Microsoft industry manager Charles Johnson said, ‘Our companies can now jointly address areas such as enterprise operations management with solutions that ensure optimization and automation of business processes through improved communication and collaboration delivered by Microsoft’s integrated platform.’

The alliance also includes joint marketing initiatives aimed at accelerating market awareness and acceptance of EOM solutions. These bridge the gap between ERP and the control systems (DCS/PLC) that manage plant processes. Aspen’s client portfolio includes BP, ChevronTexaco, ExxonMobil, Shell, and Total.
