AVEVA to Preview AVEVA ReviewShare Collaboration Tool at PowerGEN 2007
Share:
HOUSTON, Nov. 20 - AVEVA , the leading provider of power, process, and marine design and engineering lifecycle solutions, will preview its unique new tool for reviewing and collaborating on 3D engineering models in booth #6033 at PowerGEN International 2007, December 11-13, 2007 in New Orleans, Louisiana.
The new product, AVEVA ReviewShare, is built into AVEVA's forthcoming 6.4 release of its AVEVA Review product, and relies on this connection to AVEVA Review 6.4 to deliver its full range of benefits.
AVEVA ReviewShare is unique in its combination of the following benefits:
o It is the first product to combine 3D review, annotation, markup and
collaboration capabilities into one application. Until now, these
processes have often relied on manually cutting and pasting between
different applications, using 2D screenshots with no inbuilt
intelligence.
o It is able to handle 3D models of unlimited size, through AVEVA Review
6.4, thanks to AVEVA's patented streaming technology, which is not
available from any other vendor.
o It enables review material and review requests to be circulated to
reviewers by email from within the application, in a document that is
only a fraction of the size of the 3D model being reviewed. This avoids
the need for large files to be repeatedly sent back and forth.
o Partners, suppliers and subcontractors can also be given access to
AVEVA ReviewShare through AVEVA Review 6.4, creating an extended
collaborative environment that helps to address some of the challenges
inherent in working with third parties on large engineering projects.
Third parties without a connection to AVEVA Review 6.4 can still use
AVEVA ReviewShare in 2D-only ("offline") mode, for example by
downloading it from the AVEVA website.
Large engineering projects rely on teams of specialists, often dispersed across countries or indeed continents, to review the design of engineering components and then collaborate on changes and improvements.
However, recent research by AVEVA, in a poll of over 5,000 international users, has revealed that these teams often rely on sending design review data to their colleagues on CD - by mail - with all the risk and delay that this can entail. Where information is sent electronically, it is often in the form of 2D screenshots, manually cut and pasted between applications, and having neither the intelligence, realism, nor accuracy of 3D models.
Derek Middlemas, EVP Business Strategy at AVEVA, explains: "The ability to centralize, manage and globally collaborate on engineering information over the complete lifecycle of a large project is at the very heart of our customers' vision. AVEVA ReviewShare captures the essence of this vision and delivers it to our customers - and other project stakeholders - with all-in-one simplicity. We are delighted to be previewing AVEVA ReviewShare at PowerGEN International 2007 and are confident that further new products from AVEVA will continue the same compelling story."
