EAM software consulting and implementation partnerships strengthen Invensys presence in Latin America



Invensys Process Systems has announced that two Latin American software consulting and implementation partners will continue to help sell and service its Avantis Enterprise Asset Management software in Latin America. Fundacion GCM, headquartered in Mexico, and Insyss, headquartered in Guatemala, will provide local implementation, training and support for all Avantis asset management products.


“Both Fundacion GCM and Insyss have extensive experience in helping Latin American companies to improve efficiency and profitability of process operations in such industries as food and beverage, chemical, pharmaceutical, manufacturing and pulp and paper, and we are pleased to be able to provide them software and tools that will help them serve their markets even better,” said Neil Cooper, general manager of the Avantis unit of Invensys Process Systems. “


Invensys continues to support the partners as part of the Avantis Global Reach initiative, which is designed to ensure that Invensys can deliver the most cost effective asset management solution to any customer, anywhere in the world.


The companies will sell and implement the complete Avantis asset management solution (www.avantis.net). This includes enterprise asset management, condition monitoring and management, and business intelligence solutions that improve resource productivity by driving down operating costs, minimizing the risk of unplanned downtime, and maximizing financial return on capital assets.


Fundacion GCM (www.gcm.com.mx) provides business and software technology consulting services and will represent Avantis throughout Mexico. Founded in 1988, Fundacion GCM specializes in improving process efficiency and profitability of companies in the food and beverage, chemical, and pharmaceutical industries.


“Our expertise is working with companies to maximize resources and productivity, which is a perfect fit with Invensys. The Avantis EAM software offers a proven system to significantly improve asset performance and reliability in just about any company. And the scalability to meet customers’ changing needs provides a long-term solution for our diverse range of customers,” says Héctor Rivera, consulting manager, Fundacion GCM.


Insyss (www.insyss.com) offers business consulting services and works with companies to implement asset management solutions that integrate process and production with enterprise information systems. With a strong customer base in the food and beverage, chemical, pharmaceutical, energy, metals and mining, and manufacturing industries, Insyss represents Avantis throughout Central America and the Caribbean. Most recently Insyss made the first successful implementation of Avantis.DSS (Decision Support System) in Latin America (Costa Rica).
“Since partnering with Invensys, we have worked with customers to improve their operations with a solid asset management system. Customers are finding the Avantis EAM solution backed by certified consultants is the winning combination for optimizing assets, which gives them a competitive edge. We are looking forward to continuing to build on this win-win-win situation for our customers, Insyss and Invensys,” says Marco A. Rosales, general manager, Insyss.


The Latin American partnerships are the most recent development in the Avantis Global Reach initiative. The program enables Avantis to provide comprehensive customer service worldwide, while realizing the business opportunities in emerging markets. For more than 20 years, customers throughout the world have relied on Avantis enterprise asset management (EAM) solutions to improve resource productivity by driving down operating costs, minimizing the risk of unplanned downtime, and maximizing financial return on capital assets.
