
Overview |
Provides a secure link between two or more Smart systems, enabling the
exchange of jobs which are of interest to both parties.
Job requests which are keyed in on the first system and despatched or
copied to the second system appear on the second operator's screen
automatically. Changes made by either operator appear on the other
operator's screen. No additional screens are required.
Since jobs
are being copied between systems, they may be reported or billed just like
locally generated jobs.
Neither operator has access to jobs in the
other's system which do not concern them.
The information to be
transferred (e.g. pricing) is configurable. |
in effect, allows remote users to operate a Smart
terminal on your network. It is similar in concept to using Terminal
Server or PC Anywhere but provides higher security and does not require
the client to purchase additional software.
The full functionality of Smart (with some minor cosmetic changes) is
available to the remote user. However, the remote user may be restricted
to seeing only those items, and performing only those functions, that
concern them.
Although Smart data may be viewed by the remote user, it is not copied
to or from their system, providing high levels of security. |
