Byram Township School district deploys Ericom PowerTerm WebConnect to achieve IT savings, reduce IT overhead, and provide a better user experience

CLOSTER, New Jersey, October 12, 2010 - Ericom Software, a global leader in Virtualization and Application Access
solutions, today announced that the Byram Township School district has
implemented Ericom's PowerTerm WebConnect to provide campus-wide, local and
remote desktop and application access.

Byram sought a desktop and application access solution that would provide
students, staff and administration with local and remote access to office,
eLearning applications, and student information systems residing on Windows
Terminal Servers and Virtual Desktops (VDI), from their thin clients and
other end user devices. They also wanted to reduce total cost of ownership
(TCO) and protect their investment in existing IT infrastructure. When the
school district found the cost of upgrading their existing Citrix solution to
be prohibitive, they decided instead to replace it with Ericom's comparable,
yet much more cost-effective solution.

After evaluating various options, Michael Marron, Byram's Technology
Coordinator and Scott Brousseau, Senior VP and CTO of PBG Networks, decided
on a desktop virtualization initiative for the school and chose Ericom
PowerTerm WebConnect. According to Marron, "PowerTerm WebConnect stood out by
offering better value for the management of the school systems, ease of
implementation, and simple setup with quick configuration and provisioning."
He added, "Now we are in the process of expanding the scope of deployment to
support many more users."

Ilan Paretsky, Ericom's VP of Marketing, commented, "Today's economy
mandates a careful re-alignment of IT environments with the realities of
operational challenges. Schools and other educational institutions are no
exception to this trend. With PowerTerm WebConnect, organizations can quickly
leverage the cost-savings and value of centrally managed applications, data
and other resources, including virtual desktops. Ericom's solution enables
speedy and cost-effective desktop deployments, while lowering IT overhead and
improving the user experience."
