Following up on Rockwell's OSIsoft alliance announcement last week, Emerson had one of their own this morning:
Process automation leader Emerson Process Management and OSIsoft, Inc. the leader in performance management software, today announced continuation of their global value added reseller agreement of the last three years. Emerson will continue to incorporate OSIsoft's PI System into its automation projects that use PlantWeb digital automation architecture and services to improve plant productivity and optimization across all processing industries.
OSIsoft is a key ally of Emerson in providing enterprise-wide control integration solutions. The alliance of the two companies has included joint product development, and resulted in integration of more than 7,000 of Emerson's DeltaV digital automation systems with the OSIsoft Real-time Performance Management Platform (RtPM). The resulting solution crosses IT and process boundaries to incorporate and display operational information for timely analysis and the ability to make critical, informed, and profitable decisions.
Emerson Process Management maintains OSIsoft's highest Platinum-level VAR status due to its worldwide success in delivering the value of real-time information through its automation management projects.
Pat Kennedy at OSIsoft must be thinking, "It's nice to be king."
