Bloor HomesWe 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.

Dominic Magro, South London and Maudsley NHS Foundation TrustThe product deployed very easily and without any disruptions to users. The first they were aware of it was when the message first popped up!
Arden's Fine FoodsThe product does what we require and the tech support has been excellent, very knowledgeable with fast responses.
Daniel Buck, Derwen 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 SchoolWe use Notify as it is the quickest way to communicate with staff when we need to. It just works!
Sutherland Smith, Trinity SchoolSimple to Set up. Simple to Use!
Jamie Stevens, Carter Community SchoolDNA has transformed the IT support, allowing speedy remote access, particularly helpful working on a 110 acre site.
Chris Wilson, Langley SchoolWe've been using Manager with one of our customers and it's been reliable, resilient, and easy to use.
Kamran Khan, Solar Communications LTDOur faculty wanted to have the options to blank, transmit or control student workstations. I would recommend any type of academic university needing this product to look no further.
Mr. Kipp, Cal State FullertonThe 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 CenterManager 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 ClubsDue to there being many automated processes within DNA, it really has saved the IT team a lot of time from device discovery to application monitoring and enterprise reporting, it has really improved our performance.
Dermont Woods, Cork National Roads OfficeThe 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 SchoolWe needed a way to effectively put information in front of our students and the LINK Projection System does that. Every student has a computer and the ability to broadcast directly to their screen instead of a projected image in the front of the room is awesome. For many students, having the information right in front of them is a much more effective tool than general classroom projection. It is also nice to have the ability to blank the computers so that students are not ‘surfing’ during instruction.
