Ottawa, March 8, 2006 - LPI Level Platforms Inc. today announced the release of Managed Workplace 5.0, a comprehensive remote monitoring and management software product for IT solution providers that offer managed services to their small and mid sized end customers. The all-inclusive features and new low prices are designed to make it practical for every IT solution provider in the world to transform its business from reactive break/fix to proactive managed services.
Winner of Microsoft's 2005 SMB Solution of the Year, Managed Workplace is the first managed services software product to provide comprehensive, integrated, end-to-end features in one simple, low-cost, easy-to-use, agentless software application. On March 1, 2006, attendees at XChange, a premier world solution provider conference held in Atlanta, voted Managed Workplace 5.0 as the 2006 Best Business Technology Solution.
"We use Managed Workplace to provide managed services to hundreds of small and mid sized businesses across the United States", said Michael Cooch, CEO of Everon Technology Services, Inc. of Boston, Massachusetts. "With Managed Workplace 5.0 we can provide faster response times and lower service costs while creating exciting new revenue opportunities."
Managed Workplace 4.0 was launched in March 2005. More than 1200 solution providers chose Managed Workplace 4.0 as their managed services platform, allowing Level Platforms in 2005 to outsell all its competitors combined by a factor of more than two to one.
Managed Workplace 5.0 is the culmination of a full year's development efforts combined with months of beta testing by more than 100 solution providers of all sizes. Building on Level Platforms award winning monitoring capability, Managed Workplace 5.0 offers a complete suite of fully integrated remote management features, all based on the simple, agentless, .NET architecture that remains the cornerstone of Level Platforms' success.
The new version includes everything an MSP needs for end-to-end remote detection and remediation over the Internet.
