Fluensee partners with BMC Software

Monday, March 2, 2009

RFID solutions provider Fluensee has announced a new partnership with BMC Software, a provider of enterprise management solutions and data center automation software. Under the terms of the deal, Fluensee’s AssetTrack solution will be integrated into BMC’s Remedy Asset Management Application solution, to provide real-time visibility, security and control of enterprise IT assets through RFID-enabled tracking.

Fluensee’s AssetTrack AssetTrack uses RFID technology to automate the locating, tracking and monitoring of IT assets, while BMC’s Remedy Asset Management Application aligns asset portfolios to business needs and streamlines interactions with other management processes. The addition of the Fluensee system should enable users of the BMC application to integrate efficient IT asset tracking management into the management and oversight of the business’s enterprise system as a whole. [end]
