IOM selected as Microsoft industry partner of the year
September 2011
News
Invensys Operations Management (IOM) has been named Microsoft Global Enterprise Partner of the Year in the category Alliance ISV Industry. The award recognises IOM for excellence and innovation in using Microsoft-based solutions to help its manufacturing and infrastructure management customers achieve operational excellence.
“In today’s manufacturing world, integrating business and operations data in real-time is important to achieving production and profitability goals,” said Simon Witts, corporate vice president, Enterprise & Partner Group, Microsoft. “IOpM’s solutions, including its InFusion Enterprise Control System, use Microsoft.NET and other Microsoft technology to improve productivity, asset performance, customer response times, inventory velocity, emissions management and many other aspects of its clients’ operations. We are pleased to recognise them as a Microsoft Global Enterprise Partner of the Year.”
“You cannot really manage and optimise your operations and achieve top profitability until you connect your business strategy to your production execution,” said Sudipta Bhattacharya, president and chief executive officer, IOM. “In most plants, the production floor is not connected to the rest of the enterprise and that gap is where much of the value is lost. Our solutions, using Microsoft technology, link corporate goals like environment and sustainability with supply chain targets and production metrics. Consolidating data for planning, scheduling, production and other operations management tasks on a single platform allows everyone at every level of the enterprise to see and understand how their decisions impact profitability and productivity in real-time. And that leads to faster, smarter choices.
“Manufacturing operations are becoming more complex and demanding and executives, plant managers and even operators expect their systems and technology to do more. What they really need is to stop executing their business, supply chain and production strategies independently. That would allow personnel to access and act on real-time operating and performance information.”
