Maintaining the integrity of that data across multiple, globally dispersed offices presents a serious problem.
High volumes of data need to be synchronised to achieve successful 24-hour project execution.
Data management tools specifically designed for an engineering environment can help address this and boost the efficiency of the whole operation while reducing costs.
Regardless of their geographical location, Global 2.1 enables design offices, sub-contractors, fabrication yards and suppliers to work with consistent, controlled design data at any time to support a true "virtual office" operation.
Its advanced features deliver increased flexibility across multiple sites, improved error recovery and status information, and allow satellites to be managed from a central hub.
Paul Daynes, Product Manager, Strategic Programmes commented, "The Global 2.1 solution was developed as a result of customer demand for reducing the high administration costs in ensuring data integrity.
Global 2.1 addresses that need directly allowing them to realise the opportunities and savings that exist in global collaborative engineering." VANTAGE, the collective name for Cadcentre's plant lifecycle product suite, represents a solution for sustainable IT development.
Addressing data management, project management, engineering design, visualisation and the business enterprise on a common foundation, the VANTAGE personality carries a positive drive towards a future that harnesses the best of technology without losing sight of the fundamentals of good engineering.
It is developed upon a proven technology foundation that has been deployed on major global projects over the last 20 years.
