Thyssen Krupp Marine Systems Strengthens Relationship With AVEVA
HAMBURG, Germany, August 7 /PRNewswire/ -- AVEVA (LSE:AVV), the leading supplier of engineering IT systems for the plant and marine industries today announced that Thyssen Krupp Marine Systems has extended its 25-year association with AVEVA by signing a new agreement that includes migration from the former Tribon system to the AVEVA Marine shipbuilding solution with all of its extended functional possibilities at the company shipyards in Kiel, Emden and Hamburg, Germany. One of the TKMS companies, Howaldtswerke-Deutsche Werft (HDW), has been using Tribon (and its predecessor Steerbear) since 1983. The other German shipyards of the group first started using the software system in 1994. In the past HDW has contributed significantly to the development of the AVEVA software systems with many of the advanced production functions found in AVEVA Marine today being a direct result of this cooperation. Herr Jens Peters, Director of IT at TKMS said: "A key factor in the decision by us to use the AVEVA marine solution was once again the convincing scope and quality of the shipbuilding-specific functionality such as hull design. Other factors include the great emphasis on the flexible handling of software licenses within the group of shipyards, as well as guaranteeing the possibility to upgrade to the latest version in the AVEVA Marine (Series 12)." Hans van der Drift, Regional Vice-President for AVEVA said: "This new agreement with Thyssen Krupp Marine Systems provides the German shipyards in the group with unprecedented flexibility in the future use of AVEVA software. We are very happy that TKMS has decided to substantially increase it's commitment to our world leading software solutions". AVEVA is the leading shipbuilding software system in Germany and around the world. The company, which is listed on the London stock exchange, has experienced record growth in the last financial year.
