Mentor Engineering Releases XMobile Manager 3.0

26 January 2010, 11:23am

CALGARY, AB - January 26, 2010 - Mentor Engineering announces that the latest version of XMobile Manager (XMM) has passed the high standards of compatibility, reliability and performance of the Windows 7 operating system. XMM is now "Compatible with Windows 7."

XMM remotely programs, updates, and manages software running on Mentor's in-vehicle computer, Mentor Ranger®. It also tracks the current software version of each vehicle. This replaces the time-consuming and costly task of physically updating each vehicle's device individually.

Only "Compatible with Windows 7" software and devices have passed Microsoft Corp.-designed tests for compatibility and reliability on PCs running the Windows 7 operating system. "Compatible with Windows 7" products install without worry and run reliably with Windows 7.

XMM 3.0 features an improved user interface (UI), with elements such as the Windows 7 ribbon lending a fresh, clean look and improved functionality. Other enhancements include a better reporting structure: clients can access a greater range of analytic information, including the total data usage of XMM for specific mobile units.

Also featured in the latest version of XMM is its ability for multiple users to run multiple instances of XMobile Manager from a single server. This allows for faster upgrades and data transfers, and provides better support for multiple XMM clients and large fleets.

"By working with Microsoft, we feel confident that the latest version of XMM will offer our clients enhanced functionality and significant business value," says Mike Koebel, VP Sales and Business Development at Mentor. "With XMM passing Microsoft-designed tests for compatibility and reliability with Windows 7, it provides Mentor a strong foundation for development in the future."
