Energy Industry Sees New Possibilities for HMI Technology

Back in April, Kinesix exhibited at the 7th-annual SPE Digital Energy Conference, held at the George R. Brown Convention Center in Houston.  The conference focused on how the oil-and-gas industry can embrace data advances such as system interoperability, improved integration and predictive analytics.  What does this mean for oil-and-gas producers?  More advanced software requiring sophisticated front-end interfaces.

Q & A Corner

As Director of Business Development, Kinesix’s Ryan Ladisic Knows a Thing or Two About Successful Sales

You may recall that, in March, Ryan Ladisic joined the Kinesix team as our new Director of Business Development -- a sign of our growing sales efforts.  Since then, we have picked up even more business-development momentum, particularly in Asia. 

 

Below, Ryan shares a little bit about the company's sales strategy and plans for the future:

Q: So are you mainly focused on sales overseas?

A: No.  Clearly we have had great success in markets like Australia, Canada, China and most recently South Korea.  We will continue to support them with both our flagship product, Sammi and our latest industry leading technology, KX EDGE.  These partnerships will remain fundamental to our long term success. 

 

With the U.S. markets we feel the energy sector is the area where we will make the most gains over the next year.  As margins shrink and competitive pressures build, companies who are potential customers will look for ways to drive costs out of their product lines.  One fundamental way to do this is by incorporating a COTS solution like our KX EDGE as the visualization component.  And to date those companies who have made that shift have realized significant short term savings on internal development and even greater long term savings on recurring maintenance and support.
