  1. Pat McKenzie AQSimOctober, 2007 Strategies for accessing OLI technology

  2. Overview • Background • OLI mission and deployment • Market driving forces • OLI directions • UI strategies • Software delivery changes • Client empowerment No electrolyte application left behind!

  3. 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 lab In the oilfield In the environment

  4. 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

  5. Market driving forces • Expansion business cycle • Information flood • Faster pace of business • Increasingly, a global economy • Highly mobile work force • Approaching “experience gap” • Interest in electrolytes from non-traditional disciplines

  6. OLI responses • Expansion cycle • Information flood • Global economy • Mobile work force • Experience gap • New types of clients UI Strategies Software delivery changes Client empowerment

  7. 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

  8. 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

  9. Software delivery changes • Keyless software access • “Check out” copies from network source • Software downloads area • Media is always available upon request • Network pricing considers size as well as scope • “One project” subscription pricing is available

  10. Client empowerment • Application screening • Training • Turnkey leases • Application consulting • Resources  Services from OLI Sales Partners, supported by OLI

  11. Application screening • Determine feasibility • Can OLI cover my chemistry? • Can OLI address my process? • Determine optimal solution • Which software package? • Determine optimal access • Which type of lease? • Consulting instead? Available from OLI Sales Partners

  12. Training • Training 6x a year at OLI • Self-guided training manuals • Continuing key-city seminars • 2008 : Calgary + EU • Specialized courses • 2008 : Intermediate electrolyte modeling • Chemistry in brine production (AQSim) • MSE Regression • Web training available

  13. Turnkey leases • Case created for client • Experienced electrolyte simulation experts • Questions on setup • Review of results • Purchase of a short- (or long-) term lease • Ability to run “what-if” scenarios • Ability to use program features to analyze results

  14. Application consulting • Case setup to your specifications • Translation of your information to OLI input • Explanation of results • Q/A on findings • What-if scenarios added for complete investigation • Presentation of results • In MS Excel • As summary or detailed reports • No client software access is needed

  15. Resources • Support website support.olisystems.com • Knowledge base • Tips • Web meetings • Example applications • Pre-made • Custom, by request • Online Resource library (media available upon request) • Technical support available to all clients • Telephone and email • Sales partner assistance

  16. Questions? Thanks for your attention!
