Jon A. SilgjerdAutomasjon og Data AS

Stavanger April 2nd 2014

Background : A+D and key personnel

1980 : First MetOcean experience.

1984 : Founded first own MetOcean company

1991 : A+D founded in Bømlo as a software company

1992 – 1995 : Developed the Data Acquisition Software DADAS which

later has been developed into a family of SW-products.

Continuous operation as a software-company until 2007 mainly selling

the products through other system integrators.

2008 : Developed A+D into a complete system integrator with main

focus on marine and offshore MetOcean systems and services.

Financial info : A+D Automasjon og Data as

2008 : Company restructured as a system integrator.
