About DUDM

DUDM - Desktop Utility Delivery Model - is a breakthrough technology developed by Novatium. DUDM simplifies computing for the user and moves all complexities of using a computer to the administrator at the server end.

This technology helps determine the requirements of the users and provides them with exactly what they require – their specific desktop and applications. The users need to pay only for the service they use. Thus they get the benefits of a PC without the hassles of maintenance, software upgrades, and data security – all this at an affordable price.

With a small upfront investment and a nominal monthly payment you get a computing system loaded with licensed software and Telco-grade hardware, Internet access, educational packages, offline games, and much more.
