CAMBRIDGE, England, September 2 /PRNewswire/ --     AVEVA (LSE:AVV) announced the latest release of its new AVEVA
Instrumentation product with the news that AMEC, a leading international
engineering and project management company, has confirmed its adoption of
AVEVA Instrumentation for Instrumentation and Control design and engineering
for its Mining and Metals business in Canada.

AVEVA Instrumentation is the outcome of an important technology
acquisition by AVEVA, announced on 30 March 2009. During its evaluation of
the technology, AVEVA invited AMEC, a long-standing power user of AVEVA
solutions, to provide an independent user's evaluation, comparing AVEVA

projects, in conjunction with the integration of the existing AVEVA portfolio
of applications.

to enable efficient production of project deliverables. It offers efficiency
and cost savings for project execution and error-free design for
construction.

Commenting on this latest agreement with AMEC, Dave Gibson, AVEVA

chosen to invest in this new technology and look forward to working with them
on this market-leading product."
