by Rebecca Walker — November 14, 2008—ManageEngine, makers of a globally renowned suite of cost effective facility, network, systems and security management software solutions, has introduced an upgraded version of its integrated FacilitiesDesk software, a highly comprehensive facility and maintenance management application.
The new version features a number of additional capabilities that are particularly valuable in large facility infrastructures. For example, FacilitiesDesk now tracks asset utilization based on meter readings. When assets reach pre-defined meter levels, an alert is automatically generated, at which time preventive maintenance is performed, ensuring the asset continues to operate well, increasing the return on investment.
Work orders are reported in real-time, providing up-to-the-minute visibility into scheduled upkeep and maintenance, says the company. A new inventory management feature monitors component stock levels, triggering an alert and automatically generating a purchase order when stock depletes to a pre-defined level.
The new edition of ManageEngine FacilitiesDesk can be downloaded directly from the company’s Web site. A fully functional 30-day trial version is available for evaluation.
