4Sight’s Operational Technologies Automation Division was named AVEVA Select Southern Africa Partner of the Year at the recent X-Change User Conference, hosted by
IS3 - Industry Software Solutions and Support. This annual event gathers IS3 customers from southern Africa, East Africa and West Africa, and serves as a focal point for all of them to gain insight into how they can create the industrial ecosystem of the future using AVEVA’s software, enabling them to design better, and operate and optimise efficiently.
Deryn Browning, head of Sales: International at IS notes, “4Sight is the partner that has shown the most commitment towards pushing technology to its limits in the quest to service customers better and embody AVEVA’s latest thinking in the operations control space. AVEVA has become the largest purveyor of industrial software in the world, trusted by 90% of industrial companies because it develops software that helps them become more efficient and sustainable. However, we cannot help customers achieve and realise the full value that AVEVA can offer without our partners. 4Sight won the award due to its investment in expanding the range of AVEVA solutions it can implement, among them value chain optimisation, predictive analytics and AVEVA PI. 4Sight has a uniquely broad portfolio of domain skills within the group to take these solutions to the next level.”
Danie Badenhorst, MD of the Asset Automation Division at 4Sight, says: “AVEVA’s software is a world leader, and we have invested significantly in our people to ensure they have the skills needed to deliver AVEVA solutions of maximum value to our customers. We look forward to continuing our journey with IS3 and AVEVA by developing new solutions that add even more value to our customers, and that showcase what is possible when combining our industry expertise with their solid software foundation.”
