Calgary, Alberta – October 30, 2003 – Control-F1™ Corporation (Company Profile, Past Stories, Case Studies), a leading eSupport software company, will be exhibiting at the Educause 2003 Annual Conference—Balancing Opportunities, Expectations, and Resources. The conference is being held from November 4th to 7th at the Anaheim Convention Center in Anaheim, California.

Is your educational institution challenged with delivering superior IT support in the face of a declining budget? CF1-LIVE! 4.3 is your solution; enabling help desks to meet the growing IT requirements of students, faculty, and staff while reducing costs and increasing efficiency.

Wireless LAN computer labs, e-learning, and the Internet each dramatically increase the number of remote end users requiring help desk support. This increased reliance on technology demands sophisticated IT support solutions that can integrate with new and legacy systems to provide high performance, security, and greater efficiency.

Indiana University turned to CF1-LIVE! when challenged with such support problems. “The objective was to increase our Support Center’s capacity to assist students, faculty, and staff,” stated Garland Elmore, Associate Vice President for Teaching and Learning Information Technologies at Indiana University. By integrating CF1-LIVE! with existing software tools, Indiana University automated support services for over 110,000 students, faculty members, and staff.

With CF1-LIVE! 4.3, Control-F1 has once again raised the standard for eSupport by providing support organizations with features that outmatch existing software solutions in the eSupport marketplace. Major product enhancements include session reconnect-ability, flexible and comprehensive reporting, multi-language support, secure eSupport communications, and faster desktop sharing.

Control-F1 will be demonstrating the latest version of its premier eSupport solution, CF1‑LIVE! 4.3, at booth #347.  Drop by or book your demo in advance by visiting us at http://www.control-f1.com/ContactUs/Demo/Conference/.
