selects Intergraph software and ScanLife launches revamped app
Eurochannel, an innovative television network which provides
access to European television content, has launched in the US. The
company now offers its new "Eurochannel: On Demand" service to
cable customers across North America.
The new service aims to provide high-quality, European-focussed
content to an untapped American audience, with customers able to
choose from a wide range of on-demand TV series, movies and
documentaries. Popular titles from countries including Poland, Estonia, Spain and Italy will be made available to rent for 48
hours through Dailymotion, each in their original version with
English subtitles. The unique service is available now through the
DISH Network, and can be accessed via the Google Play Store by any

Samsung Heavy Industries (SHI), the Korean heavy-duty ship
manufacturer, has announced a new partnership with leading
geospatial software providers Intergraph, with a view to
implementing its new SmartMarine 3D software in the company's
offshore division.
SmartMarine 3D will allow SHI to implement the latest in
rule-based spatial technology, providing the manufacturer with the
ability to produce a higher volume of complex and technically
precise industry-ready vessels in a shorter space of time. The
decision by SHI to roll out the software was made after a highly
successful trial period, which "delivered a tremendous saving in
man-hours over [the company's] traditional design
methods".
The software has been widely recognised as an industry-leading
offshore ship building package, allowing manufacturers to increase
their productivity by an impressive 30 per cent whilst also
ensuring a higher level of quality and detail in all
products.
ScanLife, a world-leading developer of mobile-based engagement
solutions, has launched the new version of its popular mobile
application, giving loyal users access to several innovative new
features.

from within the ScanLife app, which will then automatically
search for the popularity of scanned products with other users and
across social networks such as Twitter and Facebook. App users can
gain instant access to peer reviews of products and services, share
their favourite items with their network of friends, and can even
link their favourite scans directly to their Facebook page on iOS.
The new app is also available on Android.
