From Our Customers"Proxy allows me to connect with my users and solve their problems immediately, instead of travelling to their location which eats up valuable time. It also lets me provide training remotely for new and existing customers. I am able to perform maintenance afterhours without user interaction at all our remote locations. I am satisfied enough so that I have recommended the product to several other companies which are now Proxy users."
"Watson Realty Corp has offices located throughout North and Central Florida and South Georgia with over 1100 workstations and 1600 agents. With Proxy Pro, we can give immediate software and hardware support. Proxy Pro has proven to be a essential tool and our investment has been returned several times over by reducing the amount of time that I have to send technicians onsite."
