We provide three options to allow users to access Gatekeeper’s data from
wherever they are: Terminal Services, Pocket PCs and a technology we call
“replication”.
 |
Terminal Services |
Using Terminal Services
(or Citrix), you can leverage your existing technology by using older
PCs to run Gatekeeper. You can also allow users in the building next
door or across the state to have real-time access to Gatekeeper just
like users at your main site.
Example: MEORC uses Terminal
Services to allow several remote QA Coordinators to access Gatekeeper from
their home offices. Many of these Coordinators have only a dial-up
connection. Many Licking and Lake County users connect to Gatekeeper via
Citrix from buildings around the county.

Pocket PCs |
We have create a
Pocket Notes application to provide
Service Coordinators a way to access demographic and case note
information from the field. Staff can enter and review case notes right
from a Pocket PC, then synchronize the device with Gatekeeper when they
return to the office.
|
Replication |
Using our available
replication technology, physically distant locations can share a common
Gatekeeper database without the need for expensive high speed data
connections. Each location’s database is kept synchronized on a routine
basis…from once an hour to once a day.
Example: Franklin County
uses this technology to keep their Case Management and Administration
offices synchronized every two hours.
Using the same replication
technology, users with laptops can run Gatekeeper while they are away
from the office. When they return to the office and log into the
network, any work they did is automatically applied to the main
database. Simultaneously, any work done on the main database is
automatically applied to their laptop.

Replication technology is shown below:
