•         aspenONE V7 MSC extends AspenTech’s industry-leading, integrated refinery planning and scheduling solution to the entire petroleum supply chain. This allows integrated oil companies to optimize decisions and visualize their impact across the petroleum supply chain.

•         Refinery planners and schedulers, distribution schedulers and traders can collaborate more effectively and answer complex questions faster, to keep pace of rapidly changing market conditions. With aspenONE V7 MSC, customers are better able to increase margins while safely optimizing throughput and maximizing customer service.

•         The MSC release also includes aspenONE V7’s IT innovations that make it easier for customers to achieve value from their software investment. The release includes a flexible token-based licensing model, allowing customers to use the software they need when and where they need it; the Aspen Licensing Center, making it easier to identify and replicate software usage best practices across the global enterprise; and support for leading virtualization technologies from Microsoft, VMware and Citrix, dramatically reducing software deployment time from months to weeks.
