"System administrators can go into stealth mode when installing a new version of RedOxygen's SMS text messaging software" President George Bush isn't the only one that can be "stealthy" and infiltrate your email. System administrator's can too...only without causing a protest! RedOxygen, a global leader in corporate SMS text messaging software and platforms, announced the release of a new version of OfficeSMS for Microsoft Outlook. Like previous versions, OfficeSMS still allows users to send, receive, forward and reply to SMS text messages from Microsoft Outlook. The new version, however, offers an enhanced installation process that makes it simple for system administrators to perform corporate-wide rollouts instantly, remotely and securely. "We spoke to our customers and found that installations for large numbers of PCs required more time from the corporate PC administrators. With the new release of OfficeSMS, system administrations can install our software on multiple PCs within their network instantly, remotely and securely. Without the user's knowledge, the software will install under "stealth mode" and be fully operational the next time they open their Microsoft Outlook. It's that simple," explains Tom Sheahan, Founder and CEO of RedOxygen. As an example of how the new version of OfficeSMS can benefit your business, put yourself in the shoes of a system administrator controlling 1,000 PCs. To reduce telecommunications costs, you feel that 50% of your PC users should install RedOxygen's OfficeSMS software. In the past, it would take over 5 man days to rollout OfficeSMS onto 500 PCs. This assumes that you physically visit each PC and spend 5 minutes per installation per PC (5 minutes x 500 PCs = 2,500 minutes / 8 hour work day = 5.2 days). However with the new version of OfficeSMS, deployment time can be reduced to only several minutes...if that. Using RedOxygen's MSI (Microsoft Software Installer) and any common application deployment software, such as Microsoft Systems Management Server, OfficeSMS will self-install and configure in "stealth mode" once the user opens their Microsoft Outlook. RedOxygen's "New SMS Message" button magically appears on their Outlook toolbar and users can begin sending and receiving messages immediately. So not all "stealth" activity is bad. Systems administrators can save days (not just hours) of time when performing corporate-wide rollouts with the new version of RedOxygen's OfficeSMS software and MSI.
