December 1, 2000 - Progressive Software becomes
the 1st Wonderware "Certified" Systems Integrator.
|
|
Similar to Microsoft's MSCE program, the Wonderware Systems Integrator Program requires that individual engineers successfully complete rigorous testing for each product in the FactorySuite. Successful completion of the product test results in certification of that particular engineer for that product. The Wonderware program requires that a minimum of two (2) engineers at the company have successfully completed the certification testing in order for the company to qualify under the program. Progressive Software takes this one step further, requiring that every engineer take and pass a product test every six (6) months. Every engineer at PS2 is certified in at least one (1) of the FactorySuite Products. |
