At the recent launch of SolidWorks 2009, Innova was presented with two awards. The first was for “Application Engineer of the Year” for 2007. Innova's Technical Director Tomek Worland received this award in recognition of the outstanding level of technical support that he has provided to Innova's SolidWorks clients. The second award was the “Multi-product Reseller of the Year” Award.

"SolidWorks offers an extensive suite of engineering design products," said Mark. "The award recognises the effort that we have put into introducing these technologies to our clients and the support and training that we have also been able to provide. Once again, we are very pleased to have this recognition, it’s a boost for the whole team."

"It's been really good to receive this recognition," said Mark. "At Innova we make technical support and training our highest priority, so that our clients get the commercial benefits of this technology as soon as possible, such that they are never held up with design issues. Tomek is indeed an outstanding engineer and we are very proud of his achievement."

The 'Multi Product Award' is in recognition of Innova's achievement to introduce new SolidWorks technologies to the marketplace. These include SolidWorks Simulation, a powerful Design Validation tool that helps engineers simulate real world conditions as well as Enterprise PDM, a powerful tool for managing design information and improving operational efficiency.

In recent years, the SolidWorks engineering software package has helped revolutionise product design around the world. SolidWorks enables mechanical engineers and product designers to create complex shapes and assemblies for manufacturing in a wide range of materials for a broad range of industries, from furniture design to oil rigs. As well as the capability to create 3D models, SolidWorks offers additional facilities that enable engineers to analyse the computer model for real-world behaviour such as strength, weight and performance.

"SolidWorks 2009 is very impressive," said Mark Bradford, Managing Director of Innova Systems. "This release incorporates many new features that will benefit a wide range of designers. Yet again, SolidWorks have listened to their customers and worked hard to deliver a powerful design and engineering tool that is easy to use, where effort is focused on the design rather than on learning a complicated CAD package. Designers and engineers have high expectations of SolidWorks these days, I'm pleased to say that they won't be disappointed with the 2009 version."
