Extend Microsoft System Center solutions with Athena

Odyssey Software and Microsoft have worked together to make the combination of Athena with System Center Configuration Manager 2007, or Systems Management Server 2003 the most comprehensive and powerful solution for managing mobile devices remotely over wireless networks.

Athena integrates directly with Configuration Manager 2007 and Systems Management Server 2003 to leverage their infrastructure. All Athena features are exposed directly from the System Center administrator condole.
