Abstract
Systems, apparatuses, applications and methodologies are configured for a user to generate, based on a proposed model list, a proposed state analysis of a proposed fleet of devices, for a customer. By limiting the devices that can be added to the proposed fleet to those encompassed by the proposed model list, the objective of arriving at a proposal for the customer becomes a manageable task.
Claims19
A device marketing application configured to generate a proposed state analysis of a proposed fleet of devices for a customer, the device marketing application including one or more programs of instructions embodied in a non-transitory computer readable medium and executable by a computer to configure the computer to comprise:
- a registration module that includes a registration user interface to receive user selection of a device model from a system database, the registration module registering the selected device model amongst proposed device models maintained by the registration module;
- and
- a selection module that includes a selection user interface to display a proposed model list including the proposed device models registered by the registration module, and receive user selection of a proposed model from the displayed list of proposed device models and add a specified device of the selected model to the proposed fleet of devices for the proposed state analysis.
A method performed by a device marketing application including one or more programs of instructions embodied in a non-transitory computer readable medium and executed by a computer, the method comprising:
- providing a registration user interface to receive user selection of a device model from a system database;
- registering the selected device model amongst proposed device models;
- providing a selection user interface to display a proposed model list including the proposed device models, and to receive user selection of a proposed model from the displayed list of proposed device models;
- adding a specified device of the selected model to a proposed fleet of devices;
- and
- generating a proposed state analysis of the proposed fleet of devices.
