Invensys Process Systems, a global provider of comprehensive automation

form a strategic alliance and reseller relationship. Energy Solutions and
Invensys will collaborate to provide customers with intelligent solutions for
pipeline automation and optimization in the oil & gas transportation sector.
“We’re very excited about this collaboration with Energy Solutions. Our
companies have worked together informally for years and we feel that this
strategic alliance will allow us to continue to grow our partnership in a
direction that directly benefits customers of both companies,” said Michael
Chmilewski, VP SCADA & Pipeline Business of Invensys Process Systems. “ESI’s
technology is a perfect complement to the extensive portfolio of technologies
and services that Invensys already delivers to pipeline companies worldwide.”
This global relationship will include close integration of each company’s

evaluation of other areas of synergy. Invensys will be trained on the
PipelineStudio ®, PipelineManager® and PipelineTransporter ® products from
Energy Solutions. Energy Solutions will receive training on appropriate Foxboro,
SimSci-Esscor, and Wonderware products from Invensys.
"I think this alliance will be very beneficial to customers," said Felipe Borgli,
control room coordinator for TBG in Rio de Janeiro. "We've been using both
Energy Solutions and Invensys products together successfully for six years. The
products are a true compliment to each other and we anticipate this will make
working with these companies even easier in the future."
“This partnership just made a lot of sense. We already have customers using both
Energy Solutions’ and Invensys’ products together successfully. And we wanted to
be able to make it that much easier to bring a comprehensive solution to our
customers,” said Al Jacob, chief executive officer of Energy Solutions.
“Customers will see the benefit of this collaboration immediately.”
