M4 Asset Manager
M4 Asset Manager is a new class of Geographic Operations Software (GOS) that enables users to manage and organize the office's infrastructure by tracking the end-to-end connectivity of networking equipment, computers, VOIP phones, security devices and printers. M4 Asset Manager is designed for telecoms to more effectively manage their own internal network through an intuitive graphical interface that allows managers to navigate network information visually.
Generate Revenues
In addition to improving telecom operations, M4 Asset Manager can also serve as a platform for delivering additional services to both homes and businesses. New revenue can be generated by delivering network monitoring and troubleshooting services to residential and commercial customers.
Residential customers benefit from having a local, trusted agent with access to the home control network. Home controls are now growing to incorporate not only security, but also lighting, energy management, HVAC, entertainment and more.
Commercial customers depend on telecoms, a trusted local business, to monitor their network and proactively identify threats. As the local technology expert, telecoms are well positioned to become the market leader in the delivery of remote services through the extension of their own operations software into their customer's premise.
