Houston, TX -- August 18, 2006 -- Entessa, a leading supplier of real-time Enterprise Management Software for the Oil & Gas industry, today announced Release 3 of Synthesis™, its flagship software solution for the pipeline, terminal, and refining industries.

This newest release of Synthesis™ builds upon Entessa’s heritage of providing innovative technology solutions that help companies in the downstream oil and gas industry manage their operations more profitably. “Throughout our history as a company, we have continued to focus on providing value by solving real business problems. Our customers, and others who know us, look to Entessa for technology solutions that are more reliable, better built and more capable than what else is offered today. With this newest release we showed them that their confidence in our ability to deliver to a high standard was not misplaced”, said Brian Freed, Managing Director for Entessa.
Entessa strengthens its leadership
Based on independent analysis, Synthesis™ is now the market leading enterprise management software application for the pipeline and terminal industry, and was recently selected by two major North American pipeline and terminal operators. “Our leadership and focus on continuing to provide increased value to the Oil & Gas industry is yielding the results we predicted. One can just look at the rate of adoption of our solutions. The trend amongst pipeline and terminal operators is to seek revenue growth through any avenue possible, and our solutions are strategically positioned to support that objective.", said Jason Riley, Director of Operations for Entessa.
The term “synthesis” was carefully selected because it is descriptive of the application itself. Synthesis is a term used in the chemical industry in which individual chemical elements are combined to form a new resulting whole. This is indicative of how Synthesis™, the application, works. By employing a new model of software development and deployment called “packaged composite applications”, existing modules of code are combined and modified in unique ways to create a product that matches each customer’s business processes and needs. This allows us to deploy a common code base from one customer to another, and configure that code base in a manner that yields different features and functions.
Initiatives are already underway to supply existing customers with the upgraded software.
