OLI TECHNOLOGY INITIATIVE
OLI is continuing the CrySP Consortium, via a Phase II, to help fund and steer the further development of the Crystallization Simulation Program. This document provides substantial details concerning the projected additional features, which will be pursued for CrySP as part of Phase II.
OLI is seeking new member companies for this consortium, as well as appealing to our current CrySP members. OLI has set the maximum participation for this consortium to eight companies. For more information about this consortium and how your company can join, please contact OLI Systems.
OLI has now met all of its objectives for Phase I of CrySP. Our original CrySP Phase I Consortium Members had the full set of beta version software in June, 1999. The document entitled, "Crystallization Modeling: Project Vision," details the objectives which were achieved in Phase I.
Now, OLI has established important development objectives, which we believe can be achieved in conjunction with Phase II of this project. These objectives are all outlined in Project Vision.
The project is planned for a 1.5 year period (7/1/2000 – 12/31/2001).
One year after the project start (7/2001), we would seek to deliver on most or all of the features which pertain to steady-state simulation, namely items 1 - 4 described in the Project Vision. Items 8 and 9 would be scheduled for completion by the 12/31/2001 project completion date. Finally, the schedule for items 5, 6, and 7, to the extent that they can be developed, would be determined once the project is underway.
Consortium members would receive a number of unique benefits based upon their participation. The benefits include:
A lease, with full support services, for two copies of the OLI Engine, ESP and CrySP Software for a period of 3 years beginning upon joining.
Priority handling of one system for which the CrySP software applies. Priority handling includes databank development, simulation model development, etc. Such a project alone could justify the entire cost of membership.
Membership on a Technical Steering Committee, which will assure that the needs of individual member companies are reflected in this work.
OLI is seeking a financial commitment of $25,000 per year for each of three years. The payments would be due in July 2000, 2001, and 2002.
OLI has had considerable, successful experience with software development via Consortium participation. Based upon this experience, we believe that it is best to limit the size of such a Consortium. So, we plan to limit membership to eight companies. Also, we would like to launch this project during Q3/2000.
We appreciate your interest in this proposal and look forward to the possibility of working with your company in conjunction with this exciting project.
... Why join an OLI Consortia? Because they are the best value for your technology dollar. Pooling the risk with other member companies and with OLI, applied research into areas of crucial importance to the industry can be done. And the benefits are outstanding.
