Intergraph Launches Smartplant Enterprise Virtual Training
HUNTSVILLE,
AL, Apr 16, 2008 - Intergraph has introduced SmartPlant Enterprise Virtual
Training, a remote self-study instructional program that will enhance
training flexibility and accelerate project implementation.
SmartPlant Enterprise Virtual Training (SPVT) is a comprehensive program of
online, in-depth training courses that enable an unlimited number of
engineers at multiple locations anywhere in the world to be trained at their
own pace whenever and wherever they choose. Offering the convenience of
training at home or office, these instructor-led desktop courses are
designed to help SmartPlant Enterprise 3D plant engineering design and data
management software users further develop valuable skills and learn in an
intuitive, innovative self-study format. Instruction is engineering
workflow-driven instead of the typical command-centered format.

"Fluor Corporation believes that how well designers and engineers are
trained affects their efficiency and willingness to accept the work process
changes that the effective use of the SmartPlant 3D plant design software
demands. The basis for Fluor's Next Generation Learning Strategy was to
design a process that was both efficient and effective in supporting these
principles. We determined early on that in addition to our learning
environment that teaches Fluor work processes, we needed a method to teach
the SmartPlant 3D core product more effectively than the traditional
classroom courses. We believe the SmartPlant Enterprise Virtual Training
(SPVT) provides Fluor the variability and flexibility we need to effectively
transition our work force to SmartPlant 3D," said Mike Pye, director of
Project Automation.
"The need for our growing SmartPlant customer base to quickly train
SmartPlant 3D plant design software users to implement and scale projects
has led us to develop this innovative approach to training," said Patrick
Holcomb, Intergraph Process, Power & Marine executive vice president, global
business development. "SmartPlant Virtual Training will provide new levels
of flexibility and enable customers to achieve higher productivity, anywhere
in the world, now faster and cheaper than ever before."
This format is developed for engineering firms that desire faster or
quicker implementations and is not limited to the number of Intergraph
training facilities or available instructors. A virtual course can also
serve as an introduction to a topic prior to traditional training or as a
"how-to" refresher for someone who has already had the instructor-led
training. Each course gives one individual an Internet login to the lessons
available in one course. The lessons can be referenced as often as requested
during the 12-month access period.
SPVT offers the following client benefits:
- Accelerated learning - quickly train large numbers of users
with the ability to scale up or down to meet project demands
- Reduced training costs - eliminate travel expenses with less
time away from existing projects
- Global workshare - provides consistent training across the
world to global workshare engineering teams
- Increased efficiency - share best practices and consistent
methodologies; ensure everyone receives approved training
- Improved flexibility - self-study at your own pace; take up to
12 months to master the material from your home or office, day or night
