| Software Toolbox joins Siemens Premium Add-on Program | ||

September 28, 2009 - Software Toolbox has been selected by Siemens AG to participate in its Premium Add-on Program. The program is designed to expand customer awareness of third-party industrial automation software solutions that can be used to enhance Siemens Simatic WinCC and WinCC flexible products. "The Siemens catalog is the key product resource for sales, applications engineers and customers," said John Weber, president of Software Toolbox Inc. "It's where everyone goes to look for approved third-party products for use with Siemens software." To qualify for the Premium Add-on Program, products must be determined by Siemens to be important application- and sector-specific add-on products that supplement WinCC. Siemens conducts independent tests of the third-party software to ensure product compatibility with SIMATIC WinCC. Solution providers whose products pass all compatibility tests are invited to list their products in the Siemens Premium Add-ons for SIMATIC WinCC flexible and WinCC print and online catalogs. As part of the program, Siemens product technical support accepts calls for listed products, connects customers with the solution partners and tracks the resolution of issues. "The added level of assurance provided by Siemens is significant," Weber said. "Since Siemens has focused a magnifying glass on all third-party products listed in its catalog, customers benefit from processes and procedures designed to handle any issue. This significantly lowers the customer risk for using an approved third-party product with SIMATIC WinCC flexible and WinCC. Software Toolbox products listed in the Siemens catalog include TOP Server and TOP Server UCON. Both products are powered by Kepware automation communications technology through Software Toolbox's 14-year partnership with Kepware. |
