AlarmTilt! is a unified incident management solution for any critical technical or environmental systems that helps businesses to reduce operating costs and to increase the quality of service by reacting in the very early stage to arising problems.
It is designed to enable easy sending of alerts to mobile phones, PCs and PDAs.
The alerts are sent to site administrators and are easily manageable through a convenient online administration tool.
This allows coherent documentation, trace and log incidents.
Speaking about the integration, Prakash Marar, Director - Marketing, AKCP says: "I liked AlarmTilt!'s ease-of-use and it fits-in very well with our product portfolio.
Our clients don't need to change anything and can extend the features of the sensorProbe products easily.
Additionally, this tie-up also allows us to add further mobile applications to our product suite in the days to come.
I must say that both our companies have worked very hard to make this integration as smooth as possible".
Hubert Schumacher, CEO of M-Plify readily agrees.
Speaking about the tie-up, he says: "We are very proud to enter into this technology partnership with AKCP.
AKCP is the leader in the field of low-cost, environmental, security and power sensors for server rooms and other mission critical installations.
Their sensors are technologically ahead of the competition and the integration with our AlarmTilt! will only serve to build on the core competencies of two leaders.
We firmly believe that our products complement each other very well and optimally satisfy an expressed need of our customers".
As a result of this integration, AKCP has certified and will start recommending AlarmTilt! to its clients and established reseller network.
In addition, M-Plify will begin distributing the sensorProbe range in the Benelux region.
