Rated 4.1 out of 5 by 523 reviewers.
Rated 3 out of 5 by Twoscoops Placing the needs of a dog over my needs We stayed for 5 nights this property and we were having a great stay up to yesterday. The staff are so great and helpful in so many ways. Yesterday was a long day and decided to take a nap. I was awaken by the sound of a dog constantly barking. After 15 minutes or more of continuous barking, I had enough of it. I called the service desk and the only response I got from the person was "we are pet friendly" this was repeated to me several times. The person said there's nothing we can do. This is ridiculous, I am a dog lover, but I am also paying for a quiet room. When I asked to talk to the manager, she said she would send someone to the room the room that had the dog. About 30 mins later I could hear someone talking to the dog's owner. This is pathetic, the dog is still barking. How can you classify yourself as a five star property? You are placing the comfort of your guests behind the comfort of a dog. if people in the room next door were being disruptive, should I have to put up with it? Given the response from the service rep, please do not give me the "how sorry to hear your stay was disrupted by a dog." May 25, 2013
Rated 1 out of 5 by mecalderon2238 very noisy I usually love spg hotels. However some sort of party was happening all night in the presidential suite on the 16th floor. Many complaints were called but no results. My flight was at 0600 having to leave the hotel at 0430, unfortunately I had no sleep. Also, no free business center or lounge for platinum members, why not? December 11, 2012
Rated 4 out of 5 by Boston33 Slept great Rooms were quiet and beds very comfortable. October 27, 2014
Rated 1 out of 5 Hotel is OK; Guests Were Awful I stayed at the hotel Labor Day weekend for a wedding at a nearby hotel. While the room and amenities were standard for a Westin, there was some sort of youth olympics conference that weekend. My wife and i were unable to fall asleep Saturday and Sunday night as people were allowed to roam the halls screaming and yelling. Garbage was strewn amongst the hallways as well and it was impossible to reach hotel attendants during the weekend. Additionally, there was nobody working at the Gold/Platinum member desk when we checked in. While i am sure this was all the result of choosing to book a conference that got out of control, the experience was miserable. September 6, 2012
Rated 2 out of 5 by Digby Will not be back I attend and annual event at the Boston Convention Center that is attached to this hotel. I have been staying here since the hotel was first opened. It used to be one of the best places I have ever stayed but starting in 2012, it has started to go down hill. We arrived prior to check in so we had to check our bags. When our room was ready, my wife went to collect our bags since I was attending my conference. Upon arriving at the desk, a bellman retrieved our bags and promptly dropped them at my wife's feet and walked away. Never offering any further assistance. I had requested a high floor room, which was noted on my reservation. We were placed on the 6th floor. Is the 6th floor considered a high floor? And breakfast at the hotel was a disaster. Our waiter totally messed up our order and actually became surly when we asked the he make it right. Overall this hotel has really gone downhill. Staff is dwindling and at times rude. We won't be back. Plenty of other places in town. February 14, 2013
Rated 1 out of 5 by Mildred1 Unsatisfactory cleanliness of bathroom We stayed on 11-10-2012 in Room #822. The bathroom was not clean, the tub did not release the water, the sink plug did not work and behind the toilet there was black mould. We left the next day as I was really upset at the cleanliness for a king suite. Very disappointing. November 15, 2012
Rated 2 out of 5 by Braindame Disappointed I thought this would be a new hotel, green (per their promotion) in all senses. Instead the room was average, he water regulator in my shower didn't work so I was alternately scalded and cold. Also the sink drained slowly and the tub did not stopper to allow filling. Being green meant forgoing all cleaning for 3 days while he food was horribly processed, not local, and certainly not fresh or healthy. October 22, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by KingDaddio Great upgrade at Westin Watefront I had a wonderful stay at the Westin Waterfront which was kicked off by an upgrade to a two bedroom suite. October 24, 2014
Rated 2 out of 5 by amoct Finance department incompetent Beware business travelers: If you try to use a corporate credit card, the finance department has no idea how to bill the room to that specific card, and then use the employees credit card for ONLY incidentals. We added a night onto one out of two rooms, and the extra charge was put onto not only the incidental card, but it wasn't even the card of the person staying in the room we extended. Initially the charges for the rooms were also put onto my co-workers card. We explicitly asked them NOT to do this, and provided a corporate card. Trying to get a hold of someone to resolve this was also a major hassle. Many messages were left and not returned, emails not answered, etc. June 18, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by Traveler1962 Hotel Stay The buffet breakfast was very good and the service staff was excellent! We were very pleased with the concierge that was on duty on Friday and Saturday. However, .when making the reservation, we were not aware of the fact that the facility would be so far from the center of town and that we would have to do a great deal of traveling via subway and/or taxi cabs (costly). However, we were made aware of the shuttle service to Quincy Market that was available on weekend evenings. We found this service helpful and the driver extremely accommodating (Friday night). It would have been helpful to have that shuttle run earlier hours as well as having a shuttle service to the center of Boston. As it was, we needed to make 3 transfers on the T in order to get to Newbury St. On the way home, we took a taxi, which was costly and seemed to take the long way. December 6, 2011
