Wired for management. A specification developed by Intel to improve the manageability of desktop, mobile, and server computers.

WfM technology is used in a client computer, in such components as circuitry, power supply, network adapter, and so on. Remote management application programs can use WfM technology to access a client computer and gather information about it, monitor its status, or change its operational state.
