February 4, 2009 - MatrikonOPC is proud to welcome Gil Automations into its MatrikonOPC Integrator Partner Program (MIP) as a Platinum Level Partner. As one of Africa’s top system integration companies, Gil Automations chose MatrikonOPC as its preferred supplier of OPC data connectivity solutions as part of their commitment to providing clients with superior solutions. “MatrikonOPC’s MIP program will further help us provide best in class services to our clients in Nigeria, Angola and across West Africa. By leveraging MatrikonOPC’s experience, technology and around the clock support, we hope to continually provide industrial solutions that are robust, easy to use and extremely cost effective,” said Lawal Gbolahan, CEO and VP of Gil Automations.
“MatrikonOPC is committed to working with integrators, helping them deliver superior OPC data connectivity solutions, minimize project risk, and maximize profitability. A win-win scenario for both the integrators and their end clients,” explained Sean Leonard, Vice President, OPC Products at Matrikon. The MatrikonOPC Integrator Program is specifically designed to take systems integrators to the next level by providing them with easy access to the tools, training, and support they require to secure bigger and better projects. “Systems Integrators don’t just work nine to five, and neither should their OPC technology vendor. Integrators need to know that they can access the products and the support they need when they need it.
That was a driving factor in our “complete support” vision when we created the MatrikonOPC Integrator Program. Integrators can get full OPC technical support in the design and implementation phases as well as purchase the software they need online. By joining the MatrikonOPC Integrator Program, integrators join a full team of professionals driven to help them succeed,” said Darek Kominek, MatrikonOPC Partner Programs Manager.
