April 11, 2005 -- Engineered Software, Inc., the leading provider of software used to design and simulate the operation of fluid piping systems, announced the release of its Software Development Kit (SDK) today. The SDK works in conjunction with the company’s innovative PIPE-FLO Professional program.

“The SDK allows our customers to create custom applications that integrate directly with our PIPE-FLO program,” said Ray Hardee, Vice President of Engineering at Engineered Software, Inc. “The SDK can also be used to integrate PIPE-FLO with existing systems that our customers are using. The kit provides our customers the opportunity to expand the fluid piping design and simulation automation process into areas specific to their business. By integrating with current systems using the SDK, customers create a seamless information transfer between programs resulting in more accurate and efficient results.”

The SDK is also a perfect fit for organizations that are developing products that could utilize PIPE-FLO’s assortment of information outputs and its extensive customer base.

"We're excited to offer a product that will save time and money for developers," said Hardee. "The SDK cuts months off of development schedules by taking advantage of PIPE-FLO's well-established capabilities.”

Companies have already begun to integrate the PIPE-FLO program into their applications using the SDK. “This will be a successful project for our company as well as the companies we are working with as it will expand their product line and increase our customer base,” Hardee said.

PIPE-FLO is used by designers and operators to gain a clear picture of their fluid piping systems. The program allows users to visualize their systems in a familiar format, calculate system operations, easily communicate the design with others and access supporting documents in electronic format.
