SimDesk Technologies Sets Its Sights on Eliminating the Digital Divide
T.H.E.: How d'es SimDesk handle the competition with larger corporations that offer similar software programs?
Waters: SimDesk changes the game in a fundamental way. We are providing the entire system, including the client software, the server system, the data center and everything in between, for a single community license price. We can do something that has never before been possible: one-to-one services for entire populations. And this means that no one is able to compete with us on our ground.
T.H.E.: Tell us anything else about SimDesk that is important to the education community.
Waters: SimDesk never forces the user to make a choice when it comes to his/her desktop. If one wants to use an alternative office suite, we support it. If one wants to switch back and forth between Windows and Linux, we support both. We feel that no one should be forced to make a choice by a closed or locked system. The technology market is opening up like never before, and individuals should be free to explore and find what fits them best.
