Janauary 27, 2006—Magnitude Information Systems, Inc., a human capital optimization solution company, has announced that Abu Dhabi Gas Industries, Ltd. (GASCO) has recently concluded an extensive evaluation of ergonomic software products to be utilized with their employees using computers which resulted in the purchase of Magnitude’s ErgoEnterprise software customized for GASCO.

Dr. Farrukh Qureshi, Senior Occupational Health Specialist, Health, Safety and Environment Division, stated: “GASCO has long recognized the health and safety of our employees as being of primary importance whether they work in the field or at their desk using a computer as a part of their work. We assessed the risk and identified the need to protect our employees from computer related health problems. We then researched what was available in the marketplace.”
