(BSNS WIRE) Gensym User Society Meeting Highlights Payback of Reasoning Techn logy; Costs Savings and Paybacks Presented by Users N Gensym User Society Meeting Highlights Payback of Reasoning Technology; Costs Sa ings and Paybacks Presented by Users Now Available Online Business Editors/High-Tech Writers BURLINGTON, Mass.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--May 8, 2003--Gensym Corporation (OTC Bulletin Board: GNSM), a leading provider of software and services for expert operations management, today announced a successful annual meeting of its Gensym User Society (GUS). Presentations from the meeting are now available online at www.gensym.com/gus. These presentations, from such companies as Dow Chemical, Halliburton KBR, IMC Phosphates, Intel, ManTech International, and Siemens, highlight the paybacks of solutions based on Gensym's G2(R) reasoning technology. This year's GUS meeting, held April 9-11 in Boston, Massachusetts, brought together users of Gensym's software from around the world. Regularly held since 1988, GUS meetings are organized as professional conferences that include presentations, tutorials, demonstrations, and panel discussions. The meetings enable users to share their experiences in successfully deploying reasoning technology solutions based on Gensym's G2 software. The meetings also allow users to learn about Gensym's technology advances and to preview and give feedback on future enhancements. The GUS 2003 meeting theme was "Highlighting Payback - Maximizing Business Results through Reasoning Technology." To explore this theme, GUS 2003 featured user presentations that highlighted how G2-based solutions are achieving paybacks, or will be achieving paybacks after deployment. The following presentation stories are available on Gensym's Web site: -- Dow Chemical achieved a six-month payback for an energy optimization solution now running in several locations; -- Halliburton KBR is pilot-testing a health monitoring solution for off-shore production platforms that has already demonstrated it can prevent incidents costing millions of dollars in lost production; -- IMC Phosphates is boosting throughput and reducing variability for their phosphate processing; -- Intel is pilot-testing an online decision support solution for delivery planning that is predicted to reduce days of inventory by 66% with no impacts on supply chain service levels; -- ManTech International is helping the U.S. Department of Defense identify what changes should be made to its logistics operations to reduce costs and improve service levels; -- Minnovex Technologies is increasing throughputs by over 7 percent for a major Southeast Asia mineral processor; -- Pivetal achieved a six month payback, and millions of dollars in savings, for a network management solution deployed at a major British telecommunications company; and -- Siemens is enabling Tate & Lyle, a major manufacturer of carbohydrate products such as sugar, to react more quickly to changes in customer demands while at the same time optimizing inventories. To begin the exploration of the GUS 2003 theme, the meeting opened with a keynote address from Richard Morley, a computing and automation industry pioneer best known as the inventor of the programmable logic controller (PLC) and founder of Modicon (now Schneider Automation). "Despite a difficult economic and travel environment, GUS 2003 was very successful," said Lowell Hawkinson, chairman, president, and C.E.O. of Gensym. "The enthusiasm of the participants and quality of information shared was very high. This year's emphasis on exploring the payback of solutions based on Gensym's reasoning technology should be helpful for our entire user community. We also heard very positive feedback about our recent G2 7.0 release and our product roadmaps."