Rated 4 out of 5 by susanaloca Breakfast before conference Since this hotel caters to individuals exhibiting and attending conferences, I don't understand why it would take an hour to get a simple breakfast (eggs and toast) or even have an order taken in a timely fashion. Ate breakast four times and did not want the buffet option. Taking the order took between 20 - 30 minutes and it took almost as long to get the food. Arriving at 9 to leave at 9:55 was not happening, so we ended up arriving at 8:45 in order to be able to be at our booth by 10. Hire more staff if they are overloaded for breakfast! Not consistent with the rest of the service in the hotel. October 12, 2012
Rated 4 out of 5 by Viqueen Friendly, helpful staff. Staff went out of their way to be helpful and servicing. October 21, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by SPG1 Lobby Bar not up to Westin standards Outside of the lobby bar, everything was fine..After supper (around 8 on Saturday night) we went to the Lobby Bar for cofffee. I ordered a coffee with whipped cream and my husband ordered an Irish coffee. I was told that no whipped cream was available so ok but the real disappointment was the coffee coming in a paper cup and at best being lukewarm. My husband's Irish coffee was even worse - cool, no whipped cream or any kind of garnish on top, and no rimming of the glass with sugar . As well, milk had already been added to the coffee without him being asked (he drinks it black)... however, he at least did get a glass cup. I could understand this if we were in a local diner but in the main lobby of the Westin? March 4, 2013
Rated 4 out of 5 by Duck10 hotel features thought the gift shop was good had large range of items to choose from for souvenirs to personal items. Would have liked more options for dinning in the hotel to crab a quick bite. Didn't get a chance to use the workout room but looked nice and friendly to use. had problems with internet getting connect in my room. October 17, 2014
Rated 3 out of 5 by DavidF almost... Great location, friendly staff but a number of unresolved problems. Internet connection was terrible. Kept throwing me off - could not keep a signal. Several colleagues had the same problem in different rooms on different floors. Desk chair falling apart. Not much help in either area when reported to desk or when called into tech support. Breakfast buffet was so-so. Better off the menu. October 14, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by SwordnStone Very accommodating! I was staying here because it is the hotel attached to PAXEast and I was thrilled with my stay. The Westin had been contacted beforehand about PAXEast attendees having a game night the night before PAXEast started. The Westin not only set up extra tables for us, but also allowed us to use a closed restaurant and set up bars with special gamer themed drinks and snacks. It was an amazing night and I was blown away by how accommodating and just plain nice the staff was for us. I would stay at this hotel again, even without a conference. April 6, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by Pomp The difference... There are many hotels that do a great job. Many in Boston. Over the past few years I have been staying at the Westin Boston Waterfront for the Boston Seafood Show and there is an employee there that makes all the difference in the world for a guest. Her name is Zoraida. She is a waitress at the Birch Bar and adds more value to your hotel than anyone in management will ever know. Do yourselves a favor and hire 50 more employees like her! Everyone at that property does a great job but Zoraida has always stood out from the crowd. Many people talk about her but I am not sure they have ever spent the time to write. I thought she deserved it. April 14, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Natacha The location is Perfect. Its location is perfect for the conference that I attended at the convention center. Did not had to take the bus or walk. October 16, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by 1634 Desk chair room 1120 Everything was great. The room had a desk chair in such bad condition The foam was sticking out all around the seat. Replace the chair. October 16, 2014
