Current enterprise process historian solutions create high value for many companies. The decision to partner with an enterprise historian vendor for process history management, analysis, and visualization is one that is typically made after a great deal of research. Many companies have recovered the initial costs of the enterprise historian in the first year. The question is: how much is ‘enough return’ from an asset?

Many organizations are placing the OPC historian solutions into targeted areas to reap the benefits of detailed analysis outside the scope of the enterprise historian. Adding open connectivity has been seen to reduce the total per-connection pricing in some enterprise historian deployments.
