DROITWICH, England, October 28 /PRNewswire/ --

- As the Alternative to Citrix, Ericom's PowerTerm(R) WebConnect empowers 
Camberley Auto Factors with lower costs, ease of use and a simpler and faster 
deployment of enterprise-wide secure remote access

Ericom(R) Software is pleased to announce that Camberley Auto Factors, a
leading independent motor component distributor has selected PowerTerm(R)
WebConnect Enterprise -- The Alternative to Citrix - to provide secure remote
access for all its 28 branches to their head office- based Terminal server
infrastructure.

Camberley Auto Factors, founded in 1964, is the largest independent
distributor of motor components in the South of England. Through their
network of 28 trading locations, they provide an express delivery service of
top quality replacement parts to the motor trade in an area bounded by
Bristol and Bournemouth in the west, and London and Brighton in the east.

In addition to their core business of supplying motor parts to the motor
trade in Southern England, the company also operates a purpose-designed unit
known as the Caftec Centre, fully-equipped to provide demonstration and
training on all the very latest diagnostic equipment for the modern,
high-tech car. Besides Caftec Centre, there are also specialist divisions
serving the commercial vehicle market, the motor sport and performance
component area, and the sporting goods wholesale market.

In selecting PowerTerm WebConnect over Citrix, Camberley Auto Factors
were able to improve its service level, simplify the management of their
infrastructure, increase system resilience and enhance user performance. The
company were also able to utilise their existing infrastructure of Axel thin
clients with new Hewlett Packard servers while reducing the overall
investment required.

Working in parallel with Ericom's gold Business Partner M8UK, Camberley
Auto Factors have achieved their dual objectives of modernising their current
system while supporting future growth plans.

Ericom Managing Director for the UK, Ian Platt, commented, "Once again
PowerTerm WebConnect has proved itself a viable option for companies seeking
to provide secure remote access within its organisation. Ericom is winning

costs, ease of use and a simpler and faster implementation process compared
to the alternatives."
