Aivars Lode, a Managing Director of Avantcé has assumed the role of Revere's CEO. "We seek out companies like Revere because of its history of providing premier software products to customers in asset-intensive industries," said Mr. Lode. He went on to say "The importance of EAM/CMMS will continue to grow for many corporations and based on our experience we believe that Revere has a very long and bright future ahead providing these solutions for our customers."

"By bringing together the Robocom and Revere organizations we are adding not only first class products to the suite of solutions we can offer our combined customer base but we are also bringing very talented people to our Team. Our customers are asking us to provide them the functionality that allows them to know where critical parts are located within their supply chain rather than simply if they are in stock on their location. As an example when Hurricane Katrina hit there was a disjointed search to find the right parts in order to get the refineries and drill rigs back on line. By combining supply chain visibility and asset management solutions we will be able to help our customers fill this critical need."
