CygNet Software & eLynx Technologies Join Forces to Service the Hosted Oil & Gas Application Market
SAN LUIS OBISPO, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Feb. 9, 2005--CygNet Software, Inc. and eLynx Technologies today announced the signing of an agreement under which eLynx will deploy CygNet's ETM(TM) software to host process control application services for the oil and gas industries via the Internet, corporate intranets or private network connections.
"We're delighted to establish this relationship with eLynx because they are the leading application service provider (ASP) in the oil and gas market, providing remote management of customer well and pipeline assets at the enterprise level via applications hosted at their headquarters facilities," said Joe Cusimano, CygNet Vice President of Sales and Marketing. "They provide real-time data collection, production reporting, equipment monitoring and alarming, and process control applications -- all accessible remotely for monitoring a single point or thousands of points. Since these applications are provided as services, eLynx can easily tailor them to supply customers with only those features they need for their specific requirements.
"The bottom line for eLynx customers is that they don't need any special hardware or software or any additional staff," Cusimano explained. "Using CygNet ETM as an application service tool gives them the greatest flexibility to produce more gas, operate by exception, reduce operating costs and increase compressor and well run-times as needed -- all with instant visibility from anywhere the customer operates."
"We're pleased with this agreement because CygNet software is ideal for use in hosting and managing application services -- it's simply the highest performance and most scalable real-time data management software in the industrial marketplace," said Doug Redmond, eLynx Vice President of Product Development. "ETM allows us to integrate readily with a wide variety existing field controllers and flow computers, which greatly simplifies the solutions we can provide our clients who inherit disparate legacy automation systems through acquisition. This integration of CygNet ETM technology with our back-end is another example of how we seek out tools that allow us to be a leading automation solution provider in the oil and gas industry."
CygNet ETM consists of a powerful set of integrated host and client software applications that meet enterprise-wide needs for data acquisition, process control, data delivery and data archiving. The ETM SCADA server communicates with field devices and other host computer systems to acquire data, process the information, manage configuration, transmit notifications and provide supervisory control. It is this engine that will source data to the eLynx Framework, which is the industry's leading ASP well-monitoring application. Using the eLynx Framework, clients can analyze their operations at all levels, ranging from summary views of entire operating areas down to individual wells, with specialized screens, reports and trends that are the result of years of collaborative development with more than 100 clients. Additionally, eLynx's alarming service provides tremendous value to their clients by alerting them of critical operating issues in time for the client to prevent significant environmental or financial damage.
