Tecnicas Reunidas, an engineering, procurement and construction company, uses AVEVA E3D Design to create 3D plant designs. Moving this tool to the cloud has enabled the company to create clash-free 3D models accessible by teams across the world, helping the company avoid rework and extra costs. The cloud has also simplified license management and saved on the cost of maintaining the firm’s 1,000 virtual desktops and servers.
“With the cloud we save infrastructure, we save license management, we save desktop management. We have one environment in the cloud accessible everywhere, by any people in our organization.”
Raúl Martin,
Head of IT Engineering,
Tecnicas Reunidas
Challenges
- Connecting global project teams working with the same engineering data was complex
- Inflexible on-premises software licensing for fluctuating project needs and time-consuming hardware set-up at multiple locations was unnecessarily costly
Solution
- Moved existing AVEVA™ E3D Design solution to the cloud on CONNECT
- The move enabled dispersed teams to build and work with 3D models without the need to set up hardware for each new project location
Results
- Reduced software license costs as only the licenses used are activated when running in the cloud
- Slashed set-up time for a new project from weeks to less than 30 minutes
- Cut cost of maintaining the firm’s 1,000 virtual desktops and servers by 40%
