Lighthouse announces strategic alliance with GoLinkUp.com
May 25, 2006 – Lighthouse Practice Management Group, LLC, provider of consulting services and software to the dental
industry, today announced a strategic alliance with GoLinkUp.com, an Internet-based total mobility solution provider.
This came at the end of a 3-month long exercise to select the best possible remote access solution for
Lighthouse and its clients. Lighthouse had been evaluating GoLinkUp along with other solutions in a search
for the best method to provide remote consulting and technical support services since February,
and has recently announced the selection of GoLinkUp.
Effective immediately, every member of Club Lighthouse (Lighthouse's subscription-based website), gets a two-user
license of GoLinkUp as part of the monthly membership. The basic software package can be installed on as many
computers as the office wants and allows any two computers to be connected to each other at a time. Additional
"active" computers can be added at special discount prices from GoLinkUp.com.
Bakhtiar Hafeez, co-founder & CEO of GoLinkUp, said "The partnership with Lighthouse stands testimonial to the
effectiveness of our solution. We are delighted to have passed muster with their long and arduous assessment
of remote access and mobility solutions. This partnership is both timely and important as it provides the impetus
to strengthen our position in the healthcare industry while continuing to benefit Lighthouse and its clients."
Allen Jorgensen, one of the Lighthouse founders, said "Our clients have wanted a way to remotely access their office
computers forever, and we’ve helped them use several – pcAnywhere, GoToMyPC, Windows Remote Desktop, etc. All of
them have had their limitations – they’re either hard to set up, they require a static IP address, they’re slow,
they don't allow screen sharing, etc. As soon as we started our own trial usage of GoLinkUp, we liked it so well
that we started thinking about a way to let our clients use it for their own remote access needs. It worked better
than all other solutions we have tried, including services costing hundreds of dollars per month per user. This
alliance with GoLinkUp is ideal – it provides our clients with an excellent remote access tool, and expands our
ability to provide remote consulting, training and support services with features that are simply not available
in any other remote access product we know of."
Lighthouse plans to expand its use of GoLinkUp to online seminars and training sessions and offer these on a regular
basis, for up to 50 simultaneous offices.
