MOSGIPROMEZ LLC, a top design institute in the Russian iron and steel industry, has implemented AVEVA Everything3D and AVEVA Bocad software. The company recently determined that the functionality of its previous 2D software could not meet a rise in project demand or an increase in design complexity. It needed a solution that could offer tight integration between plant design and structural steel detailing in order to increase efficiency and improve its business process. The client said AVEVA’s technology met all these requirements and offered an easy-to-use interface that enabled a quick implementation. MOSGIPROMEZ’s implementation of this new approach to work and adoption of new technologies represents a long-term investment and will result in maximum efficiency and collaboration, according to the company. Managing director Galina Yaskina said: “AVEVA gave MOSGIPROMEZ a solution to gain higher levels of design efficiency for bigger scale projects that demand much greater complexity. “Explaining its digital asset approach to us, AVEVA demonstrated

SAP and Beiersdorf co-innovated to develop SAP Innovation Management, a solution that helps companies systematically foster ideas and develop innovations with unprecedented efficiency. Every company, whatever its size, is brimming over with innovation potential, which is why today’s enterprises are on the look-out for creative methods to foster idea management. However, too often a lack of basic processes and structures means that some of a company’s innovative power and employee potential is simply going to waste. To ensure successful idea management, companies need a platform that motivates potential users. SAP Innovation Management is the result of a cooperation project between SAP and Beiersdorf, along with other customers. It specifically addresses those challenges that companies struggle with most in their innovation processes. “The product is tailored to what customers need and was developed in close collaboration with them,” says Jochen Mayerle, Chief Solution Expert at SAP. The solution unites all of the key processes in
