Customers that leverage this integration can extract greater value from their Siebel CRM investment by leveraging asset intelligence to drive service transformation.

Axeda ServiceLink integration with Oracle’s Siebel CRM enables customers to connect asset intelligence directly into enterprise systems and helps ensure complete and accurate information across the service lifecycle. Real-time asset intelligence can be used to automate business processes, eliminate error-prone tasks, collect real-time data for pay-per-use billing models, and increase the overall effectiveness and responsiveness of service and supply chains.
