CHICAGO-October 17, 2001-Industrial Peer-to-Peer LLC (Ip2), a wholly owned subsidiary of InStep Software, LLC and developer of the eDNA software solution for the power generation and process industries, today announces a partnership with Matrikon, a leading provider of Web-based products and optimization software and services for the energy and industrial processing industries. Under the partnership, Matrikon will offer Ip2's flagship software product, eDNA, to its international client base, enabling Ip2 to reach more of the world's leading power generators and utilities.
Ip2's eDNA solution improves the access to and utilization of information generated in the power producing process.

As a result, companies can quickly and easily analyze data for predictive maintenance and forecasting, and react to shifting market conditions.
"Ip2's relationship with Matrikon comes at a time of increased competition, when power companies are recognizing the need for effective decision support tools that help reduce costs and increase efficiency, productivity and profits," says John Kalanik, president of Ip2. "With Matrikon's reputation leading the way, our proven eDNA solution will deliver those positive results to more power industry companies than ever before."
