Planet Associates Introduces New iiPDF Solution and Planet evolution Web Client
Supplier of Software for Organizations' Critical Infrastructure Needs Provides Unique Way of Delivering Information to Field; Solution Will Help Government Agencies, Enterprise Customers Address Disaster Recovery and Business Continuity Planning Functions
NEPTUNE, N.J. - June 27, 2007 - Planet Associates Inc., the leading provider of Infrastructure Relationship Management (IRM) software and services, today announced new offerings to help companies and government agencies provide accurate, up-to-date information to field operations personnel or first responders for daily procedures or during emergency situations.
Available immediately, the iiPDF(TM) (intelligent infrastructure PDF) product and Planet evolution(TM) web client extends the Planet® IRM CMDB repository by creating or distributing up-to-the-minute, multi-layered iiPDF files containing critical infrastructure data information such as equipment details, geospatial coordinates, inside/outside cable plant and pathways, connectivity, and circuit analysis using only a web browser with Adobe Reader®.
"Getting accurate, up-to-date, thorough information to the field in a simplistic form for day-to-day procedures or during emergency situations may take an extensive period of time, delaying work activities or leaving first responders waiting idly while critical minutes pass," said William Spencer, President and CEO of Planet Associates. "Typically used for change and asset management, the web-based capability now available with our Planet IRM repository transforms it into an essential tool for first-responders, field support, and outside contractors. Companies and agencies can now put real-time, up-to-date critical data in the remote hands of those who need it most - quickly and easily - while protecting resident information from unauthorized changes."
Planet IRM is the company's flagship solution used to consolidate critical infrastructure information and streamline IT operations through a single, centralized, visual data repository. The solution, introduced more than 10 years ago, improves operational efficiency and service levels, reduces network disruptions and downtime, and provides the cohesion necessary for accurate and thorough critical system analysis.
The iiPDF product with Planet evolution increases Planet IRM's usability beyond the constraints of a local workstation, allowing data access with minimal training for field personnel. Sophisticated template mechanisms isolate key components rapidly for immediate response, while its layering capabilities allow remote users to hide unwanted details to focus on key equipment, locations, cables, or circuits. All corporate information is protected with established Planet IRM user and role-based security schemes.
