OVERVIEW
RMS Enterprise is a scalable client/server based software for IT and AV managers that provides remote management capabilities for AV assets and building systems. The rich web application offers a new widget-based dashboard with enhanced graphics and navigation including visual bar graphs, Hotlists, expanded device support - all to simplify operation, support and security.
