All the data in a company can be stored in a structured manner, from hard disks, computers, and printers to routers, UPSes, and alarm systems. Powerful querying and PDF report generation, plugin support, a high level of customization, and very clean code make DMO a very powerful tool. License: GNU General Public License (GPL) Changes: Small bugfixes and a database change were made. There was a packaging error in release 2.2beta, which this release corrects. Alternatively, this error can be corrected in the old release by applying a database change and replacing the invalid file, DMO_definition.php.
