WebLink continues Datastream's strategy to provide remote access capability to MP2 customers. Remote access products encourage increased communication between maintenance and other critical areas of production such as operations and purchasing. With more employees linked to MP2, the maintenance department is able to provide better service to internal customers. At the same time, the Internet technologies of WebLink provide lower cost of ownership because more employees get access to MP2 without having to upgrade their PCs.
Companies see a significant reduction in internal maintenance upgrade costs.
Designed with ActiveX components, WebLink is the first step toward a complete line of 100 percent Web-enabled Datastream software.
