FRANKFURT, Germany, May 11 /PRNewswire/ --     AVEVA is proud to announce the amalgamation of its industry-leading
Information Management Solution into a single brand -- AVEVA NET.
Complementing the existing AVEVA Plant and AVEVA Marine brands, AVEVA NET
provides an integrated environment for managing the digital asset and
ensuring its consistency across the complete lifecycle of the physical asset.

Utilising a common Digital Information Hub, AVEVA NET delivers a
web-based, collaborative information management environment for both data and
documents, supporting both the Engineer/Procure/Construct and the
Operate/Maintain/Revamp phases of a plant.

Today more than 100 AVEVA customers have successful implementations
around the globe using various modules of the AVEVA NET solution in plant
operations and plant design, delivering quantifiable economic and quality
benefits.

Following AVEVA's approach of complete openness, AVEVA NET allows
customers and system integrators to seamlessly incorporate the Digital
Information Hub into their businesses. The well-known AVEVA NET Gateways have
shown in many implementations that they are unrivalled in flexibility and
ease of implementation. Being fully ISO 15926 compliant, these Gateways allow
the capture and management of data and documents regardless of the authoring
applications which created them.

Because in most operating plants the vast majority of information
consists of paper documents and drawings, AVEVA answered this specific
challenge by developing a set of Gateways for the data capture of paper
documents. Like all AVEVA Gateways, these automatically create associations
between the captured data and documents, building an information network
without manual input. The captured information can then be directly validated
before being navigated, retrieved and collaborated on.

In project execution AVEVA NET manages project data created in either
AVEVA Plant and AVEVA Marine applications, or third party authoring tools,
allowing it to be shared, collaborated on and managed to support an
error-free design thereby ensuring efficient project execution and project
handover.

Executive Vice President of AVEVA NET Solutions, Dave Coppin, comments:
'Information management is where the biggest gains can now be made across all
the engineering industries. AVEVA NET has already established itself as the
leading technology and, by amalgamating the various solutions under one
brand, AVEVA will not only enable more strongly-focused development, but its
tighter integration will better support the evolving needs of its users.'
