Top 10 Reasons to get Certified within the Invensys Partner Ecosystem
When
industrial organizations evaluate potential solution providers for their
automation projects, they must carefully weigh the technical capabilities of
the firms being considered. They recognize that not all partners are equal.
Some provide better services than others; some have more technical expertise.
Moreover, these companies benefit from using an objective measurement for
evaluating potential System Integrators (SIs), Value-added Resellers (VARs) and
Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs) for their projects.
Certification
programs offer an objective, quantitative means for measuring and rewarding the
technical skills of the solution providers who implement complex systems using
today’s advanced technologies. Such programs enable industrial organizations to
select the right partner for the right project. They also give partner companies
a concrete methodology for fostering the talent and expertise of their
application developers.
Certification within the Invensys Partner Ecosystem gives
industrial and manufacturing companies using Wonderware industrial automation
and information software solutions the peace of mind that the solution providers
with whom they collaborate on projects know how to get the most functionality
and capabilities from Wonderware software. On the other side of the coin, partners
who enroll in the Invensys Partner Ecosystem get access to customers who rely
on Wonderware software: the largest installed base in the industry. ( over 700,000
licenses)

In one post, Cyril
Perducat, “Building a company greater than the sum of its parts”
concludes with:
“Schneider Electric and Invensys expect to
realize accelerated growth through the synergies and opportunities born from
stronger leadership in integrated industrial automation, software and energy
management segments. This means:
- More global coverage to be closer to customer needs
- More offers, solutions and services increasing the value we offer

Situational Awareness Library with Symbol Wizards - a closer look
The Situational Awareness Library with
Symbol Wizards that is build in the
InTouch 2014, makes it easy for application developers to create highly
intuitive visual content and custom applications specific to an event. Situational
Awareness Library of Symbols fully leverages the new Alarm Borders, Element
Styles, Symbol Wizards, and the Animations described below. In addition, the
Symbols can be customized to meet any customer specific needs or standards. For
example, use a library Symbol to immediately accomplish 80% of what you need,
then customize the remaining 20%, saving engineering time and capitalizing on
Invensys™ symbol design best practices.

Situational Awareness - a Benefit not a Feature
Wonderware InTouch 2014, Wonderware System Platform 2014
and Wonderware Historian 2014 have been released, and they are products, which
we hope are going to shake up the industry. For too long, emphasis has been
placed on making HMI graphics pretty and vibrant, which is nice but has not
advanced the science of efficient and effective HMI design very much. What
users of our systems really need, is the ability to more quickly and reliably
spot when something is not right or when a problem is about to occur – that’s
what we call situational awareness. What we have put in “the box” is a rich set
of capabilities and features that help our users employ best practices for HMI
design to give them that valuable situational awareness. It’s not just a completely
new way of thinking about HMI graphics; it’s a rich set of smart tools for
building them, so that non-experts can assemble and maintain best practice HMI
displays more quickly, more easily and with greater consistency than ever
before.
