01 Communique Launches Enhanced I'm InTouch; with Remote Control Service Giving Users Complete Access to PC Applications

Award winning Remote Access service just got better

TORONTO, ON – AUGUST 8, 2002 – 01 Communique Laboratory Inc. (TSX: ONE), a leading provider of remote access and integrated communications solutions today announced the launch of I’m InTouch Version 3.1. Along with convenient remote access to Outlook e-mail, contacts, calendar and any file while away from your PC, I’m InTouch v3.1 incorporates a new remote control feature that allows users to easily connect to their computer and get full access to any desktop application or setting by using a regular internet browser.

“Our current and potential customers have told us that along with I’m InTouch’s current productivity features they needed the flexibility to be able to access specialized applications that are essential to running their businesses.” Said Andrew Cheung, President and CEO, 01 Communique, “Examples of these specialized applications range from finance and accounting software, to inventory systems, to customer relationship management and sales force automation tools. By supporting this functionality we are providing a powerful, cost-effective remote access solution for mobile individuals within businesses.”

Being able to run a specialized application from the convenience of any computer connected to the Internet without any additional remote access software loaded on it, means that mobile employees can now be even more productive and responsive to customer requests with greater ease. With I’m InTouch v3.1 a mobile professional can eliminate the trip back to the office after a day of customer meetings, by sitting down at a computer at home, or in an internet café or kiosk, or by using a wireless PDA and connecting to their PC at the office to complete various tasks such as placing orders, tracking inventory or updating records.

The new remote control feature also presents an enhanced technical support application for end-users and resellers of I’m InTouch. Computer users that subscribe to I’m InTouch and require technical assistance from any vendor to solve a software or system problem can give help desk technicians remote control access to their computer, even if the help desk technician does not have the I’m InTouch service. This feature also gives resellers the power to troubleshoot customer computer problems when they include I’m InTouch as part of their service package

The new remote control feature that has been incorporated into I’m InTouch v3.1 has been developed in response to the needs of the growing mobile workforce. A recent report released by research firm International Data Corporation concludes that the mobile workforce continues to grow. According to International Data Corporation the number of mobile workers in North America will increase by 12.7 million between 2001 and 2006, from 92 million to 105 million.

Launched twelve months ago the award winning I’m InTouch service has lead the way in the marketplace as the most cost effective and reliable remote access service available. I’m InTouch v3.1 allows users a level of access that is virtually identical to sitting in front of their computer. I’m InTouch v3.1 is a cost effective remote access solution that enables businesses to give employees secure 128-bit encrypted remote access without having to invest in costly VPN solutions, access servers or expensive Laptops for mobile employees. These latest product developments will be made available to all current and future I’m InTouch subscribers, along with free technical support, unlimited access and free upgrades.
