In recognition of its proven ability to execute a winning competitive strategy and deliver excellence to its customers, Glenmount Global Solutions was presented with the 2009 Frost & Sullivan Award for Competitive Strategy and Delivery Excellence in the North American Industrial Automation Systems Integrators Market.
"With the capabilities of its vertical industry competency centers and the quality reputation of its Crown™, FluidIQs® and Tegron® brands, Glenmount delivers significant value to its customers through reduced implementation costs and increased plant uptime," said Siva Kali Prasad, Frost & Sullivan's research analyst in the industrial automation market.
"The acquisition of Crown in 2008 enhanced the service offerings of Glenmount, providing access to new geographies and new vertical markets. Customers of Glenmount vouch for its capabilities and act as self-proclaimed brand ambassadors ensuring repeat orders and significant sales growth," continued Prasad.
Professional firms serving the industrial automation market face a unique set of challenges with evolving market demands and the wide range of technical and process expertise required for each industry. Among thousands of professional system integration firms serving the North American industrial automation market, very few are capable of meeting the full spectrum of customer needs in multiple industries. Glenmount Global Solutions achieves this standard and demonstrates best practices in Metals & Mining; Food, Beverage & Packaging; Oil & Gas; Power & Utilities; and Water & Wastewater.
“We are honored to accept this award from Frost & Sullivan for the distinctive attributes of Glenmount in the marketplace,” said Mike Johnson, CEO of Glenmount Global Solutions. “GGS associates deliver thousands of industrial automation and information solutions for our customers every year. This award recognizes their efforts and celebrates the commitment of the entire GGS team and our partners in delivering uncompromising excellence to our customers.”
In its analysis, Frost & Sullivan attributed GGS’ distinction among its peers to several real life examples. Glenmount Global Solutions has established an effective partner ecosystem to overcome time-to-market challenges in the beverage industry. The company has formulated security solutions to mitigate growing cyber security risks in manufacturing IT. GGS has overcome the competitive challenges of the water and wastewater industry by bundling engineering design services with system integration capabilities. Glenmount has utilized best practices across its multi-disciplined teams to supply highly efficient real-time optimization solutions to power companies. Each of these demonstrates coordinated success in delivering excellence to customers.
"Glenmount has strategically formed alliances, acquired companies, and developed domain expertise to provide holistic solutions and enhance return on investment for its clients," added Prasad. "The complex system integration capability and the unique delivery model of Glenmount, with a reputation earned over decades, makes it the worthy recipient of the 2009 Frost & Sullivan Award for Competitive Strategy and Delivery Excellence in North American Industrial Automation System Integrators Market."
Frost & Sullivan presented the award to representatives from GGS at the 2009 Excellence in Industrial Technologies Awards Banquet, held at The Westin La Cantera Resort, San Antonio, Texas on April 8, 2009.
The Frost & Sullivan Award for Competitive Strategy and Delivery Excellence is presented to a company whose competitive strategy has yielded significant gains in market share during the research period. The company captures the attention of the competition, which quickly adjusts in order to protect its own market position. Frost & Sullivan analysts expect such innovations to produce lasting, precedent-setting trends in the industry.
