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
