Who we are
Calgary-based Userful Corporation's unique software lets anyone provide secure desktop computers at a fraction of traditional costs. Privately held and founded in 1999, Userful was recently named Alberta's 10th fastest growing company under $20 million in revenue.
Userful software lets 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.
The centralized control offered by Userful usually requires hundreds of thousands of dollars of investment in Citrix, Terminal Services, thin client software, and IT administrators. Userful software brings this kind of control and enterprise-level service within everyone's reach.
Userful is rapidly becoming the standard for green computing worldwide. Attaching 10 monitors, mice and keyboards to a single computer reduces CO2 emissions by up to 15 tons per year per system and reduces electronic waste by up to 80%. In 2008 our software saved over 40,000 tons of CO2 emissions, the equivalent of taking 7000 cars off the road, or planting 10,000 acres of trees!
We firmly believe that every person deserves computer access. Userful's 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, and most recently we have provided thousands of Userful Multiplier desktops in Brazilian schools.
With over 400,000 workstations sold, Userful’s expanding network of partners has enabled our software to be used in over 100 countries.
What we do
Userful Multiplier™ software can create up to 10 independent workstations from a single standard PC box by simply attaching extra monitors, keyboards and mice.
This software is being used around the world by schools, libraries, military, hotels and other businesses. Userful Multiplier has provided huge savings on desktop computing costs by reducing the number of computer boxes that need to be purchased and maintained.
Userful Desktop™ is a complete computing solution that lets you manage, monitor, and multiply your PCs. Userful Desktop takes the headache out of managed desktops by providing a safe, secure and virus-free setting for clients that includes over 40 applications supporting over 30 languages.
