Doncaster Council gains efficiency and cost savings by adopting PowerTerm(R) WebConnect as their enterprise-wide secure remote application access solution.

DROITWICH, England, February 9 - Ericom Software announced today that Doncaster Council has chosen Ericom
PowerTerm WebConnect RemoteView to deliver secure remote access to the
Council's estate of 4,500 PCs, providing the council's employees with secure
access to a broad range of applications.

As part of a radical new approach to service delivery and a wider
programme of cost savings, the council has undertaken a major IT
modernisation programme using DELL hardware and Ericom. By modernising its IT
infrastructure, the Council can consolidate its estate offices and change the
way they deliver secure application access across the council.

All councils have a requirement to transform the way services are
delivered so that they can better meet the needs of the community and become
more effective at meeting the present and future needs of its citizens.
Enabling employees to securely access information remotely will help the
council in its bid to improve services within the community and reduce costs.

Ericom Managing Director for the UK, Ian Platt, commented, "We are
delighted that such a forward thinking local government authority has chosen
Ericom as their secure remote application access solution. Mobile working is
now part and parcel of service delivery and today more than ever the need by
local governments to demonstrate an ability to both manage cost while
improving service and operational efficiency is paramount."

    -- Secure on-demand application access - supports SSL encryption and
       Single Sign On
