PRODUCTS HIGHLIGHTS

Innovative Software & Service Subscription Package Announcement

Honeywell is pleased to announce the launch of its innovative software and services subscription package. This package will enable us to deliver sustained customer outcomes by providing innovative software and value-added services that allow customers to optimize the value they receive from their software investments.

Currently, customers invest in software and a variety of adoption services, such as installation and training, and begin to derive value from the application. Initial adoption challenges emerge as personnel and system changes occur. As time passes, on-site personnel build system expertise, and new features are requested based on system usage. However, as new features are released, upgrades are frequently delayed due to budgetary reasons. Additionally, on-site experts often transition to new roles, resulting in knowledge erosion.

By shifting to this new subscription-based approach, we will now be at the forefront of helping customers:

• Scale usage based on their evolving business needs
• Offer continuous upgrades and updates to our latest offerings without the disruption of traditional upgrade cycles
• Increase faster time-to-value and simplify access to phase one products
• Lower upfront costs with predictable, recurring pricing
• Provide customers with our expert support and tailored customer service

The subscription packages officially launched include:

• Alarm Management
• Operations Management
• Process History Database (PHD)
• Advanced Process Control (APC)
• Asset Performance Management (APM)

These offerings are available now, unlocking sustained outcomes through software and services that evolve in response to our customers' needs. For more information, please contact your Account Manager.
