Arkessa Announces Emport and Makes M2M Management Easy
CAMBRIDGE, England, November 14, 2011/PRNewswire/ --
- Emport brings all the information about remote infrastructure to one
place
Arkessa, the remote internet company which makes M2M easy, has built a
web-based software application that enables a multi-network estate of
machine-to-machine (M2M) connections to be managed via a single graphical
dashboard.
The dashboard is central to Arkessa's new M2M asset management portal,
Emport. This portal enables, for the first time, managers to view, monitor
and tune their entire register of M2M connections at the same time.
Compatible with all networks and all operators, Emport joins existing
estates of connections, from within any country, to the global or universal
networks that provide world-wide coverage on multiple networks.
"Our goal was to make available the data that M2M managers value most,
and give it to them instantly," said Paul Green, director of marketing and
technology at Arkessa. "We also recognise the need to make a system that's
flexible and intuitive. Emport is a vital and powerful tool for managers
that is incredibly easy to use."
Filtering of the data stored within Emport reveals the information that
is of value. This is achieved by interacting directly with the portal's
on-screen graphics. Interaction via mouse clicks to pie and bar charts
enable Emport to reveal, instantly, information that is focused on any
number of parameters of choice, such as specific device groups, connections
or geographical areas of interest.
User-defined tags can be applied to each connection within Emport. This
assists with the identification of each connection, and enables the
filtering into sets defined by users. However, when more information is
required than can be held within a tag, Emport can be directed to data held
within a company's own IT systems.
In this way details, such as contacts, service level agreements,
emergency numbers and preferred contractors, can be copied to user-defined
fields and held within Emport for reference. This information is
automatically checked and refreshed constantly, ensuring it is always up to
date.
Emport automatically stores data for analysis purposes, enabling users
to watch trends and monitor the performance of connections over time. This
shows quickly which connections are not performing as expected. While the
performance of each connection can be analysed, its running cost can be
recorded by carrier and location. These costs can be contained by use of a
range of features, including data alerts and caps that prevent over use and
'bill shock'.
Paul Green said: "Arkessa is an innovator that's making M2M easy to work
with. Until now, the information that would be incredibly useful to IT,
network and facilities managers has been buried and spread across a variety
of systems. We've built an application that brings that information to one
place, is as easy to use as an iPhone and can even incorporate external
information that's vital to the running of a business."
The creation of Emport is Arkessa's response to research, carried out in
recent years, that revealed M2M managers desire immediate access to data
that's relevant and live. They want it quickly, and they need to analyse the
current information along side its history.
Though the data travelling through each connection cannot be collected
or read by Emport, the viability of each connection can be monitored, live,
from the dashboard. If it is inactive, it can be pinged directly from the
same screen, without the need to go to a different application.
Anticipating that customers for Emport will have a variety of needs and
be operating within quite different business models, Arkessa has developed a
range of scalable licence packages. While the entry-level standard package
is intended for single user organisation, each managing up to 5,000
connections, a top-level 'White Label' package appropriate to mobile network
operators, Systems Integrators and major corporate users, can be supplied
with any level of customisation and branding that is required.
Emport, which is supported by Arkessa's world-class support services, is
available now.
More information about the product, how it can be integrated into
different businesses and its pricing can be obtained from Adrian Currall at
Arkessa.
