AI Teams with EPS Custom Software For Pipeline Compliance System Conversion
AUSTIN, TX; September 29th, 2009: American Innovations’ Field Data Division (FDD), leading provider of products and services for pipeline industries, has announced that it is teaming with Houston-based EPS Custom Software Group (EPS)to migrate its Pipeline Compliance System Software (PCS) from Visual Fox® to the latest version of SQL/.NET. A Microsoft® Certified Partner, EPS employs highly respected senior developers who are known to their peers for their level of technical excellence and is one of a handful of companies with both a FoxPro and SQL/.NET knowledge base.
PCS is the industry leader in database management for required and recommended inspection of pipeline assets. It is a completely scale-able, modular application for capturing, managing and analyzing inspection, maintenance, compliance and operational data for natural gas, hazardous liquids and other underground pipeline systems. PCS is used to plan work activities, ensure regulatory compliance, and as a method for integrating and correlating data to improve resource allocation and risk reduction decisions.
This project is a multi-million dollar investment for American Innovations. “Our partnership with EPS to complete the port demonstrates our commitment to ensuring that PCS is a state-of-the-art tool both technologically and operationally well into the future,” explained Rich Smalling, President of American Innovations. “It is important that our architecture is compatible with our clients systems, and working with a premier software firm will allow us to minimize the conversion timeline, as well as leverage their industry expertise.”
EPS has developed software for QUALCOMM, Philip Morris, NEC, Conoco Phillips, the Dow Corning Trust and many other leading firms, and has acquired the reputation of the “developer’s developer” in addition to publishing CODE magazine.
