OpenText has launched a platform to provide to provide iPad users with collaborative access to their line-of-business UNIX applications. OpenText Exceed onDemand  substitutes mouse interactions with tablet gestures.

“Exceed onDemand enables users to seamlessly transfer their active sessions between desktops and iPad devices. With virtual teams becoming the norm in the engineering world, the session sharing feature accelerates collaboration by allowing engineers to run virtual design meetings using Exceed onDemand and collaborate simultaneously on Apple iPad tablets and desktop computers, or to show designs on meeting room projectors.”

"As a new generation of enterprise workers usher into the post-PC world, organisations need to bridge the gap between their critical line-of-business applications and these new devices." said Eugene Cherny, General Manager for Connectivity at OpenText.

"Exceed onDemand for iPad allows them to offer a mobile, touch-friendly, collaborative solution to access UNIX applications, without sacrificing security or compliance."

Exceed onDemand for iPad is available on the iTunes Store.
