			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h2>AspenTech is the world&#8217;s leading supplier of software that optimizes  process manufacturing.</h2>
<p>From our MIT and U.S. Department of Energy roots in the early  1980s, to the groundbreaking release of aspenONE V7 in 2008, AspenTech  has always been at the forefront of innovation in the process  industries.</p>
<p>With integrated aspenONE solutions, process manufacturers can  implement best practices for optimizing their engineering,  manufacturing, and supply chains.  As a result, AspenTech customers are  better able to achieve their operational excellence goals &#8212; increasing  capacity, improving margins, reducing costs, and becoming more energy  efficient.</p>
<p>Today, AspenTech solutions are used by virtually every  leading company in the process manufacturing industry.  Over 75,000  users at over 1,500 companies rely on AspenTech.  For over 25 years,  AspenTech customers have achieved hundreds of millions in dollars in  cost savings and performance improvements.</p>
<p>And in 2008, the culmination of that industry <strong><em>leadership</em></strong> and experience was manifested in the release of aspenONE V7.  It  represents <strong><em>best  practices</em></strong> for process optimization.  It redefines  ease-of-use in software for the process industries.  It makes  operational excellence <strong><em>achievable</em></strong> and – even in the face of today’s market challenges – easier than you  think.</p>
