Introducing the new addition to NetSupport's Product range - NetSupport Notify.

Building on the success of our market-leading classroom management solution, NetSupport School, and recently updated NetSupport Protect desktop security solution, NetSupport Notify has been produced to deliver a cost-effective, secure and powerful desktop notification and alerting solution for both school and corporate networks.

The philosophy behind NetSupport Notify is quite simple - namely to provide a method for delivering key information (notifications) to all desktop users across a LAN or WAN instantly. The beauty of NetSupport Notify is its ease of use, installation and ability to be deployed across any environment without the need for configuration changes to an existing network.

NetSupport School 9 - PC Pro product review .........RATING:

'Although NetSupport School is aimed at schools, it would be worth serious consideration by any organisation involved in training using networked computers.' Click here to read the full review.

In the classroom, NetSupport School has enabled teachers to bring extra focus to lessons. The ability to show information from the teachers desktop to each students machine is an excellent way of gaining attention and if the children do feel the need to wander onto the internet when they should be listening, teachers can temporarily block access. For us in the IT department NetSupport School has provided a range of management tools to enable us to centrally monitor PC usage, run commands and deploy messages. All in all NetSupport School has been an excellent purchase

Walter Infant School purchased Netsupport Protect in September 2005 for its new computer suite and classroom computers because we were moving from a hardware supplier who included a fixed package of educational and desktop protection software to a more flexible Windows XP environment. We still needed to protect our systems from the more enthusiastic infant mouse clickers. Having looked around the market, NetSupport Protect offered the perfect combination of simplicity of setup and reasonable cost, so we added it to our toolkit, and haven't looked back. It's easy to use graphical interface and central deployment option was just what we were looking for, and it has served our purpose admirably.
