HUNTSVILLE, Ala., March 27, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Intergraph@ Process,
Power & Marine, the world's leading provider of enterprise engineering
software for the design, construction and operation of plants, ships
and offshore facilities, announced today that its Technical User Forum
(TUF) groups have surpassed the 10,000-member milestone. Intergraph's
TUF groups provide an online peer-to-peer discussion forum for
year-round global networking between users of Intergraph software,
allowing them to share expertise, knowledge and best practices as well
as interact with Intergraph product owners.
Current official groups include:
-- SmartT 3D (incorporates SmartPlant@ 3D / SmartMarine@ 3D)
-- SmartPlant Electrical
-- SmartPlant Enterprise for Owner Operators (SPO)
-- SmartPlant Foundation (SPF)
-- SmartPlant Instrumentation
-- SmartPlant Materials
-- SmartPlant Piping & Instrumentation Diagram (SP P&ID)

The TUF groups have consistently achieved month-over-month growth in
membership since Intergraph began tabulating group statistics in
January 2012. Total TUF group membership recently surpassed 10,000
with the largest group, Smart 3D, currently exceeding 2,200 members.
Patrick Holcomb, Intergraph Process, Power & Marine's executive vice
president of global business development and marketing, said, "Most of
our membership has come from word of mouth, so growing from zero to
over 10,000 user-group members in a few years is a tremendous
statement about what users think of the new online user forums.
Intergraph TUF groups provide a channel for users of PP&M's
innovative solutions to network with peers globally and stay abreast
of technical and commercial updates. We continue to receive great
feedback and see growth in active discussions among group members. We
look forward to expanding these forums for the benefit of Intergraph
client members and our employees."

solutions to interact and share information with each other and
product owners globally, regionally and 24/7. Online engagement

meetings, while global chairpersons can organize global TUF group
meetings, collect input for meeting agendas and receive feedback from
technical users.
