Mr. B. Frank Duffy, Managing Director of Integrated Private Debt Corp. a subsidiary of Integrated Asset Management Corp. a leading Canadian alternative asset management company, uses I'm InTouch to access his corporate files with his BlackBerry handheld. "In my business I need to stay connected at all times. My BlackBerry handheld has proven to be a valuable tool to help me stay connected and manage my business while away from the office. I recently started using I'm InTouch to access files back at the office with my BlackBerry handheld. This gives me instant and easy access to any file back at the office, which helps me improve my response time to business associates and clients. I can access any file just as if I were in the office and then read the file and/or send it as an attachment."
Ms. Ilyse Valdivia, President of SPI Sales and Engineering an audio visual systems design and installation firm based in Coconut Grove, Florida also uses I'm InTouch to access her files. "As a salesperson that's constantly out of the office visiting clients I rely on my BlackBerry handheld to be in constant contact with my office. With I'm in Touch - It's like having my "office" with me at all times. I can access my price sheets, technical data files, pending quotations...from my BlackBerry handheld or from any PC with Internet access in the world. Before I would have to call the office and ask my assistant to pull up the information on my desktop PC. Now I can access my PC myself and find everything I need - quickly. I find I'm InTouch helps me to stay "one step ahead" of my competition by allowing me to provide instant information to my clients."
