AVEVA Extends AVEVA NET Portal Further in Plant Operations

CAMBRIDGE, England - Collaboration, Security and Usability Basis of Key Update

AVEVA (LSE: AVV) today announced the immediate availability of the latest
release of AVEVA NET Portal. This significant update responds to direct
customer feedback by incorporating features that improve the collaboration,
security and usability of the product, further closing the gap between
disparate systems and the need for an ‘integrated operations’ working
environment.

AVEVA NET Portal, an integral part of AVEVA NET, the web-based,
information management solution already trusted by customers worldwide, now
benefits from tools that enhance collaboration yielding time and cost savings
by breaking down the ’silos’ that have traditionally developed across
different systems within plant operating environments.

This has been achieved by adding universal markup capability for all 2D
and 3D documents managed by the system. These comments can be used, for
example, in the creation of maintenance work packs to indicate areas or items
requiring physical inspection for safety checks. Mark ups are associated with
the original document and stored within the central database becoming
accessible to those granted access to them.

“Based on customer feedback we’re seeing a greater sense of urgency
towards integrated operations, the ability to use information across the
business, reducing risk and helping plants remain safe and meet regulatory
compliance. By making data available wherever and whenever it is required,
regardless of which programs created the data in the first place, AVEVA NET
helps meet this imperative,” commented Dave Coppin, Executive vice President,
AVEVA NET Solutions.

Derek Middlemas, Group Operations Director at AVEVA, commented: “AVEVA
NET fits closely with our customers’ requirement for ‘integrated operations’;
where information is made available, and the tools are always there to view
it, share it, collaborate on it and add value to it, so that risk is greatly
reduced. This is a huge issue in an industry where the emphasis on safety and
accountability is growing every day.”
