"Wonderware is committed to promoting open technologies like PROFIBUS and OPC because the extended connectivity provided by these technologies greatly benefits Wonderware customers and the industry overall," Black said.With his appointment to the PTO board, Black will be taking over for his Wonderware colleague, Scott Kiser, who is global director of Applications Consulting Services, focused on ArchestrA technology. Kiser served on the PTO board from 1998 to 2004. "The dedication, experience and expertise Scott brought to PTO will be missed, but Tim Black brings equally impressive experience to this position," said Mike Bryant, executive director of the PTO.
