DesktopDirect from Array Networks (News - Alert) Inc. seems to be a hit with Needham Bank employees as usage of remote access is said to have tripled after employees found that with DesktopDirect they could access all files and applications anytime and anywhere without compromising data.
Array Networks, a global leader in enterprise secure application delivery and universal access solutions has made it possible for Needham Bank to encourage employees to stay productive and collaborate when required, even when they are on the move, through the corporate- issue iPads.
Needham Bank leverages the Array Networks solution for publishing extranet resources – eliminating the need for six to eight separate products. DesktopDirect has increased employee productivity while complying with security standards and regulations in a cost-effective manner.
James Gordon, vice president of IT at Needham Bank said that DesktopDirect's ease of use had encouraged the bank's employees to increase their remote access usage. With no usage or security hassles, and lower TCO, no additional passwords to remember, DesktopDirect had been an obvious choice.
Sunil Cherian (News - Alert), vice president of product marketing for Array Networks said that DesktopDirect had been an offshoot of not only understanding the hidden expenses of IT support but of also understanding that the hassles of regular resetting of passwords, installation of software on every computer and maintaining them, constituted a waste of IT resources. DesktopDirect's robust solution ensured secure and optimized access while minimizing costs.
Founded in 2000, Array Networks is a global leader in enterprise secure application delivery and universal access solutions for rapidly growing SSL VPN and application acceleration markets.
Needham Bank is a Mass. community bank that has been providing commercial and consumer products since 1892.
In a related news release, Array Networks Inc., a global leader in secure application delivery, announced the launch of the DesktopDirect iPhone (News - Alert) Client, the first iPhone application for enterprise remote desktop access.
