Dear Valued Partner & Friends,

The energy industry has changed dramatically over the years, but one thing that hasn’t changed is Avatar Systems core purpose: to equip *you*—the independent operators, accountants, landmen, and engineers with the same powerful tools used by the supermajors, without compromising usability, service, or trust.

At our 2017 User Conference, we shared our commitment to investing in modern technology. Today, that vision has become a reality. I am pleased to introduce ***Providence™ Oil & Gas Software***, our new, fully integrated, enterprise platform for Accounting, Land, Production, and Midstream operations.

Providence represents the culmination of a seven-year, multi-million-dollar investment. Leveraging decades of industry expertise and the evolution of Avatar Systems’ legacy platforms—Integra, Petroware, OGAS, and Avatar AS400/iSeries.

Avatar Systems is the first company in this sector to successfully develop and deploy a fully scalable **Single Instance Architecture (SIA)** enterprise platform that is 100% native SaaS, requires no middleware, and is built on Microsoft SQL and HTML5.

What does that mean for you?

***Providence*** is faster, more reliable, easier to use, and ready for the next generation of energy professionals. It is modern, intuitive, and welcoming. Most importantly it is a single-point of truth, with performance and capabilities once reserved for only the supermajors—now in your hands.

Simply put: ***Providence*** is the zenith of our mission. Delivering the solutions you need, in a unified, modern, powerful, and future ready platform.

***Providence™ Oil & Gas Software***** is now available for demonstrations and early adopter programs. Our **product release events will be announced in the coming weeks. We look forward to taking these next steps together.

With gratitude,

**Chuck Shreve  
*****CEO, Avatar Systems, Inc.***
