Fluor Corp Selects AVEVA VNET for Africa Operations
 CAMBRIDGE,
England , February 21, 2007 - AVEVA (LSE:AVV), a leading provider of plant
design and engineering lifecycle solutions, today announced that Fluor
Corporation has selected AVEVA’s VNET solution to manage the information and
handover requirements of a major engineering project in Africa. VNET is an
application-independent, web-enabled platform for the integration and
collaboration of asset information.
Fluor Corporation, one of the world's largest publicly owned engineering,
procurement, construction, and maintenance services companies, selected
AVEVA VNET because of its ability to deliver a quick and efficient
implementation and the immediate realization of business benefits to the
project.
Alex Giles, Project IM Lead of Fluor Corporation commented: “Following an
evaluation of various products, we identified a number of key benefits that
AVEVA VNET provides. These included delivering Seamless Handover from
multiple data sources where the handover requirements are governed by
detailed client requirements, as well as improving the quality and
organization of engineering data, resulting in faster, more intuitive access
to information. In turn, this will reduce search time, avoid inconsistencies
and improve the coordination of key functions, delivering increased
productivity and efficiency in project execution and handover.
“A major benefit for us is the short implementation timeframe which will
ensure early operational availability and provide immediate benefits to the
project schedule.”
Richard Longdon, CEO of AVEVA commented: “We’re delighted to be working
with Fluor. Amongst other business advantages, the AVEVA VNET system offers
Fluor Corporation the ability to provide earlier visibility of engineering
information to the customer through a continuous handover process greatly
reducing the cost of handover and helping de-risk the plant operation.”
AVEVA VNET is an application-independent, web-enabled platform for the
integration and collaboration of asset information. Schematics, 3D models,
real-time operational data, documents and data from any application across
the entire asset life-cycle can be accessed and navigated in context. By
making the information contained within asset data work harder, VNET
delivers the most comprehensive digital profile of a physical asset.
