Speaker 1: My name is Cindy and I own the company's CLO Medical, Coding and Billing Company. I work with physicians and hospitals and practitioners. I do their coding and billing, and I use Remote Desktop for all my clients. I have several clients and I'm able to remote into their system using Remote Desktop. It's highly secure and I would give this five stars out of five. It's fantastic. Before I started using Remote Desktop Manager for all my clients, I used LogMeIn, which is very cumbersome. Half the time, it didn't work and I couldn't get logged into my clients. I wasn't so sure about the security, so I decided to go with Remote Desktop. I chose Remote Desktop Manager because it's very user-friendly. I'm not an IT person. I have a business and I have to do my own IT. So using Remote Desktop enables me to be able to manage all of the IT part of it. I can download it, I can program it, I can do everything with it. It's very user-friendly and easy to use. When I decided to go with Remote Desktop, it was very easy to bring it into my business. After discussing it with my clients, they were on board with it. It was a matter of... It was already on the computers. It's already programmed in there. It's just a matter of programming the IP address and getting connected with security, so it was a no-brainer. Very easy. It's cheap. I don't know if I want to say cheap, but I mean it's a great product for a very low, no cost. My advice to anybody that is looking at Remote Desktop Manager, do it. You will not be disappointed. I've been using it for 10 years now after fumbling for a long time with LogMeIn. The Remote Desktop Manager saved me time, saved me money, and my clients all love it.
