5. It’s About Reducing Engineering + Startup Time and Saving Money
Why TOP Server?
Customer’s Top 4 Reasons:
Broad Choice of Drivers
SINGLE Interface into your systems
Scalability
Support & Customer Commitment
Other reasons
Functionality
Reliability
Flexibility
Diagnostics
Documentation
Commitment to Standards
People use TOP Server for a variety of reasons, often ones that are unique to their own business or technical requirements. Lets explore some of the more popular ones:
First, people often choose TOP Server because we are the only driver available. But that doesn’t mean you get an inferior solution just because it’s the only choice you have, which brings me to the other reasons.
Probably the most popular reason people choose TOP Server is the depth of functionality found in the drivers. Rather than talk about that subject, I’m going to show you in a few minutes.
In everyone’s top 3 reasons to use top server, we always find “it’s about your people, and your support – it’s second to none”. Our business focus is to be a reliable partner. Some of you I’ve met on prior trips here, and if you’ve worked with us, you probably know that you can count on us. We do whatever we can to not let time zone differences and distance get in the way of helping you. With the first class team at Futuristix here locally as our eyes and ears, and the diagnostic and support tools I’m going to show you in a moment, we’re able to make sure you are well taken care of.
Our flexibility and ability to rapidly adapt to change is a winner for many users. I”ll show you some examples of that in a moment.
Users are always telling us our documentation and application notes are great tools. On our demo CDs in your delegate packets, you’ll find an installation of a demo version of TOP Server, but you’ll also find a number of videos and application notes that guide you through the use of TOP Server with Wonderware InTouch, InSQL, and Industrial Application Server.
All in all, I believe our installed base of customers in over 60 countries around the world who have trusted us with their communications infrastructure and have found our products and support saved them time and money in design and startup speak volumes.
