About OSIsoft

For almost 20 years, thousands of businesses have been empowered to manage performance with reliable software from OSIsoft. The RtPM Platform provides unmatched ability to help people capture, analyze, distribute and visualize real-time information for continuous process improvement.

Dr. J. Patrick Kennedy founded OSIsoft and began developing a software product called the PI System that people could use, configure and extend without the assistance of outside services. Still based on this core value, the technology evolved into the RtPM Platform, which includes the PI System, and is now a comprehensive software infrastructure that helps enterprises manage performance in real time.

OSIsoft embraces strategic software technologies including Web services, Microsoft’s .NET and SAP’s R/3. Product development incorporates standard technology that offers a migration path so the investment a customer makes in the RtPM Platform is preserved, even as technology and business evolves.

Over 10,000 sites in 81 countries use the PI System to acquire, assign context, analyze, distribute and visualize real-time information. PI Systems can be found in power plants, chemical facilities, pulp and paper mills, food and drug manufacturing plants, mining and materials facilities, network monitoring facilities, and even Team New Zealand’s Americas Cup boat. Whatever the size or application, all PI Systems provide the same dedication to accuracy, functionality and reliability.

The PI System

Osisoft’s revolutionary PI System turns volume operations data into a powerful, focused corporate asset. This advanced information management system acquires data from your plant or process, usually from automated control systems or other sources. Sophisticated processing tools transform that data into relevant intelligence that people can rely on to make timely decisions. Configurable, interactive displays deliver information wherever it’s needed. And PI stores a nearly infinite amount of data—at original resolution—virtually forever.

The PI System offers real-time process insight throughout the enterprise, saving costs, boosting productivity, averting mistakes, and supporting business decisions. PI is primarily used in process industries, but its flexibility, versatility and fast, economical deployment make it a valuable asset in any organization. More than 10,000 enterprises across a broad range of industries have now benefited from OSIsoft’s groundbreaking PI system.

Now OSIsoft takes enterprise information management to the next level with Real-time Performance Management (RtPM), the industry’s most sophisticated platform. RtPM’s event-driven, scalable management of the total business decision cycle drives informed decisions across all boundaries, And with its streamlined portal, RtPM enables intelligent collaboration never before achievable.
