OLI Mission

To develop software solutions based upon state-of-the-art technological developments in the areas of prediction of thermophysical properties and corrosion for electrolyte processes

In the plant

In the environment

In the lab

In the oilfield

Mission deployment

Keep the focus at OLI on ■ Technology development■ Parameter development■ Software development

Locate partner companies and agents■ Sales■ Training■ Applications consulting

… OLI mission will further the science …

... Sales partner missions will deliver the solution

UI strategiesPart I

Reliance on in-place software■ Interfaces are already learned■ Partners have become essential ◊ AspenTech◊ Honeywell◊ SimSci

And let’s all meet in MS Excel

UI StrategiesPart II

For any new interface work■ “Don’t make me think” UI upgrades

◊ Analyzers / next generation ◊ OLI Pro

■ Embody standard practices within programs◊ Scale Analyzer plans
