The Modular Computing Platform
Our Vision: Extending the Enterprise to any Point of Activity
• Enablement: The right information in the hands of the user, in any location, to be accessed as and when required.
• Empowerment: More data than currently imagined to intelligently exceed any basic job requirements.
• Transformation: New mobile capabilities for new processes
_________________
The entire global enterprise space has re-engineered it’s processes around networked PC technology because PC’s enable, empower and transform.
Oxford expects new business process productivity gains for the field to be similar to the gains on the desktop from the past 25 years

The Modular Computing Platform
Realizing the Vision:
• Oxford is bringing the world’s most advanced mobility platform to the Petrochemical Space – The Antelope MCC (Modular Computer Core)
• The MCC was developed over 4 years by IBM Research
• MCC technology has been licensed to Oxford Strategic Partner Antelope Technologies
• The MCC is now in production – Oxford expects a hazardous area rated version for early Q4 of this year
