Farmers State BankManager gives us the ability to reach all of our laptop, desktop and table users across teh globe! Without this tool, we simply could not reach our user estate!!
David Lloyd ClubsDNA has greatly reduced the burden on the IT team with its software deployment. The safeguarding tool has been invaluable.
Merchant Taylors PrepWe were lacking the ability to monitor our student(s) while on desktops. Teacher(s) would have to walk around the classroom to keep our student(s) on task. It was difficult for a teacher to tell whether a student was following along with class work or surfing the internet and visiting non-related school approved websites. With the implementation of SoftLINK our teacher(s) can now monitor all student workstations from their desktop. The content filtering has been awesome for us. The student(s) are definitely kept on task. Our teachers get a lot of use out of SoftLINK's other features also. I would say Applied Computer System's service and technical support would definitely be a 10+.
Mr. Fallis, Crow Creek Tribal SchoolsWe were looking for a management tool to enhance instruction and to allow the monitoring of students as they work. We tried several network systems but found the intensive graphic requirements of the cad and 3D solid modeling software made the video response too slow.I saw the LINK System used at a local college, that was all it took. I knew I had to have it! The ability to focus each student on their own screen during direct instruction is invaluable. The ability to take control of the student station from the teacher station is important. If a student has a question there is no need to go to that station. If you would like to use that student’s screen for helping or instructing other students you can transmit that individual student’s screen to all the other student stations. We have used the LINK System since 1999. Applied Computer Systems is excellent. Their customer service is second to none! They are prompt, and courteous. If you call with a problem, they will do whatever it takes to solve that problem.
Mr. Wright, Bloomfield Central School DistrictThe LINK System is THE key piece of technology in our chemistry studio classrooms. Because of this system, every student has a front seat! The LINK System provides seamless, always-compatible, high frame rate video to each of our students, as well as student-teacher interaction and remote control. Images and data from a document camera, digital microscope, DVD, laptop, student computers, and other video sources can be displayed easily and controlled with a simple touch screen. Worth every penny!
Mr. Abrams, Truman CollegeThe LINK Projection System is a great teaching tool to have in our lower school computer lab! I can model and transmit what I want the students to learn and each student can see my monitor displayed on their monitor. Their eyes are where they need to be to complete the steps I am teaching. The blank out button lets me get everyone to stop and focus. I am glad such a device is available for teaching computers! We have investigated some software solutions, but none were nearly as good as the hardware solution for our particular needs. Our lab uses some older educational games and these either would not work, or worked far too slowly, using software solutions. The real beauty of the hardware solution is its speed, and compatibility. Our system was first installed in 1997, yet when we replaced the computers this last summer with new ones (probably the 4th time since the original install), everything kept working great. Also, when we had a power supply go out 2 years ago, we were able to purchase a replacement without problem.
Mr. Cox, St. Francis of Assisi Catholic SchoolThe LINK Systems are still going strong, and if asked, can highly recommend them. However, with our ever decreasing budgets, I doubt we'll be able to upgrade any time in the near future. The big problem with making a good product: They last too darn long!
Mr. Jung, San Mateo Adult SchoolThe software does what it is supposed to do: notify! It is extremely easy to roll out to client computers. The interface is very easy to use.
Village of BarlettManager is a fantastic solution because it has very minimal demand of system resources and extreme flexibility.
Insuring AmericaWe've been using Manager with one of our customers and it's been reliable, resilient, and easy to use.
Kamran Khan, Solar Communications LTDThe LINK System is ergonomically beneficial to all the students, an exciting and fun delivery of content, eliminates “bad seat” conditions, and is beneficial to instructor’s time and amount of content to be delivered. The most useful features are transmit, testing, student view, and keyboard/mouse control. My overall experience with the LINK System and Applied Computer Systems, Inc. is wonderful.
Mr. Sheehy, Buckeye Career CenterIt is reliable and easy to use and gives us confidence that all users will be able to use it in an emergency.
Clare Bourne, Furze Down SchoolWe currently use Notify and have done for a number of years now. It was a great find after we moved from a previous solution. It has been used during critical outages and planned downtime to inform our 6000+ users instantly.
David Smith, Whittington Health NHS TrustWe have the ability to see exactly where all our PCs are - and with DNA pro-actively finding new devices on the network, it has been a real time saver.
Dominic Parckar, DawleysThe features that really attracted us are the phrase matching and USB controls, both of which are much improved over our previous system, and the price being half what we were paying!
Matt Furneaux, Humphrey Davy SchoolWe use Notify as it is the quickest way to communicate with staff when we need to. It just works!
