Test Resource Management can play a strategic role in helping companies manage not only the physical equipment across the organization but also the people who access this equipment. Their participation is necessary to make test equipment management work properly. Change the habits of those who use your equipment and drive lasting, positive change. The impact can be significant. Companies taking this approach are saving tens of millions of dollars, improving utilization by up to 400%, cutting test assets by 50% while equipping test engineers with the equipment they need faster and more easily than ever.
