Industrial Software Market Leaders Introduce 'Performance Intelligence' to create Industrial Software and Data Leadership
LONDON and SAN LEANDRO, Calif., March 22, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- AVEVA, a global leader in engineering and industrial software, has joined forces with OSIsoft to meet the expanding information management needs of industrial companies and accelerate their digital transformation. The combined portfolio brings OSIsoft's world-class data management together with AVEVA's leading industrial software to unlock Performance Intelligence.
Providing greater operational agility and resilience, Performance Intelligence connects information and artificial intelligence (AI) with human insight, to enable faster and more accurate decision making, helping industries boost sustainability. By pairing the trusted capabilities of OSIsoft's PI System with the leading industrial software of AVEVA, Performance Intelligence gives the people behind essential processes the rich, reliable data they need to better measure and understand the entire industrial lifecycle. Areas where Performance Intelligence is likely to have the most impact will include organizational productivity, operational agility, and sustainability.
The global big data and analytics market is growing exponentially and projected to be worth $274 billion by 2022.