Rated 2 out of 5 by ClickPicTony Services and Staff Slipping I had stayed at the Westin Waterfront last year for PAX East and thought the facilities were fantastic. The service was very nice, the services were great, and the rooms were wonderful. Over the last year though the service and services have slipped tremendously and the current in room setup is very disappointing. I was originally told that my reservation (which actually was two reservations tied together) would not have issue but on Sunday myself and my roommates found out that our keycards were no longer working. When I went to the front desk to discuss the issue, they informed me that all of our keycards had been deactivated because of the separate reservations, but no one on the staff gave us any indication that this would occur beforehand. There was also what looked to be a fridge in the room that even had a BTU refrigeration rating on it but ended up not working and I ended up losing $20 in ice cream and a very nice $30 seafood meal from Union Oyster House because of it. There was no indication previously from the staff or from signs that the unit was not actually a working fridge. When I talked to the staff about it, they said that it was clear that it wasn't a fridge. When I pointed out to them that the unit had a refrigeration rating on it, they just said but there's nothing that can be done about it. Also my friends and I were trying to hang out late in the lobby, which we had done last year and they had done the last 2 years before that. At around 2am the staff kicked us out of the lobby with no warning about it and refused to listen to us when we were talking with them about how we had done this before or when asking where we could go from there. This same type of thing happened with throwing a pool party earlier that night where we had reserved the pool and wanted to have ice cream sandwiches in there, which we had done for the last two years but this time were kicked out of the pool area for with no one willing to work with us on some way of making our annual party still happen. The rooms were still very nice and the facilities were clean and pristine as usual, though I am not a fan of the shower design and how it gets water all over the floor of the bathroom, but seeing as we are a group that fills up the hotel and brings them a lot of business not only for rooms but also for restaurants and bars, I'd have expected more working with us and better service as a whole. Instead I received some quite poor service and regrettable times that made me and others question whether the convenience of staying there next year outways the terrible service me and many others in this community received. I hope that this can change. March 27, 2013
Rated 4 out of 5 by mwelbu01 Fire Alarm We stayed at this hotel after a very long day and night, and were awoken by a fire alarm. That is understood, but it followed for an hour at 2am of loudspeaker comments that never really made sense. Our night became very disruptive and we really found it hard to relax after a long day. Anyway, I completely understand and respect the needs of an emergency situation, but some of it was really poorly handled. Not quite sure if it was the hotel staff or not, so I really do not have a gripe with this hotel. When I contacted SPG about the incident, they were wonderful and really addressed my complaints quickly and were very understanding. Thanks SPG!! February 6, 2013
Rated 4 out of 5 by rae379 Great gym/pool area I stayed at this Westin for 3 nights, and overall I enjoyed it. The gym is large and has tons of machines (though no stair climber, which is a personal preference.) Having a heated pool/jacuzzi in the dead of winter is a great perk after long work days. Also the front desk staff was very accommodating and SPG status was well recognized. Only issue - more than once, I had to hail my own cab from the cab line and load my bags as no Westin staff were to be found out front of the hotel or even just inside. Also needed to regain baggage I had left with the bellmen, but again, no one at front of the hotel. I realize it's cold, so they don't have to stand outside all day... just keep eyes/ears out when guests are clearly trying to accomplish something that is their area of responsibility. January 26, 2013
Rated 2 out of 5 by Boston1905 Front Desk lacks training, common sense Let s start with the positive. The rooms are clean and comfortable. The front desk is populated by eager, minimally trained young persons. When an issue arose and a manager was asked to intercede, a haughty, uncooperative, assistant manager came from out back and refused to discuss the situation and walked away. I would not stay here (Boston/Waterfront) again and would caution others as well. I have stayed at many Westin Hotels and travel regularly both here and abroad. This was as unique, poor and amateurish front of house experience as I have ever experienced. This is NOT a Westin thing, this is a site specific comment. Avoid this particular Westin. February 3, 2014
Rated 2 out of 5 by SirJim Firdt & Last Time At Weston I have nothing good to say about the staff at this hotel. Not one smile, no help with our luggage, The only recognition of my SPG gold was "what do you want?" I didn't remember the options except for free wi-fi, so I selected that. When I tried to use the wi-fi, I got a page with the cost schedule, but no "complementary" option. So I gave up on the "free wi-fi." The breakfast was good but not worth $24. Of the 6 hotels I visited in the last 3 weeks, this was the most expensive breakfast - 3 of them were free breakfast !! 4 of the were SPG hotels.Also your web site lies!! It is NOT easy to get there from the airport when you are dragging luggage with you. April 21, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by flade62 Great location if attending a Boston Conference I loved the location of this hotel as I was attending a conference at the ajoining building. The hotel met my basic expectations for Westin hotels--ie: rooms, bed, cleanliness, shower head, shampoo, etc were all consistent. I was disappointed in the fact there was no SPG club. I was told it is because they are a conference hotel. I'm not sure what this has to do with providing an SPG club for frequent Starwood clients. I could have chosen one of the other Westin hotels in Boston ahd as I really enjoy the clubs. I also was not acknowledged as a Platinum member when I arrived. Although this is minor, in the scope of life, I did miss the acknowledgement. December 10, 2012
