11. What is the ?
 PI is a real time Information Management System
 The human link to connect to the local and
global real time information for better decisions
 PI integrates real time data from more than 300
different sources & applications
 PI stores high resolution real time data on-line
for years
 PI delivers critical real time data to everyone in
the enterprise for better decision making
All Data
Any Location
Any Time
Any Device
