Steve Schoenberg, SIXNET President and co-founder, comments
on the benefits of open systems to customers:
"We believe that long-term success is best achieved
through truly open systems. Interconnectivity stops being
magic when equipment communicates through Ethernet, Modbus
and other open standards. An open choice of products eliminates
the risks of obsolescence because you can simply select another
product. Open-source software puts an end to the piracy of
high software costs and perpetual upgrade fees. Our 40% sales
growth over the past year is a resounding vote of affirmation
by our customers on the value of truly open systems".
