I'm InTouch is a remote control software program that allows users to access and control a computer with the software installed from another computer or wireless device over the Internet. [1] I'm InTouch is developed and marketed by 01 Communique.
Product History
I'm InTouch was released to 01 Communique's corporate partners in 2000 and entered full distribution in 2001.[2] Early versions of I'm InTouch allowed users to set up a communications server on their home or office computer to access voicemail, emails, pages, and faxes from a web browser, phone, or wireless device.[2]
01 Communique would eventually incorporate their technology for providing access to a personal computer from another remote computer[3] that they received a patent for in 2005[4] into I'm InTouch. The company would launch a patent infringement lawsuit against Citrix Systems claiming the company's competing remote access software GoToMyPC infringed on their patent. [3]
Version Updates
In April 2002, Windows XP support was added to I'm InTouch. [5] Version 3.1 of the software, released later in 2002, would include a remote control feature allowing users to remotely run applications on their computer through a web browser on another computer.[6] In 2005, version 5.0 was released with remote control from Pocket PC devices added along with remote printing.[7]
I'm InTouch Corporate Server Edition
In 2005, 01 Communique released I'm InTouch Corporate Server Edition (CSE), an enterprise level software package co-developed with Hitachi. The package included software to install on a company's server, bypassing the need to use 01 Communique's servers for remote access sessions. The software also included central administration controls. [8] Version 2.0 was released in 2006 adding a remote "wake-up" feature allowing users to turn on a shut down computer from a web browser.[9]
