CAMBRIDGE, England, June 8 /PRNewswire-Asia/
-- AVEVA Group plc (LSE:AVV), one of the world's leading providers
of engineering data and design IT systems to the plant, power and
marine industries, today announced that it has joined the Business
Software Alliance (BSA),the foremost organization dedicated to
promoting a safe and legal digital world.
"It is with great pleasure that we announce
AVEVA's membership in the Business Software Alliance," said Richard
Longdon, Chief Executive of AVEVA. "BSA is a strong voice for the
software industry on key policy, business and legal issues -- from
software piracy to cybersecurity."
"Software piracy is a major industry concern.
It is not a victimless crime; it damages businesses like AVEVA,
which create technologies that the world relies on and it imperils
the livelihoods of the skilled professionals we employ. More
importantly, the danger with the use of pirated software in the
engineering industries that AVEVA serves is that can put lives at
risk. We look forward to working with BSA and its members to tackle
these issues and promote the interests of the technology industry
and the many businesses we support."
Robert Holleyman, president and CEO of
Business Software Alliance, said: "BSA and AVEVA share a common
goal in tackling the threats of software piracy. We are excited
about AVEVA becoming member of BSA as it will no doubt prove to be
a critical partner by lending its voice to important policy,
education and enforcement initiatives that foster IT growth in the
global marketplace."
"The success of our organization and our
industry relies largely on success of our member companies -- and
AVEVA has proven itself to be not only a success, but an industry
leader. We look forward to working with this dynamic company," said
BSA's Holleyman.
