Our Approach to M2M. The big-picture approach to business improvement. Unlike other machine-to-machine (M2M) companies that concentrate only on technology development, Isochron steps back to see how its technology fits into the larger picture of a business' specific challenges, strategies and long-term goals. Our priority isn’t just developing software, or even creating new technology solutions. Rather it’s understanding what is important to our customers, and how technology can best be applied to meet their needs.

Instead of developing solutions and then trying to match customers to them, we take the opposite approach— we identify a customers unique challenges’ and then tailor our solutions to address them. That’s not business as usual for most technology companies, but that’s how Isochron works. It’s the kind of thinking that has enabled the company to succeed with the VendCast solution designed especially for the vending industry, and the kind of thinking behind other solutions that we’re developing for companies in many industries that rely on remote machines.

Focus on flexibility. No two companies' issues and needs are ever exactly the same. This is why Isochron's M2M solutions focus on flexibility. By offering a broad range of development and communication choices, Isochron enables companies to get exactly the level of data monitoring and transmission that they need, without having to invest in more than they need.

• We provide a choice of methods for communicating with remote machines. In addition to supporting major communications standards, Isochron solutions provide the unique choice of using handheld devices to transmit data to company desktops, freeing companies from always having to use costly, commercial wireless networks for information delivery.
• We deliver more than raw data and don't leave it to the customer to digest the data. Based on our knowledge of a company's specific needs, we transform the data into valuable information that can be used to make better business decisions.
• We don't just make data more useful, we make it more manageable-by enabling users to track the results of their data-based decisions, evaluate the effectiveness of those decisions, and make adjustments accordingly.
• We build solutions on robust technology with the scalability to support hundreds of users and millions of data transactions a day.
• We give customers the option of hosting the service themselves, or having Isochron host it.
• We offer a range of mechanisms for collecting machine data, from using internal hardware with real-time data communications for high-demand machines, to collecting data periodically in less critical environments.

Uniquely comprehensive, flexible and practical, Isochron's M2M solutions provide an effective, cost-efficient, end-to-end approach to driving success for M2M companies in a broad range of industries.
