Siemens AS MES and Microsoft are pleased to invite you to the Live Meeting “Managing IT Assets in Manufacturing Operations: a Siemens and Microsoft Approach”. During this session you will have the opportunity to learn how SIMATIC IT Software Management Tool (SMT) extends the effectiveness of the Technical Support Team as they support SIMATIC IT customers and partners. This Live Meeting will be an exclusive occasion to learn how SMT provides a powerful way to manage multi-site environments in enterprise manufacturing. SMT was built on top of Microsoft System Center Configuration Manager (SCCM) technology leveraging most of the features it provides and extending them to fit SIMATIC IT customer requirements. As a result production and engineering personnel will be able to centrally manage and maintain SIMATIC IT deployments through the dedicated screens of SMT leveraging on the same SCCM infrastructure used by the central IT to manage the enterprise IT assets.