Rated 4 out of 5 by BevM Exactly what I expected I booked a same day reservation at this hotel on a recent business trip. It was exactly what I expected from a Westin. The bed and shower were great. The room was comfortable. The front desk had not been given my spg number, so did not know my status when I checked in. However, they tried to find me a room upgrade, and sent bottles of water up when I could not be on a preferred floor. That was very pleasant. We had drinks and dinner in the City Grill. The atmosphere was great, as were the drinks. The dinner was average. Our cab to the airport gouged us though. He would not turn on the meter, and charged a $22.50 flat fee. It was a five minute drive. January 24, 2013
Rated 4 out of 5 by MKinBCN A cut above This Westin is just superior to most other Westins that I've stayed at. The breakfast is fantastic, the rooms are well appointed, clean and comfortable. The staff is helpful and pleasant. Check-in is a bit slow, they need more people at the desk - and they should have a dedicated line for SPG Gold and Platinum members. Food options are good and room service was above average. Great location in the Seaport - my favorite area in the city. December 10, 2012
Rated 5 out of 5 by Katz23 Amazing Hotel and Staff This hotel has one of the the most friendly and professional staff I have ever encountered we were checked in by Matt T. when we got to our room which was very clean and nice but did not have a waterfront view which we had requested we called and within minutes Matt called wished us a Merry Christmas and we were relocated to of all things the presidential suite AMAZING . Sharon the concierge is the sweetest woman you will ever meet and anything you need she will make it happen You can not go wrong staying at this hotel you might not get the Presidential suite but you will not be disapointed. Thank you Matt and Sharon you made our Christmas in Boston unforgettable. December 28, 2012
Rated 5 out of 5 by mh3265a Outstanding Service Had a wonderful one night stay here the night of Oct 30th. Came up to watch Game 6 of the World Series and stayed at the Westin Waterfront. The service from staff was great. I particularly appreciated the welcome and service from Calvin at the front desk. He recognized my gold status and truly appreciative of my business and loyalty. I've only had that type of service at one other SPG property. He was a true professional and helped to make the trip a success. He worked to get us a room ready before normal check-in hours. He went above and beyond and it made the trip perfect. I'll stay here again when I'm in the city. November 1, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by rikkitann Fantastic Experience! My boyfriend and I arrived at the Westin for a one night stay. As we were walking to the front desk to check in, we were greeted with a big smile from Greg! He was extremely nice and inquired about the nature of our visit. Greg put us in an amazing room with a 15th floor city view! After we had returned from dinner, Greg was kind enough to provide us with a couple of bottles of water before we headed back up to the room to enjoy the night view of the city! It is rare to receive such impeccable customer service and Greg deserves to be recognized for his excellence! This was definitely a memorable stay thanks to Greg! July 7, 2013

Metro Denver unadjusted unemployment rate 7.4% in December

Metro Denver's unadjusted unemployment rate stood at 7.4 percent in December, unchanged from November and down from 7.9 percent in December 2011, according to raw county jobs estimates released Friday by the Colorado Department of Labor and Employment.
The 7.4 percent jobless rate is for a 10-county area that includes Denver, Aurora, Lakewood, Broomfield and Centennial but not Boulder County.
With the inclusion of Boulder County, which had a jobless rate of 5.5 percent last month, the unadjusted regional unemployment rate stood at 7.3 percent in December, down from 7.7 percent in the same month of 2011, CDLE reported.
> STATEWIDE: Colorado loses 2,400 payroll jobs, but unemployment eases to 7.6%
By county, last month's unadjusted jobless rates in the region ranged from a low of 5.5 percent in Boulder County and 5.6 percent in Clear Creek County to a high of 8.9 percent in Adams County, the raw figures show. The rate in Denver County was 8.0 percent.
A survey of households in the 10-county Denver area (not including Boulder) showed total employment at 1,311,090 last month, up from 1,290,096 a year earlier. There were 104,769 unemployed people in metro Denver last month, CDLE said.
Elsewhere in Colorado, last month's unadjusted jobless rate was 5.9 percent in the Fort Collins-Loveland area, 8.4 percent in the Greeley area, 8.6 percent in the Grand Junction area and 8.8 percent in the Colorado Springs area.
