In fact, the Ekho solution is applicable in any industrial operation where there is an interest in continual performance improvement.

Ekho is a unique software solution.

• Minimally invasive to install. It sits on top of existing operational systems and collects data through industry standard interfaces.
• Requires no software development. It is fully integrated system, and it is pre-configured for use for each industry.
• Allows the customer to adapt the software to their operations, rather than having to adapt their operations to the software.
• Speeds the time to value. The Implementation cycle involves configuration, training and implementation, and customers tend to have the system installed and generating value within a few months.
• Generates results faster, by encouraging focused, short term projects prioritized based on potential ROI. Big bang projects are avoided, along with the undesirable consequences.
• Scalable without limit. Since Ekho provides you with the freedom and flexibility to define which events are to be logged there is virtually no limitation to how the software can be utilized.
• Extensible across the operation or the enterprise. The same software can be used to address functions within a single operation, or to address functions across all operations and at the enterprise level.
• Adaptable to changing business priorities. As business requirements and priorities change, Ekho can be deployed for performance management in the new opportunity areas.
