WebNMS Forays into the Machine-to-Machine Solutions Space with the Launch of ATM Site Manager
Helps remotely monitor ATMs, increase profitability and decrease maintenance cost: Product developed from Chennai for the Global Banking Industry

Chennai, Tamil Nadu, India, Wednesday, November 28, 2012 -- (Business Wire India) -- WebNMS, a division of Zoho Corp. and a leading global provider of network and element management solutions, today announced its foray into the Machine-to-Machine (M2M) solutions space with the launch of ATM Site Manager, a revolutionary M2M product for ATMs, developed from Chennai for the global banking industry.

Machine-to-machine (M2M) technologies promise a future where machines will now be connected through the internet and will actively communicate with each other, transmitting vital data to a central location. Each device must be equipped with a communication module or a sensor for data collection. The data generated from this communication allow enterprises to gain actionable insights and the two-way communication between machines eliminates the need for human intervention in many routine service operations.

According to a research report from the analyst firm Berg Insight: The global number of wireless M2M connections is forecasted to grow at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 27.2% to reach 359.3 million in 2016.

According to 6Wresearch, in a report titled India Machine to Machine (M2M) Modules Market (2011-2016): The Indian M2M solutions market is expected to reach $98.38 million by 2016 with a (CAGR) of 33.81% from 2011-2016.
