It is involved in many industries, including electronics, communications and information technology. , Construction Systems Associates, (Atlanta, GA), announced today that they are forming a new joint venture company to serve the energy and process industries. The joint venture, which is expected to be formed by July 1, 2003, and operate under the name TrinityCSA, will help companies unify digital data from pre-existing design, engineering, and maintenance systems and fully leverage the data in new technologies and systems. "The timing of this venture is important," says Joseph P. Morray, Jr., founder of Trinity Technologies and the president of TrinityCSA. "In the process and energy industries, mergers and acquisitions are prevalent. Many companies are integrating and upgrading existing plants instead of building new plants. They understand that there is a significant competitive advantage to unifying plant information sources for the benefit of the people who plan, design, construct, operate, and maintain plants. CSA's technology helps companies quickly, simply, and cost-effectively bring digital data online and make it productive." TrinityCSA's Information Asset(R) Solutions quickly bring together data from disparate sources to form a coherent digital model of a plant. The technology, proven in companies including Intel, Tennessee Valley Authority Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA), independent U.S. government corporate agency, created in 1933 by act of Congress; it is responsible for the integrated development of the Tennessee River basin. , Toshiba, and Lyondell, simplifies, speeds up, and lowers the cost of the complex and time-consuming processes involved in integrating data. No other technology available today can accept so many information formats -- 3D, schematics, instrumentation databases, CAD drawings, ERP (Enterprise Resource Planning) An integrated information system that serves all departments within an enterprise. Evolving out of the manufacturing industry, ERP implies the use of packaged software rather than proprietary software written by or for one customer. files, and others created in legacy systems -- and deliver the data in a neutral file format that can be used in any current design or management system. "CSA's company structure and mature 3D , 4D, and XD technology has allowed us to solve complex information capture and modeling problems for our clients," says Amadeus M. Burger, president of CSA and board chairman at TrinityCSA. "Through this joint venture, our clients will reap the benefit of CSA's deep experience in plant information capture and Trinity's expertise in integration, work process alignment and organizational change. Together, we can help companies develop and implement strategies for mission-critical, easy access to plant information and the associated work processes -- and be more competitive in the current business environment."
