The one distributor that seems to understand this is doing something about it, is ScanSource. We have teamed up with a local developer who has designed monitoring applications for BMW North America. The application ScanSource is marketing is called ScanSource VirtualTechnician®. It is currently focused on the Point-Of-Sale industry, but as we continue to grow we will be developing integrated monitoring or Telephony and Security (cameras and DVR's). We currently monitor specific POS applications and we are working with IBM and other hardware manufactures to create the "one dashboard for all managed services". We will have a new release in July with a lot of new features including the option of remote access and control of end-user systems. We would welcome the oppurtunity to show you what we have and because of your research in the market place we would like get your input. Thank you for your research, work and articles in TechIQ.</p> VAR Guy,
