AVEVA Announces Its Participation in SAP® EcoHub Solution Marketplace

May 17, 2010 - PRLog -- SAP EcoHub delivers added value to customers by accelerating discovery, evaluation and purchase of trusted partner solutions – such as AVEVA NET – that complement SAP offerings

Cambridge, UK, 13 May 2010: AVEVA Group plc (LSE:AVV) one of the world's leading providers of engineering design and information management solutions for the plant, power and marine industries, today announced its participation in the SAP® EcoHub solution marketplace. This community-powered site makes it easier for customers to discover, evaluate and purchase partner solutions – such as AVEVA NET – that complement SAP applications.

The SAP EcoHub provides customers access to complementary solutions and offerings that work best for their installation of SAP solutions. It leverages SAP’s comprehensive ecosystem, where customers and partners can connect. The SAP EcoHub integrates community input, user feedback, ratings and partner demos, enabling a more educated and intelligent selection of solutions.

The AVEVA NET platform, which helps companies manage their information across engineering design and operations, is listed on SAP EcoHub at https://ecohub.sdn.sap.com/irj/ecohub/solutions/AVEVANET. Resources available for download from the SAP EcoHub site include an AVEVA NET summary, an informational white paper and customer success stories. Also provided are certification details for AVEVA NET and the ability to request a live demo or contact from AVEVA.

“SAP’s EcoHub online solution marketplace really makes our prospects’ search for information simpler and more productive,” said Dave Coppin, head of Global Business Development at AVEVA. “Thanks to SAP EcoHub, the benefits provided by our AVEVA NET information management solution, integrated with SAP solutions – benefits in cost, time, quality, validation and risk - are now easy for prospects to research, and are clearly articulated.”

As an established independent software vendor offering solutions in support of SAP offerings, AVEVA has made serving the needs of customers using SAP solutions a top priority. Most recently, AVEVA NET 3.6 earned the SAP certification “Powered by SAP NetWeaver®” and AVEVA has joined the SAP PartnerEdge™ program as an SAP software solution partner.

Through the program, partners work closely with SAP to develop and certify the technical integration of their solutions with SAP software. Integrated partner applications extend, complement and add value to SAP solutions, thereby helping mutual customers more successfully meet business needs and drive strong results.
   
An example of results achieved by customers using AVEVA NET in conjunction with SAP solutions include much quicker and more efficient loading of master data into SAP solutions during the operations readiness and engineering data handover phases, saving time and money and increasing the completeness and accuracy of asset information.

Bill van Butzelaar, Engineering Information Management Project Manager at Australia’s biggest oil and gas provider, Woodside Energy Ltd, commented: “The information management benefits delivered by our use of AVEVA NET and SAP solutions have saved us millions of dollars and significantly increased productivity. We believe that no other system could have achieved this degree of success.”

SAP EcoHub is live at http://ecohub.sdn.sap.com. Visitors can search for solutions in many ways, including industry or solution, key words, relevance or partner. Solutions can be evaluated online based on feedback from other users, partners and business experts. For more information about AVEVA NET, visit the SAP EcoHub or www.aveva.com.
