KING OF PRUSSIA, Pa., June 14, 2007 (PRIME NEWSWIRE) -- Neoware, Inc. (Nasdaq:NWRE), a leading provider of thin client computing solutions, today announced that Zumasys has joined its partner program as a Gold Member. A national provider of technology services and wireless mobility solutions, Zumasys joined the expanding partner program to add the Neoware m100 mobile thin client laptop offering to its broad spectrum of thin client and IT computing solutions. Zumasys' customers, who range from Fortune 500 enterprises to non-profits and small and mid-size businesses, will have the opportunity to capitalize on the added mobility provided by Neoware's thin clients.
Neoware's thin client solution has already been deployed by a Zumasys customer in the healthcare industry. Verde Valley Guidance Clinic provides outpatient mental health and substance abuse services to eastern Yavapai County, including the principle communities of Cottonwood, Camp Verde and Sedona, Arizona. With an 85-person staff caring for patients in office and at home, Verde Valley needed a way to update its electronic records remotely in real-time; they found the solution in Neoware's thin client devices.
"It is critical for our staff, which often works from patients' homes, to have the computing mobility and ability to easily access patient records from the road," said Robert Cartia, Verde Valley's CEO. "Zumasys' comprehensive IT solution, which included Neoware thin client products, satisfies our needs while helping us meet HIPAA's strict security requirements cost effectively. Additionally, having mobile access to electronic health records and the ability to update documents in real-time has enabled our staff to increase work efficiency by 5 to 10 percent."
As a Gold Partner, Zumasys will engage with Neoware in joint marketing efforts to capitalize on joint offerings and to enhance its commitment to providing secure, cost-effective solutions.
"Our partnership with Zumasys, a fast-growing company with an outstanding reputation, exemplifies our expanding channel program," said Jim Kirby, executive vice president of sales at Neoware. "Our Neoware m100 thin client laptop offering provides partners like Zumasys with a mobile, secure solution that will help to increase their customers' computing efficiency and decrease related IT costs."
"We are pleased to be a part of the Neoware Partner Program," said Paul Giobbi, President of Zumasys. "Zumasys is committed to developing the best possible IT solutions for our customers and Neoware's innovative 3G wireless integration meets a major customer need for more mobile computing systems."
