Belief in Comos(R) - Motivation for innotec

Jochen Schuler, Managing Director of innotec Germany: "The
business deal worth millions with Petrobras motivates us and makes us
feel vindicated. Round the globe, more and more operators and plant
manufacturers use Comos(R), our state-of-the-art Life Cycle Asset
Information Management System. With Petrobras, we have gained the most
powerful petroleum combine in the offshore market in Brazil as our new
customer. "

Still in the first quarter, the Brazilians will integrate from the
engineering and documentation range the complete innotec portfolio
with Comos(R) FEED, P&ID, E&IC and piping management up to
documentation management into their existing workflow. With the
subsidiary innotec do Brazil in Sao Paulo, a high-calibre team of
experts will stand by Petrobras.

construction of a plant, but also its economic operation across the
total life cycle. In Comos(R), all relevant data and documents are
readily available in one database only - this is our key to success. "
