The iRadeon Dashboard offers a powerful and low-cost alternative to proprietary on demand offerings such as Salesforce.com's APPExchange. With the Dashboard release, iRadeon customers will get a standard suite of four web applications (CRM, Project Management, Learning Management and Knowledgebase). Over time iRadeon plans to expand its on demand offerings, allowing clients to dynamically add additional open source applications to their Dashboard environments. The iRadeon Dashboard's integrated interface provides users with a single sign-on and centralized administration for each supported application. This seamless integration is essential for today's team-driven workplace, where applications like CRM and Project Management bring a valuable competitive edge through efficient collaboration.

"iRadeon's Dashboard is the new command center for our business," said Lou Lesko, CEO at Blinkbid.com. "By converging our open source CRM and Project Management systems, our people now have a centralized, easy-to-use tool for managing team activities in key parts of our business. As a small operation with a distributed team, the shared view of critical business information that Dashboard gives us is invaluable for making the important day-to-day decisions that move our company forward."

The iRadeon Dashboard is a component of the iRadeon Application Delivery System (iRADS), which also includes:

- Auto Deployment System

A unique feature that automatically deploys and configures customer applications, making them accessible within 10 minutes or less via a Web browser;

- Firewall Protection

Firewall protection is included and automatically deployed for all iRadeon on demand service plans;

- SSL Encryption

SSL encryption allows for secure transfer of data between client browsers and iRadeon servers;

- Redundant Backup Protection

iRADS automatically configures backup protection, securely storing 15 days of incremental data for client applications; and

- Caching and Acceleration

iRADS enhances Web application performance by deploying PHPAccelerator, the leading PHP caching and performance enhancement solution.

The iRadeon Dashboard delivers a host of critical web collaborative features allowing organizations to increase the value of each individual application. All of the applications are accessed through a single sign-on, eliminating the need to remember multiple user names and passwords. Once signed on to the Dashboard, users have a personalized view of key business information such as upcoming calendar items, projects, tasks and more. With integrated document search capabilities, users can search both titles and text content of all Word and PDF documents stored across multiple repositories. The Dashboard also offers interoffice chat capability for real-time web collaboration. The flexible infrastructure of iRADS also makes it easy to integrate newly emerging open source technologies, allowing the iRadeon Dashboard to expand over time with an organization's needs.

"The iRadeon Dashboard, combined with emerging open source technologies, is a true breakthrough that is leading the way for widespread adoption of Web applications by small and medium businesses," said Jeff Minich, vice president of strategy for iRadeon. "What Microsoft is planning to do with its Office Live offering over the next few years -- enhancing team productivity with collaborative Web technologies -- iRadeon is already doing today. We're addressing the needs of small and medium businesses by combining the power of open source applications with the simplicity and low cost of our unique on demand Webtop environment, making it the most accessible software as a service solution on the market today."

iRadeon provides on demand services for open source business software that deliver the benefits of enterprise applications such as elearning, web collaboration, web conferencing and CRM for a small fraction of the cost of proprietary vendors.
