About Userful Corporation: secure managed desktops

About Userful Corporation

Userful is connecting the world through sustainable desktop computing.

Our products let anyone provide secure managed desktop computers at a fraction of traditional costs. They let you multiply and manage your desktops -- multiplying your hardware investment by delivering up to ten workstations from just one standard PC, and managing them all through an admin web site. With over 400,000 workstations sold, Userful software is used in over 100 countries from schools and libraries to hotels and Internet cafes, call centres, military and more.

Our core products

Userful Desktop™ is a complete public computing solution that lets you manage, monitor, and multiply your PCs. It takes the headache out of public computing by providing a safe, secure and virus-free setting for clients that includes over 40 applications supporting over 30 languages. Simple remote management makes it easy to control and customize your PCs, saving time and money.

In a recent survey our customers reported saving an average of 54% on desktop computer acquisition and operating costs over their previous solutions.

Userful Multiplier™ software can create up to 10 independent workstations from a single standard computer box by simply attaching extra monitors, keyboards and mice. It's easy to install and configure, and works with all the leading Linux distributions. We also offer a free 2-user version for personal use.

Userful is the industry leader in green computing

We pride ourselves on being the industry leader in green computing. Turning 1 computer into 10 reduces CO2 emissions by up to 15 tons per year per system and reduces electronic waste by up to 80%. In 2008 Userful users saved over 40,000 tons of CO2 emissions over what would have been generated with stand-alone PCs ... the equivalent of taking 7,000 cars off the road, or planting 10,000 acres of trees!

Computer access for all

We are firm believers that every person deserves computer access.

Our technology that turns 1 computer into 10 has made it feasible for schools in developing regions to give their students the computer access they need.

It started with 2,205 Userful Multiplier desktops in 105 South African schools. Most recently we have provided thousands of desktops to Brazilian schools.

Alberta's 10th fastest growing company

Privately held and founded in 1999, Userful has been experiencing rapid growth and was recently named Alberta's 10th fastest growing company under $20 million in revenue.

We're continuing to grow. Our platform is delivering affordable desktop computing worldwide through an expanding network of partners and resellers, and we are excited about the future.
