About RoviSys

We founded RoviSys as an independent control system integrator because we felt systems owners wanted those freedoms, to be enabled, not restrained.

Since its founding in 1989 as one of the first control systems integrators in North America, RoviSys has evolved to become a leading independent provider of comprehensive process automation solutions and services.

With the resources, experience and skills to solve and support practically any process automation and integration challenge, the company’s more than 900 engineers, developers and project managers make RoviSys an excellent choice for companies of all sizes looking for real solutions.

When RoviSys was founded, we recognized that companies investing in the most proprietary of systems wanted something more than proprietary systems vendors offer -- the freedom to choose the best available technologies and solutions with alternatives for support and upgrades. In short, they wanted open systems. RoviSys was founded in 1989 to fulfill those wants.

The RoviSys commitment is simple: provide clients with world class information integration and process controls using the best available components and platforms, regardless of who makes them. In short, give clients choices.
