Miami, FL, June 21, 2006 –
DBK Concepts, a systems integrator
of AIDC solutions, announced
today that it will partner with
Odyssey Software to offer mobile
device management tools for
customers employing mobile computers.
This new alliance will provide
DBK’s customers with the
tools necessary to remotely
deploy applications and updates,
detect and diagnose problems,
take corrective action, and
assist or train end users.
Odyssey
Software’s Athena Device
Management Suite is designed
to meet the need for advanced
mobile device management providing
IT professionals with the tools
to remotely take corrective
action and securely monitor,
control, manage, and maintain
mobile devices in the field;
reducing support costs and improving
operational efficiencies. Athena
offers advanced mobile device
management infrastructure that
provides fully interactive remote
access for software deployment
and to troubleshoot and take
corrective action when problems
arise, reducing costly end-user
down time.
The
financial benefits of utilizing
device management have made
the solution appealing to companies
like Wal-Mart, Target, JC Penney
and Kohls. Device management,
specifically the Athena Suite,
results in a 30-95% reduction
of software deployment costs,
a 20-85% reduction in the number
of Help Desk Calls, a 30-90%
reduction in Help Desk call
length, and a 35-70% reduction
of devices returned from the
field “no problem found.”
“DBK’s
customers will benefit from
our partnership with Odyssey
as most have thousands of devices
in the field. Even those with
only a few units will find the
advantages of device management
as the Athena Suite utilizes
a browser interface and is compatible
with any unit running Microsoft©
OSs such as Pocket PC, Palm,
DOS, Handheld PC 2000, and all
Windows CE devices 2.11 and
higher,” said Danny Katz,
CEO of DBK Concepts. “Most
companies have yet to make use
of Device Management tools and
it is DBK’s obligation
as our customers’ ‘One
Point of Contact for Mobile
Data Collection Solutions’
to seek out and introduce such
exciting solutions.”
DBK

and developing complete, mobile
data-collection solutions. With
