It's Revolution Time in Software Land #SoftwareRevolution #Invensys #Wonderware #SimSci #Avantis #pauto

I've been tweeting all day at the Invensys Software User Group meeting at the Hilton Anatole in Dallas. Here is where Invensys talks about the leading edge changes they have been making in the leading HMI and Historian software, asset management software and the state of the art simulation product line.

I decided to reproduce my tweets (and a couple of my retweets) here. If you want to follow the conference on Twitter, search hashtag #SoftwareRevolution (and mind the capital letters).
