We have a solution for any type of classroom and any operating system. Let us take care of the technology so you can focus on the learner.
We have been using Manager for years. It allows us to remote onto our clients computers with ease.
Bloor HomesWe 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 SchoolsDNA has greatly reduced the burden on the IT team with its software deployment. The safeguarding tool has been invaluable.
Merchant Taylors PrepA solid product, reliable, simple, and straight forward to use and very easy to set up. Used here on a daily basis for sending messages to staff. Invaluable for IT service information and urgent messages.
Michael Groom, Hethersett AcademyYes all is well with the LINK System. It is the best teaching tool I have ever used. We have new SmartBoards in our classrooms but one of my students just yesterday said they prefer the LINK System for my demonstrations. I agree.
Mr. Baierwalter, Bluffton H.S.Manager 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 ClubsNotify works as advertised, easy to setup and support. It is used throughout the school for all manner of notifications, from everyday messages, to technical and alert messages.
Stephen Boddy, Sunnyside AcademyThe 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 SchoolWith DNA, I can generate reports to see results and savings. This is an important feature for us as we weren't able to do this with any other products we had tried before.
KCEOC Community ActionWe 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 TrustDue 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 system is extremely easy to use and train staff on the ability to send alerts. Having the option to schedule the delivery of the messages is great as well.
St. Joseph's HealthDNA has been instrumental in terms of network and asset management here at Marmalade.
Alex Smith, MarmaladeThe product does what we require and the tech support has been excellent, very knowledgeable with fast responses.
Daniel Buck, Derwen CollegeWe use it every class and often for in-house presentations. It is a key element of QuickPen's training program.
Mr. Blair, QuickPen InternationalThe LINK System is excellent, I could not function without it, especially for the primary grades. The feature that benefits me the most is to be able to control each individual computer and also to be able to demonstrate procedures to the class on their individual computer. I use the system all the time to show students how to do different projects step by step. One of the biggest benefits is it is much quicker to be at the computer and help students with questions than to walk around and help students.
Kathy Lyons, St. Mary SchoolThere may be other similar systems out there readily available, either above or below their cost, but with their excellent products, knowledge, and customer service, it is worth every penny to work with ACS, Inc. and purchase the LINK System.
Steve Tomory, Rio Hondo CollegeQuick and easy use to notify our staff of problems. I have recommended the software to many colleagues.
State Governmental AgencyThe 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 have found the LINK System set ups are very beneficial to our instructors. They no longer have to constantly walk around the classroom to look over student shoulders to see how they are progressing. Instructors can interact with students having issues and blank all the screens when they want their attention. The most valuable feature is the instructor’s ability to monitor dual screen audio/video. ACS has been very receptive to our requests and designed special capabilities for us when needed.
