The selected SI's have undergone a detailed business process assessment and have been certified for several years on their expertise in implementing Wonderware technology for their customers. They have been identified as providing comprehensive software solutions that are designed to increase customer efficiency, reduce costs and maximize customer profits.

Richard Stapleton, Industrial Solutions Manager, ONG Automation, "This endorsement provides full recognition of our use of advanced Wonderware technology which has delivered many benefits to our customers and also in our own company's continuous development.

Many of our engineers are fully certified on the use of Wonderware's technology and our customers see this as a tangible differentiator." Richard went on the say that the company was keen to develop broader relationships with Invensys and thereby extend the company's scope of deliverable solutions, with emphasis upon ‘high end' MES solutions and the particular requirements of key industries.
