SAN LUIS OBISPO, CA, Nov. 9, 2009 (Marketwire) --

SAN LUIS OBISPO, CA -- (Marketwire) -- 11/09/09 -- CygNet Software today announced "CygNet for Pipeline(TM)," the oil and gas pipeline industry's first packaged vertical solution for pipeline operators designed to dramatically reduce the risk, time and cost required for enterprise operations software projects. CygNet for Pipeline -- which includes segment-specific implementation templates, device connectors and applications for standardized gas operations functionality -- enables companies to rapidly install and begin using the powerful CygNet Enterprise Operations Platform (EOP) within a matter of weeks, instead of the multi-year projects typical for enterprise software implementations.

"With CygNet, Atlas was up and effectively functioning with a new enterprise SCADA solution in about three weeks," said Darin Molone, SCADA manager, Atlas Pipeline. "Plus, I can tune the system myself as often as I want, typically without needing to involve our IT team." For additional information on Atlas Pipeline's implementation of CygNet, see press release.

CygNet for Pipeline: First Packaged Vertical Solution for Pipeline Operations

The CygNet solution has experienced rapid market acceptance and is being used in many of the largest domestic gas pipeline transmission companies. With CygNet, these companies are able to unify large volumes of essential, real-time data into a complete operational view across the enterprise.

Leveraging this foundation and experience with multiple deployments, CygNet has developed a standardized solution, CygNet for Pipeline. In using this proven, hassle-free solution, clients need only input their specific configuration data, which completely eliminates the need for multiple cycles of design-signoff-create-test-customize. This fast-track implementation solution includes a pre-designed and tested foundation built exclusively for transportation pipeline operators, enabling them to collect, manage and distribute critical real-time information throughout the enterprise, from the control room to the marketing floor, faster than ever before. This speed of deployment and ease of configuration has shattered the costly, time-consuming and resource-intensive model that has dominated the real-time oil and gas industry for years.

"Pipeline operators have been forced to patch together information from a variety of different vendors, dramatically hindering their operational efficiency and market responsiveness," said Steve Robb, vice president of business development at CygNet Software.
