Mansfield, MA -- August 23, 2004 - Axeda Systems Inc. (Nasdaq: XEDA), the world's leading provider of device relationship management (DRM) software and services, today announced that Axeda DRM has been expanded to include French, German, and Japanese languages.
The new languages included with Axeda DRM are selected via preferences in the system, or by using the locale set in the users browser. A single system is able to support multiple languages simultaneously. Since the system is fully internationalized, additional languages can be added based on customer requirements.
"With customer deployments in over 20 countries, the addition of new languages to DRM was a natural progression to better serve our customers with global service organizations," said Dale Calder, president and founder, Axeda Systems. "We provide our customers with the most advanced capabilities and will continue to enhance the Company's suite of products to meet the demands of Axeda's customers worldwide."
An additional capability in all of the Axeda Applications is the ability to support complete internationalization. All text within the product is stored in property files that can be easily translated into any language. Axeda DRM allows users to select the time zone for presentation of time and date values. The time and date format is also automatically set based on the users locale. All time values are stored internally in GMT, but are presented to the user according to their preference. Axeda DRM supports 65 standard international locales.
The Company's flagship product, the Axeda® DRM system helps manufacturing and service organizations increase revenue while lowering costs, by proactively monitoring and managing devices deployed at customer sites around the world. Axeda DRM is a highly scalable, field-proven, and comprehensive remote management solution that leverages its patented Firewall-Friendly™ technology to enable Machine-to-Machine (M2M) communication by utilizing the public Internet.
