Making the Switch, Moving From RemoteWare to RemoteLink

Written by Bryan Afonso | 2/16/21 3:38 PM

RemoteWare (XcelleNet) has been an effective operational data transfer solution for a wide variety of businesses and organizations since it was introduced in the late 1980s. Over 30 years later many companies in varying industries are still utilizing RemoteWare for their scheduled operational data file transfers and remote systems management tasks.

However, despite its long-term success and widespread adoption, RemoteWare is now an aged solution with legacy architecture. Since SAP took ownership, RemoteWare has lost its product roadmap, product engineering, license issues and renewal sales have also ceased.

In April 2017, SAP formalized their position by announcing the End of Life for both engineering and support for RemoteWare as of July 2018. RemoteRelief is here to help companies overcome the challenge of replacing RemoteWare running on Windows, Unix, Linux, and TCxSky (4690) endpoints with RemoteLink.  

RemoteLink was created to provide RemoteWare customers a flexible transition path that delivers a solution built on modern, secure architecture while minimizing the risk of interrupting existing operational data and logic workflow and creating opportunity to embrace new features and functionality going forward.  RemoteLink provides automated, scalable, intelligent file distribution and remote systems management tasks through advanced scripting, job control scheduling and robust logging capabilities. 

In today's retail and restaurant environments, customers are perpetually concerned with protecting their data. They want to know that when they swipe their credit card in your store/restaurant or share their email address with your company, their information is safe. RemoteLink’s architecture helps ensure your company’s operational data transfer system meets security compliance requirements by supporting the latest versions of server operating systems, security protocols and application framework.
