Promotion provides organizations an extremely cost effective and low risk opportunity to move to a more comprehensive Enterprise Asset Management solution
BURLINGTON, ONTARIO, CANADA - March 13, 2006 - The Avantis unit of Invensys Process Systems today announced that it will expand its current North American Avantis.PRO enterprise asset management (EAM) software license trade-in offer to all other regions. For a limited time only, organizations that currently use a competitive EAM solution can trade in 50% of their existing EAM software seat licenses for Avantis.PRO licenses at no charge. This free license trade-in is coupled with an attractive fixed price implementation (including data migration), and a cost-effective support plan to provide a complete, low-risk solution.
"Due to the high degree of interest in the promotion in North America, we decided to allow customers around the world to also be able to take advantage of this offer, and we extended the promotion in North America by two months," said Neil Cooper, general manager of the Avantis unit of Invensys Process Systems. "We're finding that users these days expect a lot more from their EAM software. This attractive license trade-in offer provides asset-centric organizations that are experiencing inefficiencies and shortcomings with their current EAM solution, an opportunity to switch to Avantis cost-effectively, with a low risk, turnkey migration."
"Organizations are looking ahead to develop long-term asset management strategies to get a broad picture of their overall plant performance," added Cooper. "Our comprehensive EAM solution is designed to transform operational information into strategic asset intelligence, enabling organizations to make more informed business decisions on asset management."
For new customers to achieve the greatest benefit from their asset management implementation with the least possible disruption to their operations, Avantis employs the Rapid Implementation Methodology (InRIM(TM)). The InRIM implementation approach is structured and repeatable, and has proven success in migrating many customers from major EAM offerings with substantial performance improvements.
