<<<The role of the control system integrator is traditionally limited to controlling processes - generally because these automated plant systems are not tied to the corporate information systems. However, the trend is for manufacturing plants to connect their plant floor operations with the IT system. Integrators that truly have expertise in both areas are rare. The Information System aspect of Tava's business plan is very significant. The ability to service their clients all the way from the plant floor thru the division manager's desktop is the key to long term success.>>> R.B. Good point, and one that Jenkins really got excited over in the last conference call. This is why I think that TAVA is more than a "one-hit wonder" with Y2K. "...the other part of this that we keep coming back to is that the forcing function of Y2K is that the business system people will be awakened to the value of the information that exists at the shop floor level, the control there, and there'll be a lot of work done, we believe, to pull that information up into the business systems, which is a theme we've been pounding for years and hasn't previously been well received. So the whole Y2K experience is going to open that up dramatically as well. ---John Jenkins, TAVA CEO, 11/14/97
