About Device Relationship Management

The proliferation of microprocessor-enabled devices, combined with the global connectivity of the Internet has led to a new market called Pervasive Computing. The intelligent devices that we see and interact with everyday such as copiers, elevators, vending machines, building control units, medical devices, and even automobiles represent an important new source of business information. To date most enterprises have not been able to tap this information.

Device Relationship Management addresses this significant information blind spot by providing a distributed information management system that leverages the Internet to connect enterprises to their products and keep them connected throughout their lifecycle. DRM allows timely, accurate, and unbiased information to be communicated automatically between remote devices deployed at customer facilities and external service personnel or enterprise business systems. Device Relationship Management helps turn reactive businesses into proactive businesses providing new sources of revenue and increased operational efficiency at lower costs with an ROI (Return On Investment) The monetary benefits derived from having spent money on developing or revising a system. In the IT world, there are more ways to compute ROI than Carter has liver pills (and for those of you who never heard of that expression, it means a lot).  that can often be measured in months.
