AGR IMPROVE ENGINEERING PROCESSES TENFOLD WITH NEW TECHNOLOGY
AGR Engineers are delighted with performance improvements that software specialist
Codify recently implemented. Earlier this year Codify suggested running a proof
of concept on their P1 software to illustrate the benefits of "High Performance
Computing (HPC)" technology. Following a successful proof of concept, Codify was
commissioned to apply the new technology to P1 resulting in a tenfold improvement
in processing times.
Codify's Operations Director, Graeme Humphrey, explains: "The successful project
we carried out for AGR stemmed from our research into Microsoft Compute Cluster
Server - part of Microsoft's HPC technology offering. We immediately realised that
this technology would be of huge benefit to the P1 product and presented the case
for a proof of concept to AGR."
He continues "Here at Codify, we go beyond providing software or support. When we
make a discovery, design or enhance new software our thoughts turn to how this could
be applied to past, present and future client requirements."
Such was the case with AGR. The proof of concept was so successful that Codify was
commissioned to modify P1 to make use of the new technology.
Keith Wildridge of AGR said: "Codify have continued to impress us. For this project
they approached us with the new technology and drove the project from concept through
to completion. This attitude has benefited everyone since the improvements to our
software will provide enormous time savings for both our own and our clients' engineers."
