SAN LEANDRO, Calif.,

-- OSIsoft LLC, a global leader in operational intelligence,
unveiled a Value Added Reseller (VAR) Program today to accelerate
the development of solutions for digital transformation and the
Industrial Internet of Things.
Under the program, qualifying resellers will be able to combine
their technology and services with the PI System OSIsoft to create
solutions for managing or optimizing operations at utilities, oil
refineries, manufacturing plants and other industrial facilities.
The VAR program is open to existing OSIsoft system integrators and
technology or Independent Software Vendor (ISV) partners.
The announcement was made at PI World, taking place in
Barcelona, Spain this week.
Approved VARs in the program can also sell the PI System on a
subscription basis with their own solution and services in defined
industries or territories. OSIsoft will begin working with Latin
American system integrators ECN, ATIsoft and LYNX - additional VARs
in Europe and Asia will be announced in the coming
months.
"For ATIsoft, the VAR program represents a new framework to
generate purpose-built solutions for our customers, now under a
subscription model. This program has provided us with the
opportunity and the tools to approach the market in a new and
innovative ways," said Alfonso Dávila, CEO of ATIsoft, a
participating VAR.
The VAR program is an extension of OSIsoft Partner EcoSphere,
OSIsoft's marketplace for solutions, technologies and services that
leverage the power of PI System. Over 200 partners, from Fortune
500 hardware manufacturers to start-ups, participate in EcoSphere
with offerings ranging from advanced analytics to strategies for
IIoT deployment.
"We're at the start of a massive wave of innovation in the
industrial economy. The idea behind the VAR Program is to give
select partners the tools and programs they need to develop
solutions for vertical markets, customer segments or geographies,"
said Mary McDonald, Vice President
Global Channel and Strategic Partners at OSIsoft. "We want to fuel
their creativity by allowing them to more easily integrate the PI
System into their products and business strategies to serve our
mutual customers."

relationship between different variables.
