Vianova
Systems is on track and is conquering new ground in Europe. Novapoint
Railway, part of the most complete professional civil engineering and
infrastructure design system portfolio in Europe, has been chosen by
TucRail, subsidiary company of the Belgian Railway Company
(NMBS/SNCB) specialised in rail engineering and project management.
The contract which comprises of engineering software as well as
training and support, includes 8 Novapoint Railway licences to start
with.
“This
is a major breakthrough for Novapoint Railway”, says Patrick Mc
Gloin, director of customer affairs at Vianova Systems AS, the
Norwegian mother company. “We are experiencing increased demand for
our 22 different Novapoint engineering applications in all the
countries we are dealing, but this is so far the second large success
we have with our internationalized Novapoint Railway application in
Europe. Earlier this year the Finnish railway company VR Track also
chose Novapoint. The Belgian contract represents therefore a very
important step forward for us.”
Novapoint
Railway is a relatively new product on the international market.
Vianova Systems chose only last year to commercialize and
internationalize this successful Novapoint application, having been a
Norwegian only application up to then. The Norwegian railway
authorities have used Novapoint Railway for over 14 years!
“We
had some tough competition in Belgium”, says Benjamin Van Daele.
“The reasons we won were due to our local expertise and the speed
at which we could supply a localised solution, with support for local
drawing standards and formats. Also the fact that the Norwegian
Railway Administration has successfully been using Novapoint Railway
for all its design for such a long time was important. With this
contract Vianova Systems is one more step closer to its vision of
being the major European supplier of complete civil engineering
software.”
