Boalsburg, PA (PRWEB) February 22, 2006

Franzetta & Associates, Inc. has been appointed as a sales representative for the Professional Services division of Sony’s Broadcast and Business Solutions Company. Franzetta will help support the introduction of Sony’s innovative Machine-to-Machine (M2M) remote monitoring technology-based service solutions.

Sony M2M technology-based solutions allow companies to continually and cost-effectively monitor and manage the health and condition of the various components of production and other types of business systems. Components that comprise these systems, many of which are mission-critical, include machines, sensors and other devices, networks and environmental conditions. Sony’s solutions seek to optimize system performance through predictive, proactive and preemptive service made possible by innovations in remote monitoring, including the latest developments in “smart” wireless applications.

“We are very pleased to have Franzetta & Associates working with us,” said Tim Lindner, Manager of Sony Professional Services Sales, Marketing and Administration. “They have a proven track record of helping middle-market companies incorporate technology and innovative operating solutions to increase their efficiency and profits. Sony’s M2M solutions can help provide these types of companies with a cost-effective way to ensure that the systems vital to their operations are online and contributing to their profits.”

Chuck Franzetta, President of Franzetta & Associates, said, “Working with Sony gives us the capability to help our clients solve a key problem: how to make sure that their office, factory and warehouse systems, often in remote locations are all functioning correctly. It’s not possible to have people sitting and watching these complex systems around the clock, yet if one fails the cost to the company, in lost production or breached security, can be enormous. The Sony M2M technology is a practical, affordable way to safeguard against these failures or spot them as they happen, so the problem can be fixed quickly.”

Franzetta & Associates will be introducing the Sony M2M technology through professionals in central Pennsylvania, Chicago, Portland OR, Miami, Chattanooga, Louisville and Toronto.

Since 1981, Franzetta & Associates has assisted firms to enhance their production and supply chain performance, accelerating growth while reducing costs, with specific focus over the past decade on bringing those advantages to middle-market companies.

Chuck Franzetta has written about supply chain management for numerous leading publications, and spoken on the topic at many business symposiums and universities. As Director of Worldwide Distribution for Newsweek before establishing Franzetta & Associates, Chuck pioneered logistics outsourcing approaches. As General Manager for Flying Tigers, he developed inventory reduction and expedited transportation practices which have become industry standards.
