New Business Value Calculator helps Marine engineers to quantify project cost savings by upgrading to AVEVA’s Integrated Engineering & Design solution

Cambridge, UK – 13 February 2013: AVEVA today announced the launch of the AVEVA Marine Business Value Calculator (BVC), an interactive application that illustrates the project cost savings, up to 30% across all disciplines, by adopting AVEVA’s Integrated Engineering & Design solution, AVEVA Marine.

“We have worked with experts in the industry who have given us credible project criteria with which to illustrate the achievable cost savings”, Bruce Douglas, Senior Vice-President, EDS Strategy & Marketing, AVEVA. “As a result, we can confidently demonstrate major time and cost savings with AVEVA Marine, which will give our customers significant competitive advantage.”

Based on data from authoritative industry sources and feedback from customers, the BVC enables users to project potential design and engineering cost savings as well as production man-hours and material savings when using the advanced discipline-specific modules from the AVEVA Marine portfolio as compared with Tribon. Existing AVEVA Marine customers will be able to see how they too can achieve further savings by using a broader selection of the Marine portfolio.

By selecting the vessel type and size, the BVC employs a number of predefined criteria based on typical marine industry standards, including splits between materials and labour, design and production, and hull and outfitting for different classes of vessel. Adjusting these input parameters to match a company’s existing cost structure on its typical types of project means that the BVC can provide a realistic projection of overall cost saving that that company could achieve.

Mr Douglas added, “As the customer testimonials included in the BVC confirm, AVEVA Marine has been extremely well received throughout the marine industry. The cost saving enabled by our comprehensive portfolio of engineering and design software applications is one clear reason for this success. Because every shipyard is unique and many possible combinations of AVEVA Marine products can be selected, we developed the BVC to help engineers and managers to more accurately estimate the savings that can be achieved in their specific situation.”
