December 2001 SCADA/HMI

XLReporter from Sytech, a leading provider of automated report generation and data analysis software, has been accepted to Rockwell Automation's Encompass program and is referenced for use with Allen-Bradley and Rockwell software products.

XLReporter, proven in the marketplace since its introduction in April of 2000, has been widely deployed with applications involving RSView and RSLinx. These Rockwell software products benefit from the comfortable report building environment of Microsoft Excel, combined with XLReporter tools for tag browsing, data manipulation and complete, behind the scenes automation. XLReporter solves the need for reliable, robust and accurate reporting in applications ranging from automotive and biotech to water and wastewater. These applications all benefit from high quality reports delivered automatically via hardcopy, e-mail and web publishing.

"We are extremely proud to have XLReporter approved as an Encompass Referenced Product," says Roy Kok, VP of Sales and Marketing for SyTech. "We have worked hard to support Rockwell Automation customers with a quality automated reporting technology. This partnership shows the marketplace that we stand behind our products and work closely with Rockwell Automation."

"We are always looking for innovative products which add significant value to our automation solutions," says John Riess, Rockwell Automation Encompass Program Manager. "SyTech's XLReporter technology neatly addresses our customers' needs in the area of automated reporting, web publishing and report emailing. They are a valuable partner and a significant addition to our program."
