iDirect Launches New Standard Edition of SatManage
Simplified software offering targeted at mid-tier operators looking to optimize network operations and enhance customer management
HERNDON, Va. -- VT iDirect, Inc. (iDirect), a company of VT Systems, Inc. (VT Systems), today announced it has released a new software edition for its award-winning SatManage system. SatManage Standard is a simplified, out-of-the-box software offering designed for satellite operators with small to mid-tier network deployments that want to improve their operations, grow their business and increase customer loyalty. Like the Enterprise edition, SatManage Standard includes a powerful suite of Web-based software tools that integrate, monitor and automate satellite networks and Network Operations Center (NOC)-based applications. iDirect is a world leader in satellite-based IP communications technology.
SatManage Standard is specifically designed for mid-tier operators that have networks with up to 1,000 VSATs and less complex requirements for mobile remotes and extended reporting. SatManage Standard provides all the key functionality in the Enterprise edition, but without the extra mobility and traffic analysis features that are not relevant for smaller, fixed deployments. If an operators' network size or complexity becomes large enough, they can easily upgrade from the Standard edition to the Enterprise edition.
With SatManage Standard, network operators can improve the efficiency of their operations. A comprehensive range of visual correlation tracking and reporting tools, and a centralized monitoring dashboard, provide immediate visibility into network performance so operators can rapidly identify, respond to and prevent service degradation. In addition, SatManage offers intuitive customer management tools and portal interfaces that provide enhanced communication, reporting and network visibility to customers to improve satisfaction.
"The Enterprise edition of SatManage has been so well received by our larger network operators that our mid-tier operators have asked us to provide an entry-level, turnkey solution that is more tailored to their needs. The Standard edition will enable a broader range of operators to take advantage of SatManage to increase their overall network performance, streamline NOC operations and ultimately provide customers with a higher standard of service and responsiveness."
