Impress Introduces Turnkey Integration Solution for Plants Running SAP PM

March 3, 2008

Waltham, MA - Impress Software, the leading provider of packaged integration applications, today announced the introduction of Impress Express PM, an affordable, turnkey solution for streamlining routine maintenance and plant turnarounds through the integration of SAP Plant Maintenance (PM) with project scheduling tools such as Microsoft Project and Primavera.    
 
Impress Express PM is a pre-configured integration application that enables Microsoft Project or Primavera schedulers to immediately download the latest work orders from SAP right to their scheduling tool. Critical information including operations, planned work, work centers, and work center capacity is transferred so work can be quickly prioritized and scheduled. Updated schedules, confirmations and even new operations are uploaded back to SAP, enabling planners to accurately plan for the next week. And when unplanned work arises, schedule breakers can be inserted into the master schedule so assignments and plans can be quickly adjusted.

"Impress Express PM incorporates a decade's worth of integration experience working with plant operators around the globe in industries such as Oil & Gas, Chemical and Utilities," said Warren Utt, President and CEO of Impress Software. "With Impress Express PM, similar organizations will be able to reduce operational costs through productivity gains, improve uptime through timely asset maintenance activities, and shrink backlogs though proactive management, better data integrity and visibility."

Impress Express PM is a fully supported and upgradeable solution that can be deployed in just four weeks.  So organizations can get up and running quickly without the downstream headaches typically associated with custom integration projects.
