WebNMS IoT applications platform upgrade unveils at IOT Evolution Expo

CHENNAI: WebNMS, the service provider software division of Zoho Corporation that provides scalable software platforms for IoT and multi-vendor network management solutions, is introducing its location and vehicle management capabilities at the IoT Evolution Expo (August 17 and 20, 2015), at Caesars Palace in Las Vegas.

WebNMS claims that its IoT Application Platform is the industry’s first open IoT platform to combine remote monitoring and energy management with location and vehicle management. Applications built on the platform’s open APIs allow enterprises to increase the productivity of fixed and mobile, high-value assets while reducing their total operational expense (OPEX) such as energy and maintenance.

WebNMS new capabilities that include location tagging, geo-fencing, asset routing and on-board diagnostics. Also accessible via open APIs, these functions enable innovative applications for fleet management, logistics orchestration, remote troubleshooting and maintenance scheduling.

“IOT Evolution is a great forum to exhibit our enterprise location and vehicle management solutions,” said Prabhu Ramachandran, director of WebNMS. “These unified capabilities, published as APIs on our open IoT platform, enable enterprise IoT application innovation where it makes a big difference to the bottom line.”

Ramachandran further explained that the profits of many businesses rely on extracting value from intensive investment in high-value capital assets. These assets include remote physical plant, vehicle fleets and shared or leased portable equipment. Today, managing these assets requires the use of proprietary software applications that inhibit operational integration and limit economies of scale. In order to leverage the efficiencies of IoT technology, enterprises need more flexible, scalable solutions built within an open ecosystem.

He believes that the WebNMS IoT solution unifies a comprehensive suite of capabilities, exposed as open APIs on the scalable WebNMS IoT Application Platform.  WebNMS collaborates with IoT hardware vendors, solution partners and third-party application developers to promote a robust, open IoT ecosystem for scalable, secure solutions for enterprises and service providers.

The WebNMS IoT Application Platform has already won awards for its open architecture and its applications. These applications continuously track the real-time security, energy usage, environment and operational condition of remote infrastructure such as cell towers, windmills, ATM sites, data centers (DCIM) and transportation systems. The platform shares collected information via open APIs to enable operational optimization with data analytics.
