AVEVA Global Continues To Set Standards For Central, Multi-Site, Project Administration

Wednesday, 30 July 2008

AVEVA (LSE: AVV), the leading supplier of engineering IT systems for the plant and marine industries today announced that AVEVA Global, its unique solution to the challenge of distributed 24-hour working on complex engineering design projects, has just got even better. Following extensive user consultation, AVEVA Global has been further enhanced to provide administrators with advanced tools to set-up and manage the distribution of project data to designers – when and wherever it is required.

Commenting on the release, Gavin Watton – AVEVA’s Head of Plant Products said: “AVEVA Global has for over 10 years enabled PDMS users to have the most up to date design data, regardless of their location and/or reliance on having good communication bandwidth. Rapidly deployed and easily configurable, AVEVA Global has always had low administration overheads. With this release we have empowered the administrator with more tools that make that job yet easier – even for projects that are ongoing.”

AVEVA Global’s ability to operate effectively over low bandwidth connections is unique; and with the additional enhancements, administrators will now benefit from a number of improvements including enhanced database allocation controls, global communication check, transaction timing settings and project status feedback.

Richard Longdon, CEO of AVEVA commenting further on the release said: “AVEVA Global has been a major success story for our customers, for whom the ability to execute projects globally and seamlessly is critical. AVEVA Global’s ability to operate at low bandwidth, coupled with the ease with which it is deployed, is a key differentiator for AVEVA. Quite simply, AVEVA Global removes the administrative headache of synchronising huge data sets in multi-site locations, enabling designers to focus on the engineering.”
