tsaADVET held a data transfer workshop for its Rail customers in Birmingham on the 8th July. CAB-i-NET is widely used within the Rail industry for managing drawings and associated documentation. CAB-i-NET customers shared their 
experiences of transferring data with their suppliers and customers. The data held in CAB-i-NET can be easily exported as it is not held in a proprietary vault based system unlike most other EDMS systems. Currently there are no standards defined for data transfer and this is something the group is looking to establish to bring efficiencies to all parties.
On Tuesday 17 May 2011 Magnox Ltd in association with the Welsh Assembly Government will host an event for existing and potential suppliers to the Magnox Fleet
across the UK. The fifth in a series of supplier events hosted by Magnox since early May 2009, this event will be held at Venue Cymru, Llandudno, North Wales and tsaADVET have been invited to attend and exhibit.
The day will commence with registration at 9.30am with the event itself starting promptly at 10am. The morning session will focus on Programmisation and Projects as well as the re-organisation of the Magnox Ltd business and what this means for the supply chain. In the afternoon they will focus on how they can work together in partnership to deliver benefits to the local economies in which Magnox works.
tsaADVET were asked by the Danish Bentley Data Management SIG to present the CAB-i-NET Suite of products. 
The meeting took place at COWI offices just outside Copenhagen and was attended by members of the group who currently use various systems including Bentley ProjectWise with some using no systems. A two hour presentation with the majority of the time being live demonstrations of CAB-i-NET being used to manage the creation and work flowing documents and drawings around a distributed organisation. Areas also included how CAB-i-NET can be effectively used to process drawings and documents being received from contractors including later versions during the life of the project.
Note: COWI A/S is an international consulting group, specialising in engineering, environmental science and economics, based in Lyngby, Denmark.

The presentations and information were received favourably by the delegates last Tuesday. Please find some of the
comments below:-
‘Thanks to you and your team for the excellent seminar.’
‘ We felt that the solution that you have developed is something that we should have adopted in the early years of our Programme, and are more than slightly envious of the functionality that your product offers that our current platform lacks.’
‘ There are always opportunities in the rail sector and I would have no hesitation in recommending your product for review when the time is right.’
‘We liked what we saw. It is entirely aligned with our own thinking.’
tsaADVET are looking forward to our next seminar later this year which will give us an opportunity to showcase our latest developments in the ever evolving CAB-i-NET Suite of software.
