Six reasons why SCO TermVision is right for your organization

Centralized management

If youÆre concerned about the snowballing cost of managing Windows desktops then look no further. SCO TermVision includes SCO SuperVision, the System Management member of the SCO Vision family. SCO Supervision is designed to make it easy to manage Vision desktops from a single point. With SCO SuperVision, system administrators can remotely configure the SCO Vision Family clients, distribute files and desktops, automate administration tasks and restrict the privileges of individuals or groups of users as required. With simple mouse clicks the system administrator can customize SCO TermVision for different user groups, or restrict access to network resources and applications for greater security. Use SCO SuperVision to distribute updates at a single stroke - no more visits to individual PCs.

SCO SuperVision provides facilities for remote support too. You can remotely configure userÆs PCÆs or see exactly what tasks your users are running. You can even see what they see with a unique screen-shot facility.

Rejuvenate your UNIX business critical character application

SCO TermVision takes legacy applications beyond simple coexistence in the Windows environment. For immediate productivity improvements, create Windows style buttons which run prerecorded key stroke sequences. This eliminates the need for users to remember lengthy, complicated sequences to access the various features of an application. Using modern Windows development tools, such as ActiveX, within minutes you can enable your entire application to be navigated with a mouse. With a little more effort, a whole new interface can be designed to make existing legacy applications faster and easier to use, and extend its functionality, for example by adding pictures and movies to your inventory application.

With SCO TermVision, you are also ideally positioned to be able to exploit new generation of user interfaces.

SCO TermVision opens up the possibility to deliver your UNIX application to users via any industry standard Web browser. This gives even greater opportunities to deliver the benefits of your UNIX application to an even wider range of users.

Integrate with Windows applications

Having to re-enter UNIX data displayed on the screen opens the possibility of costly typographic errors. With SCO TermVision you should never have to re-type data. Just select the information you need, drag, and drop into the destination document whether itÆs UNIX or Windows. And because SCO TermVision was designed with Windows 95 in mind, you can always use the right mouse button to edit objects wherever you are.

At the heart of SCO TermVision is OLE 2 technology which not only delivers drag and drop functionality but the ability to Paste Links. Create Hot Links between your corporate information and great Windows tools like Microsoft Excel, and, watch as Excel dynamically charts your updating information.

Mobile users are full network citizens

Whether you are in the office or on the road the full functionality of SCO TermVision is available to you because SCO TermVision provides not just single host access but full LAN access to all servers and services. By using the supplied proxy server your remote PC becomes a full network citizen. So you can do what you do in the office when youÆre not.

Connecting to the network could not be easier as SCO TermVision supports MicrosoftÆs Telephony interface standard, TAPI. So wherever you may be modem use and dialing up is easily available. You wonÆt even need to worry about which transport mechanism to use - SCO TermVision dynamically switches to the suitable transport mechanism available.

Intuitive access to UNIX services

The Host Explorer component in SCO TermVision provides a natural extension to the Windows 95 Explorer and permits access to the UNIX Neighborhood, the collection of your organizationÆs server systems. Analogous to the Windows 95 Network Neighborhood, the UNIX Neighborhood can be viewed as an extension of your PCÆs local storage system. Using the Host Explorer users can double-click on icons in folders to drill-down into a server and navigate through the file system. In this way UNIX files are as accessible as Windows files. And when you locate the document or application you need just double click to launch it or, for frequent access, you can drag it onto the Windows 95 desktop.

SCO TermVision gives you the power to work faster, to do many actions simultaneously, making waiting a thing of the past. With SCO TermVision you can run as many sessions to your UNIX servers as you like. And because SCO TermVision provides a set of precision emulators covering the most popular UNIX terminals such as VT420 (and preceding), Wyse 60 and ANSI, you can be assured that every UNIX applicationÆs needs will be addressed.
