微軟推出化工參考架構計劃
New Microsoft and Accenture study underscores industry need for tighter collaboration, more flexible IT infrastructure and cloud computing solutions.
微軟與埃森哲公司的最新研究強調行業需要更緊密的合作，更靈活的IT基礎設施和云計算解決方案。
Sept.20, 2011 — Microsoft Corp. today launched the Microsoft Chemical Reference Architecture (ChemRA) Initiative, an effort led by Microsoft to develop, along with its partners that provide solutions to the chemical and oil refining industries, a reference architecture framework that will help address business and technological needs for customers in the industry. ChemRA will benefit customers by allowing them to implement interoperable IT solutions built on a solid, secure and reliable foundation while providing great user experience and business insight as well as allowing for easy collaboration and business processes automation. Microsoft partners currently endorsing and participating in the ChemRA Initiative include Accenture, Aspen Technology Inc., Invensys Operations Management Inc., OSIsoft LLC, PROS Holdings Inc., and Siemens (industrial automation systems, manufacturing execution system). The initiative was kicked off today at the MESA 2011 North America Conference in Orlando, Fla.
9月20日消息——微軟公司今天公布了微軟化工參考架構(ChemRA)計劃，一項由微軟領導并與其合作伙伴共同開發、為化工和煉油行業提供解決方案的計劃，一個有助于滿足工業客戶業務和技術需求的參考架構框架。ChemRA將使客戶獲益，使他們能夠在一個穩固、安全和可靠的基礎上實現互操作的IT解決方案，同時提供了極佳的用戶體驗和業務洞察力，以及實現輕松的協作和業務流程自動化。目前認可并參與ChemRA計劃的微軟合作伙伴包括埃森哲公司、艾斯本技術公司、英維斯運營管理公司、OSIsoft有限責任公司、PROS 控股公司以及西門子（工業自動化系統，制造執行系統）。該計劃是在今天的佛羅里達州奧蘭多MESA 2011北美大會上開始的。
“The need for collaboration among chemicals professionals is great, driven by a push for faster innovation and the pressing need for knowledge transfer from retiring workers,” said Ellyn Foltz, managing director, Worldwide Process Manufacturing Industries, Microsoft. “ChemRA provides a response to the business and technology challenges our customers and partners face today. We are helping our customers more effectively interact with and share information to compete and succeed in today’s dynamic global marketplace.”
微軟全球過程制造工業董事總經理Ellyn Foltz表示：“化工人士之間的合作需求很大，主要是更快的創新推動和退休工人知識轉移的迫切需要。ChemRA正是響應了我們的客戶和合作伙伴現今所面臨的業務和技術挑戰。我們正在幫助我們的客戶更有效地互動和分享信息，在當今瞬息萬變的全球市場中競爭并取得成功。”
ChemRA offers an IT-based framework that addresses the business and technical challenges in the chemical industry, such as increased complexity of global supply networks, the pressing need for innovation management that allows for nurturing new ideas, and bringing new products to market fast. ChemRA also addresses the need to capture and share people’s knowledge especially as they approach retirement, and the need to have visibility into the operations in manufacturing, supply chain and research and development. ChemRA also establishes guidance and best practices to leverage existing technologies, while implementing new and future technologies in a way that fits into the operators IT environment.
ChemRA提供了一個IT基礎框架以滿足化工業的業務和技術挑戰，比如，越來越復雜的全球供應網絡，對創新管理以實現新思路的迫切需求，以及將產品更快地推向市場。ChemRA還滿足了人們獲得和分享知識的需求，尤其是他們將要退休的時候，以及人們對制造、供應鏈以及研發的運營實現可視化的需求。ChemRA還建立了指引和最佳做法，以充分利用現有的技術，同時以一種適合運營商IT環境的方式，實現未來新技術。
Development of the chemicals reference architecture will be an ongoing effort led by Microsoft, with close collaboration by participating companies, independent software vendors, systems integrators and customer in-house developers. ChemRA is based on a set of common principles that will meet the technology needs in the chemical and oil refining industries. These principles include natural user experience, application interoperability, enhanced collaboration, business insight and solid IT infrastructure.
化工參考架構的開發將持續不斷，由微軟領頭，并與參與企業、獨立軟件開發商、系統集成商和客戶內部開發者進行密切合作。ChemRA基于一組共同的原則，將滿足化工和煉油行業的技術需求。這些原則包括自然的用戶體驗，應用程序的互操作性，加強的協作，業務洞察力和穩固的IT基礎設施。
