V2020.1 Release Notes - PipeLay powered by AWS AppStream |
|
•PipeLay is now offered as SaaS with AWS AppStream 2.0. PipeLay has been enhanced to work at scale without the requirement to contact Wood PLC to increase capacity. This solution has been very well received in the industry, as one of our senior VPs remarked:
o“Amazon AppStream 2.0 has enabled us to quickly respond to our clients’ need for a simpler, more expandable and flexible access model. In a short timeframe our modelling tools are now available as SaaS. Wood’s clients can now perform their numerical simulations on the cloud, offering instant computational scalability during busy periods, along with the flexibility to spread operational costs evenly across various offshore engineering projects. The reduction in capital expenditure for expensive hardware is complemented by efficient management of software fees via an hourly-based licensing system. As a lump-sum purchase is no longer required, this significantly reduces up-front costs and makes our software more appealing to new potential clients. We see Amazon AppStream 2.0 as a step towards the provision of more cloud-based solutions, and we envision further partnering with AWS as we support clients through their digital transformation of traditional engineering delivery.“
