Wonderware Recognises 100th ArchestrA Certified System Integrator

Cheadle Royal, Cheshire, Dec. 06, 2007 -- Wonderware, a business unit of Invensys, today announced that its elite community of ArchestrA Certified System Integrators had reached a milestone of 100 companies with its induction of Tecnau Transport Division s.r.l. of Florence, Italy into its top tier of System Integrators. The event marks a critical point in the ability of Wonderware to deliver solutions using its revolutionary standards-based ArchestrA technology to end customers around the world.
Supporting the network of independent system integrator companies with the ArchestrA Certification program is a key factor in the ability of these firms to deliver completed solutions to its end-user customers.

The ArchestrA Certified firms are the 100 top firms who have proven technical ability with the products, delivered successful projects to customers and earned the backing and support of their regional Wonderware distributor. "This is a testimony to the accelerating adoption of ArchestrA technologies in the industrial marketplace, to the hard work and dedication of our world-class distributors who train and support our SI’s, and especially to the talent and skill of our global community of system integrators.” said Jay Jeffreys, marketing manager for Wonderware Solution Provider Programs

For the integration companies themselves, ArchestrA certification means increased visibility and marketing support, greater involvement in the Wonderware product development process, and enhanced credibility with their own and potential customers. According to Claudio Fiore, System Engineer for Tecnau Transport Division s.r.l., “ArchestrA technology enables even small teams to execute projects of huge scale. Now, with ArchestrA certification, Tecnau can offer the final customer the proven competence of Tecnau’s team, the excellence of the latest Wonderware products, and enhanced collaboration with the Wonderware technical team. And this delivers added value to the solutions supplied to our customers.”

Aldo Runcini, Solution Provider Manager for Europe, the Middle East, Africa (EMEA) and Asia Pacific with the Wonderware Strategic Sales organization, points out that “Achieving 100 ArchestrA Certified System Integrators represents an important Wonderware milestone. In one calendar year the Wonderware ArchestrA Certified SI community has doubled and this has been driven by two concurring factors: the market is rapidly embracing ArchestrA-based solutions, and the community of system integrators as well as an increasing number of large customers worldwide recognizes the value of ArchestrA certification. The fact that the 100th ArchestrA system integrator is located in the EMEA regions is significant: over the past year the Wonderware EMEA region has experienced explosive increase in the adoption rate of ArchestrA-based solutions and in a corresponding growth in new ArchestrA Certified System Integrators”.
