SMART DCM

DCM Pro (data circuit management solution)

 is a data circuit management solution to control and manage a multi-branch Enterprise / Company data connectivity
Data Circuits are identified as a connection between 2 or More points terminated by a router, Such as Leased Line, Fiber Optics, Microwave Link, MPLS

Suggest reduced bandwidth plan and saving cost based on the maximum bandwidth usage of each branch

Better Decision-Making to upgrade or downgrade bandwidth of a branch

Better Matching between the paid invoice vs the actual configured bandwidth of the router

Better Forecasting by previewing a budgetary invoice for the upcoming cycle

Better reconciliation between the provider and DCM Pro invoices

Better Monitoring by tracking and follow up requests sent to the provider for creation, upgrade, downgrade and cancellation of DCs

Geolocation Dashboard to visualize Data Circuits based on different Geographic locations

Able to connect to any Routers brand using SSH or SNMP (v2, v3)

Data Circuit bandwidth downtime notification by email based on configured consecutive frequency

Automatic configuration backup of the Data Circuits

Sign-in using OTP, sent via E-mail or SMS

Provided bandwidth vs bandwidth usage dashboard

Data Utility feature to import/update bulk Data Circuits from Excel file
