Traveling Smart in the New Airline Security Era with EasyReach™

Everyone who travels by air goes through airport security checkpoints. The Transportation Security Administration (TSA) is enhancing airport security with more random screenings of employees, stronger air cargo security measures and more rigorous identity verification. Some pundits are even predicting the end to the ‘“no-checked luggage’” flight.

But you've done your homework. With your laptop slung over your shoulder, you've packed everything you need for the three day business trip to Chicago in a single carry-on suitcase. Air travelers may now carry through airline security checkpoints only travel-size toiletries of three ounces or less that fit comfortably in one, quart-size, clear plastic, zip-top bag. So, at the security checkpoint, you remove from your carry-on the plastic bag that contains liquids and gels, like your shampoo and deodorant. You place the bag in a gray plastic bin. You remove your shoes and place them next to the plastic bag. You carefully place your laptop in another bin and set both bins and your carry-on luggage on the x-ray machine's conveyer belt. You place your keys, watch, ring and smartphone in the small basket the TSA screener gives you and then you pass through the metal detector. If all goes well, you take possession of your items and you're on your way. But things don't always go as expected. Your loose change sets off the alarm and you have to pass back through the metal detector after adding three quarters, a nickel and two pennies to the small basket. Finally, you pass inspection and the TSA screener hands you the basket with your keys, watch, ring and smartphone and instructs you to retrieve your items from the conveyer belt. But you're not done yet: the TSA screener inspecting your laptop asks you to turn it on. Delay after delay – what a hassle! Traveling light used to be a pleasant experience, you say to yourself.

Enter EasyReach™ service: provides fast, secure, on-demand access to all the critical documents on your remote PC using simply your smartphone. After you use EasyReach Find & Deliver the first time to resend that PDF product brochure to a prospective client, you think to yourself, Wait a minute. This is a radical new paradigm: I can travel light - without a laptop – just a smartphone!

Efficient, safe and secure remote computing using EasyReach service and your smartphone is a fundamental shift in your mobile computing requirements. Smartphones (i.e. hybrid mobile PDA-phones like the Blackberry, Palm Treo or Windows Mobile devices) are, by design, not meant for original content creation beyond e-mail, tasks and notes. While you might view documents on your smartphone, you still use your desktop or laptop PC to create business contracts, spreadsheets and presentations using programs like Microsoft Word, Excel or PowerPoint.

With EasyReach service, you use your smartphone to ‘“reach” into your office from the outside. You control, manage and use information from afar. The EasyReach Find & Deliver feature enables you to remotely find, organize, manage and act on key information – even share it with others who need it – within seconds. There's no need to remember where the information is stored: you just enter a keyword or phrase in the document that's on your remote PC. Once found, you deliver that information via e-mail or fax to anyone, anywhere.

You're now leaving your laptop behind. EasyReach service is at the center of your electronic work world. All your business documents are safely back in the office; you no longer worry about a stolen laptop. EasyReach service is your personal assistant, addressing those critical moments when you need to locate, send or act on information immediately. You perform these actions in less than a minute, working with more effectiveness and satisfaction. Many tasks never even hit your to-do list.

With EasyReach service, you truly have a mobile desktop – but travel light and with less airline security delays to deal with. This sure came in handy when your boss asked you to give a presentation to a new prospect while you were in Atlanta. The PowerPoint was back at the office. But with EasyReach software installed on your smartphone, you found it and e-mailed it to yourself. Then, with your Bluetooth presentation interface plugged into the overhead projector in the prospect's conference room, you were able to advance through the PowerPoint slides using your smartphone. Closing that deal was never easier – and you looked great doing it!
