IAnywhere has upgraded its software for managing PCs, laptops and other devices used by remote workers and will offer a new pricing scheme intended to cater to tighter IT spending budgets.

Called Manage Anywhere Studio Version 5, the product helps keep an inventory of devices being used by sales teams, telecommuters and other remote workers.

It tracks information such as which applications are installed and how much memory is available.

The package also can be used to repair devices remotely and push out new software.

With Version 5, due by the end of this month, iAnywhere has split the product into three functional areas so customers don't have to buy all of the software if they don't need it. The three components are Discovery Manager, which keeps a basic inventory of devices; Support Manager, for diagnosing problems and repairing systems remotely; and Systems Manager, used to push out software updates or enforce configurations.

Pricing varies depending on the platform being managed, but for Windows systems, Discovery Manager is priced at $15 per seat; Support Manager is $35 per seat and Systems Manager is $100 per seat.
