Invensys, a focused supplier of state-of-the-art industrial software, systems and control equipment to the world’s major industries, has created a first-in-kind alliance with Callisto Integration, a global leader in manufacturing consulting and systems integration. Callisto was formed in 2012 through a merger of Aseco Integrated Systems and Progressive Software Solutions, both award-winning Invensys endorsed system integrators since the program’s inception in 2009.
Through the alliance, Invensys and Callisto will operate as a seamless services organization optimized for project design and delivery, providing customers in the food, beverage and consumer packaged goods industries with a scalable team and extended solutions capability, leveraging sustainable, standardized solution sets while maintaining a low total cost of ownership for customers.
“Our North America clients want to partner with a provider that can deliver the best software, solutions and services, backed by industry-leading domain expertise,” said Rashesh Mody, senior vice president, software services and support, Invensys. “To remain competitive, our customers need a cost-effective implementation plan that delivers maximum value in the shortest possible time. Our alliance with Callisto will do just that.”
As far as additional alliances are concerned, “Callisto is among the first partner to meet our stringent criteria for this level of alliance, and we are hopeful that other partners will soon follow suit,” Mody said.
“Callisto Integration has always provided high-quality solutions based exclusively on the Invensys suite of advanced applications,” added Tim Fief, vice president of sales, Callisto Integration. “This alliance formally commits our relationship and further aligns our solutions to Invensys’ future roadmap and strategy to help our customers achieve real-time operational excellence.”
