Wonderware will take advantage of new capabilities in Microsoft SQL Server 2005, including enhanced scalability, analysis services which support online analytical processing and data mining and developer productivity from CLR, a new Common Language Routine feature that offers a richer programming environment enabling customers to use C#, VisualBasic.NET and other programming languages and tools to create custom applications.

Wonderware IndustrialSQL Server and other production and performance management applications are based on a modular, sustainable architecture, which benefits customers by enabling them to take an incremental approach to plant-improvement initiatives.

Wonderware's off-the-shelf products, leveraging ArchestrA technology and the latest Microsoft productivity tools, greatly assist customers to effectively manage plant operations.

These tools help users better analyse plant data, increase plant productivity, manage, analyse and report on essential plant data, conduct statistical process control analysis and increase overall plant efficiency in real time.

"The ability to monitor and fine-tune plant performance in real time is giving companies the means to improve plant productivity and efficiency, directly benefiting a plant's bottom line", said Rashesh Mody, Wonderware's Chief Technology Officer.

"Wonderware has worked closely with Microsoft on this new product release and we are confident that SQL Server 2005 offers a comprehensive range of high-availability functionality in the plant data historian market".

"It also will provide a significant competitive advantage for Wonderware and its customers, especially in the areas of increased scalability and underlying performance enhancements".

Through sales of its IndustrialSQL Server, Industrial Application Server and other server-based products, Wonderware has an installed global base of more than 20,000 SQL servers in the plant floor arena and can be considered a strong industry partner for SQL Server 2005.

"We are confident that our work with Wonderware will provide our mutual customers with the products they need to better run their businesses", said Ilya Bukshteyn, Director of Product Management for SQL Server at Microsoft Corp.

Wonderware products will support SQL Server 2005 within 90 days, and "will continue to be committed to supporting the evolution of Microsoft's SQL Server technology", Mody said.

In particular, Wonderware participated as a "Silver Sponsor" at Microsoft's official SQL Server 2005 launch event in San Francisco, which was dedicated to providing technical education for developers and database administrators, and which featured personal interaction with industry experts.
