Product Description

Overview

Using just a standard web browser ITS:IrisCD allows applications to be launched across LANs, WANs or even the internet and suits all types of networking environments including; Terminal Servers, Citrix, Macs, Linux and Unix. Administrators can manage applications centrally via the web based interface with an easy to follow set up guide. ITS:IrisCD streamlines the networking of your CD/DVD ROM resources or Windows applications and monitors their use in real time. Comprehensive reports can be run so that you always know who is using which resource and trends such as peak usage can be determined.

How can ITS:IrisCD benefit my library?

Applications can be centrally managed and installed from anywhere via the web based interface. Administrators are guided step by step through the process of adding resources by the online set-up genie therefore saving valuable time setting up and managing CD/DVD-ROM resources.
ITS:IrisCD provides extensive usage data which is extremely beneficial when making budget decisions and gauging application licence requirements.
Save money by having full control over your existing CD/DVD-ROM licence agreements. Ensure you are fully aware of your expenditure and have the power to negotiate and reduce costs.
ITS:IrisCD displays which library members or staff are logged on, where and which titles they are using to ensure full utilisation of resources.
ITS:IrisCD includes a search facility allowing library members and staff to find application titles quickly, ideal if you have a multitude of titles.
Announcements concerning your organisation or additional application titles can be publicised via the information screen on which feedback can also be requested. Therefore potentially increasing communication within the library and ensuring library members and staff can be confident in the information they access from ITS:IrisCD.
Library members and staff can personalise their own menus to include the titles they use most frequently. This allows users to immediately access their resources eliminating valuable research time.
Users from particular domains can be automatically verified for access to ITS:IrisCD in order to reduce administration.
End user training is rarely required due to the web based interface.
