Customer success stories
We use thin-client technology to enforce security and to make sure that we have good controls and visibility into where our data goes.
We have a 24/7 technical help desk. With OpenText Exceed TurboX, we can look into the system, share screens, as well as take over sessions to troubleshoot critical issues. We can better support our customers using session sharing than we can by dealing with the problem over telephone or email. Any customer issues can quickly lead to costly flight delays. It is helping us when we are helping our customers.
HostExplorer is so seamless that the users don’t even know that it’s there, and from an administrative point of view, that’s great!
