Latest Enhancements to AVEVA Plant Deliver Immediate and Measurable User Benefits

Cambridge, England (ots/PRNewswire) - AVEVA (LSE:AVV) today
announces further enhancements to its AVEVA Plant portfolio, with
significant improvements to AVEVA PDMS, AVEVA Global and all of its
schematics products.

Notable improvements have been made to AVEVA PDMS and AVEVA
Global, further extending AVEVA's technology leadership in 3D plant
design and multi-site project execution.

This latest release introduces numerous new and improved
capabilities, many of which are as a result of consultation with
AVEVA customers.

One of the major enhancements is the ability of AVEVA PDMS users
to openly share data with users of AVEVA Outfitting, part of the
AVEVA Marine portfolio, in even the most complex and demanding global
projects. Customers involved in any part of the offshore oil & gas or
marine industries will benefit from greatly enhanced standardisation
across their projects coupled with increased flexibility in the way
they work with their project partners.

The new version of AVEVA Global, AVEVA's unique technology for
managing multi-project execution, receives many enhancements,
including new compression technology that further reduces band-width
and network availability requirements.

All of the schematic products within AVEVA Plant have also
received major updates, and a new product, AVEVA Diagrams, has been
added to the Plant portfolio.

AVEVA VPE P&ID has been extensively upgraded and is renamed AVEVA
P&ID at this release. Still integrated with AVEVA VPE Workbench,
AVEVA P&ID is now a fully object-centric, AutoCAD-based application,
employing Microsoft .NET technology, and capable of integration with
AVEVA's Dabacon database via AVEVA P&ID Manager. The latest version
is an excellent illustration of AVEVA's policy of Continual
Progression; providing customers with increasing capabilities and
flexibility while ensuring full upwards compatibility of their
existing design data.

AVEVA Diagrams is a powerful tool for creating P&IDs and HVAC
diagrams, with an intuitive Microsoft Visio user interface, for users
whose priority is direct interaction with the schematic model
database. Already a popular element of AVEVA Marine, it has been
upgraded and introduced to the plant portfolio, reflecting the
progressively closer integration of these two product families.

AVEVA P&ID and AVEVA Diagrams are two complementary products,
providing customers with freedom to choose their preferred solution.
P&ID drawings and data from both of these products, and from a number
of third party P&ID systems can be consistency checked against the 3D
PDMS model using the latest AVEVA Schematic 3D Integrator.

This new release of the AVEVA Plant portfolio also includes the
latest update to the new AVEVA Instrumentation product, which is a
feature-rich suite of integrated applications for the efficient
specification, design and maintenance of all plant instrumentation
and control systems.

Bruce Douglas, AVEVA's Vice President Marketing and Product
Strategy, said: "AVEVA Plant is an integrated set of engineering and
design applications for the process plant and power industries. It
allows engineers and designers on multiple sites to work together,
in the most productive and risk-free way. These latest upgrades make
them even more productive and further extends our leadership in many
areas."

Richard Longdon, CEO of AVEVA said: "At every new product
release, AVEVA pushes out the boundaries of what it is possible to
achieve in the plant engineering industries. These latest upgrades
will deliver immediate, measurable benefits to our customers,
increase their capabilities, and increase our technology leadership."
