Customer Application Centers

Global Accessibility to our Technology

Houston, Texas USA In the heart of North Americas Oil and Gas Industry

Shanghai, China While the World Wide Web and numerous virtual meeting technologies have made it easier to move data instead of people, we understand that there are also still times where nothing can take the place of face-to-face, personal access to technology. One of the ways we are making our technology more easily accessible to existing and potential customers is through our global network of Customer Application Centers (CACs). These facilities are strategically located to ensure customers on every continent have ready access to demonstrations of our technology and solutions, allowing hands-on interaction with our software and hardware and a deeper understanding of the many service offerings now available, such as reliability consulting and implementation. With four CACs currently operating, and three more planned for the near future, the ability for customers to see in-depth, hands-on demonstrations of GEs optimization and control technology has never been betterwhether it be a Bently Nevada* ADRE* instrument, a Mark* Series Control Platform, our CLOC* System, System 1* software, or anything else from our large portfolio of control, optimization, and condition monitoring solutions. If you are interested in getting hands-on with our numerous products and services, we invite you to contact your nearest GE sales professional or e-mail us at orbit@ge.com.
