01 Communique Launches Next Generation I'm InTouch?

TORONTO, ON – December 5, 2001 – Small and medium sized businesses looking for simple, cost-effective, remote access to company email and PC files don't need to look any further than to 01 Communique Laboratory Inc. (TSE:ONE). The PC messaging and communications company today announced the immediate availability of its next generation I'm InTouch remote access service. I'm InTouch benefits businesses by providing mobile workers with secure, direct remote access to their PC desktop for Outlook or Outlook Express email and access to their PC files from any Web or wireless browser.

"We have been looking for a remote access solution for some time that would enable our staff to access their email and files using a wireless device," said Anthony de Fazekas, a partner with the legal firm, and patent and trademark agents Keyser, Mason, Ball, LLP. "We looked at a number of applications, but found them to be too rigid in their approach, and very costly to implement and maintain. The new version of I'm InTouch impressed us. It is simple, cost-effective and secure. The integration with Microsoft Outlook is a big benefit and it supports RIM Blackberry and other similar technologies, which gives us flexibility, and does not lock us in to any particular hardware. I'm InTouch is definitely the right answer for us."

The key benefits of I'm InTouch include:

  • Seamless Integration with Microsoft Outlook and Outlook Express
    I'm InTouch seamlessly integrates with Microsoft® Outlook and Outlook Express to give mobile workers remote access to their email, calendar, and contacts. Users can read, reply, forward, and compose messages, delete old email, add and view attachments remotely, even on devices that don't support attachment viewing. With I'm InTouch, the email is processed in real-time directly at the desktop, so users never have to move or copy any data from their computer to a host service, re-examine messages, or synchronize when they return to their PC.
  • Convenient Remote File Management from any Web or Wireless Browser
    Using any computer with an Internet connection, a wireless Palm? or Handspring Visor?, RIM? Blackberry? handheld, Pocket PC, or Web-enabled cell phone, I'm InTouch gives users convenient access to any files on their PC and networked drives. Users can remotely manage their files, download and upload files between their PC and a remote computer, and remotely view the contents of over 50 different file formats.
  • Safe, Secure Access
    I'm InTouch provides a direct, peer-to-peer, 128-bit SSL secured connection between the remote device and the user's PC, so data never passes through a host server. In addition, I'm InTouch includes a unique 3-piece passcode, and works behind virtually any firewall or proxy setup.
  • Cost Effective, Easy to Set Up and Maintain
    I'm InTouch is easy to set up and maintain because it does not require a VPN, dedicated RAS, costly hardware or complex software. The service is available now at the introductory price of $9.95 per month or $99.95 per year. It is certified to run on PCs with Windows 98 SE, Windows ME, Windows NT 4.0 and Windows 2000 workstation or Windows XP Professional. The software is available for a free 30-day trial at http://www.imintouch.net.
