New integration is set to transform how projects are managed and executed across various industries, leading to improved project outcomes, faster delivery times, and enhanced client satisfaction

BOSTON, July 26, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — Newforma, a leader in project information management software, and AVEVA, a global leader in industrial software, today announced a powerful new integration between Newforma Konekt and AVEVA E3D Design. This integration, developed by Léo Salvador of Ingeloop, revolutionizes how design teams manage and collaborate on issues within complex projects.

“This collaboration with AVEVA represents a significant step forward in our mission to improve project delivery and collaboration,” said Carl Veillette, chief product officer of Newforma. “By combining Newforma Konekt’s robust project management capabilities with AVEVA E3D Design’s advanced 3D modeling tools, we’re providing our users with an unparalleled solution for managing complex projects efficiently and effectively.”

The integration leverages the BIM Collaboration Format (BCF) to enable seamless issue management across both platforms, offering real-time synchronization, unified issue management, enhanced 3D visualization, and integrated workflows that adapt to how users like to work instead of interrupting their workflows.

“We are excited by what our partner Newforma has achieved with their new integration capabilities,” said Brian Hughes, vice president of portfolio for engineering at AVEVA. “The ability to process BCF file format in AVEVA E3D Design, enabled by the BCFNode solution developed by Ingeloop, is a great additional tool for BIM users working on complex projects, building their digital assets.”

This integration is particularly important for users in industries such as chemicals, oil and gas, power and utilities, infrastructure, mining, manufacturing, and engineering, procurement, and construction (EPC). It addresses the critical need for seamless communication and issue management in large-scale, complex projects where multiple teams and disciplines must work in harmony.

For users, this integration means:

Improved collaboration across disciplinesReduced risk of miscommunication and errorsEnhanced visibility into project issuesStreamlined workflows and reduced duplicate data entryBetter decision-making through improved information sharing

“Our goal was to bridge the gap between Newforma Konekt’s powerful project management features and AVEVA E3D Design’s advanced 3D capabilities,” Léo Salvador said. “This integration allows project teams to work more efficiently, reduce errors, and make informed decisions faster than ever before.”

OCR Canada Rebrands to Levata

Published

December 27, 2024

TORONTO, Dec. 27, 2024 /CNW/ — OCR Canada Ltd., Canada’s leading solutions provider of automated identification data capture (AIDC) products, software, and services for businesses across industries and government organizations, is pleased to announce its rebrand to Levata as of January 1, 2025. This transition unites Canada’s operations with Levata’s global identity, streamlining the company’s messaging while honoring OCR Canada’s more than 40-year legacy of trusted service and expertise.

The name OCR, which originally stood for Optical Character Recognition, reflects a technology that no longer represents the company’s comprehensive offerings. Rebranding to Levata supports the broader strategic vision of uniting Levata across markets under one multinational brand to better communicate the full value Levata delivers to its customers.

“This rebrand is an exciting milestone for Canada,” said Tony Mastrangeli, Executive Vice President & GM of Canada. “While our name is changing, the exceptional service, expertise, and relationships our customers rely on remain the same. Levata will continue to empower businesses with tailored solutions, just as OCR Canada has for more than 40 years.”

The transition follows a successful history of growth in Canada, with OCR Canada joining Levata in 2014. Since then, the Canadian arm has expanded its expertise through strategic acquisitions and established itself as a leading provider of AIDC solutions across industries.

“This rebrand marks the next step in Levata’s long-term vision,” said Dan Nettesheim, CEO of Levata. “By uniting under a single, global identity, we are amplifying our global message that we enable our customers to elevate their potential. Today, we provide solutions beyond OCR and barcoding, we also offer leading technology and services for enterprise mobility, RFID, networking, IT infrastructure, and more to help customers succeed in a competitive and rapidly evolving market.”

To complement this transformation, Levata Canada will launch a French-enabled eCommerce platform in January 2025, further enhancing customer access and experience.
