Mr.Vaupotic, I appreciate your view and am glad you had a good experience. But as a = small Pulp Mill in this big world I was hoping for something more = Concrete and less marketing. As far as "think of it as a tool or = strategy or whatever-you-call-it which can help your enterprise unify = the access to each and every resource you use in the company" I thought = we already had one of these "Frame works" it was called "Archestra". We = have the plans I hope it's time to build the house before we start = talking about the next new house.

Regarding the InFusion ECS I must say I am quite enthusiastic about it. = But so I have been about many things in the past. :) I was attending a meeting yesterday where I got some "first-hand" info = on it. Mr. Alain Ginguene of Invensys was presenting InFusion ECS so I = can only agree with was Alex wrote earlier: think of it as a tool or = strategy or whatever-you-call-it which can help your enterprise unify = the access to each and every resource you use in the company. It = actually is an extension of your existing DCS, SIS, .... system and = addresses the problems which we all have today: communication betwen = different parts of your business. We all have some kind of ECS already installed in our plants. One = customer of mine for example already uses PDAs to monitor the equipment = use - utilization and availability. This will in ECS be integrated by = means of Asset Performance Management (APM). Another customer views data = on the web via our own application. Now the InFusion Remote View will = take over. There are many examples similar to this in your everyday use. But with all of this new products coming in the following years (yes, = years) we still must solve existing problems today. That means no one = should stop the development on current projects. Keep on working, = everyone! If InFusion ECS turns out to be actually usable, it will be = very easy to switch to it. Till that moment stay with your proven = solution and sleep tight.