> Click here to download new state metro-area and county employment data in Excel spreadsheet format.
Unlike the statewide unemployment rate, the county and metro-area numbers are not adjusted for normal seasonal job fluctuations and are therefore not considered directly comparable to the adjusted state data.
Also, year-over-year comparisons of the unadjusted rates are considered more valid than changes from one month to the next, which could be pushed up or down by normal seasonal changes in hiring that are removed when adjusted rates are reported.

sign UFA defender like: Ian White, Wisniewski, Hannan, Montador, Babchuk, Woywitka
Nice argument there.
Carle's not a UFA or RFA. Leclaire and Hedberg are no better than Boosh. Pretty much every forward you listed (other than maybe Sturm, Moreau, Gagne, Fedotenko, Torres (who is a psycho) and Dupuis) is going to get at least $3 million. Wisniewski will get at least $4.5 million, if not more, while White and Hannan probably won't be in our price range either. Montador and Woywitka are both probably as good as O'Donnell. Only one I'd really want is Babchuk.

A Taste of Rome
by Food 1 Reactions 0 Shares Print
Leave it to the folks over at the premium cable channels to come up with another fun marketing campaign. This time HBO has graced 100 Italian restaurants in LA, NY and Chicago with bottles of Rome wine. The cabernet sauvingnon, which is bottled in California, will be offered free to patrons. Each table will have a card that states:
And our house wine tonight is brought to you by HBO. A taste of 'Rome' awaits you. Ask server for details.
I'm not sure what the entire marketing strategy is, but I wonder if it will cause as much buzz as rival Showtime's clever Weeds brownie promotion.

Turner Broadcasting just inked a deal with NBC Universal that puts a bunch of movies, including this winter's King Kong, on its networks in 2008. Not sure if the NBC network had the first right of refusal on that movie, but you would think so.
Along with King Kong, Turner also bought the rights to air these movies in 2008:

2014 ACI UK Dealing Simulation Course - another huge success
The 2014 Dealing Simulation Course (17-21 November), run in association with ACI Australia, was another massive success. 27 delegates from banks, brokers, platforms and vendors learned exactly how the FX trading environment works in a very intensive 5 day programme. As well as gaining hands on trading and broking experience, delegates heard from industry experts on topics including Forwards, FX Options, Clearing, Settlement, Risk, Regulation etc. Our sincere thanks to UK DSC 2014 sponsors Bloomberg, EBS and LCH Clearnet for their support. Thanks too to our guest presenters (in order they presented) - Roger Hawes, Julian Gladwin - CLS, Chris Dudley - Bloomberg, Kathleen Brooks - GAIN, Jon Healey - BBVA, Basu Choudhury - LCH Clearnet, Alex McDonald - WMBA and Noel Singh - ABN AMRO for their expert presentations and for giving up their time to support us. Last but not least, especial thanks to Chris Howlett (ACI Australia) and Garry Lartin (Thomson Reuters Australia), Alan Clarke (BBVA), Darryl Hooker (EBS), Reny Morsch (Eurex) and Sue Attwood (Markit) for the enormous commitment of time/effort they all gave to delivering another fantastic ACI educational programme.

ACI UK leading the debate at key industry events
In recent months ACI UK President Morgan McDonnell has spoken at a number of industry events including September's Eurofinance Budapest 2014. Click here to view his presentation. On 20 November, he joined a panel of experts at the annual Recent Developments in the Market Abuse Regime conference, discussing FX Benchmarking ce (City and Financial Global).
Marshall Bailey, ACI global president will speak at the forthcoming FXInvest Europe, Frankfurt, February 2015. To discuss ACI UK participation in your event, contact Jake Smith.
The final report and recommendations of the Financial Stability Board Benchmark Consultation were published yesterday following consultation with industry bodies and trade associations including ACI. Amongst its recommendations was 'stronger demonstration by market participants of compliance with the codes of the various foreign exchange committees as well as internal codes of conduct.....stronger demonstration of compliance could also take the form of yearly reconfirmation of the codes (both internal and external) by sales and traders through specific training and regular exams'. The Report goes on to say 'We would expect more public endorsement of the codes by various foreign exchange committees and their member banks' and specifically acknowledges that the ACI Model Code is already used in many jurisdictions.
Contact ACI UK for more information about implementing the ACI Model Code and/or to discuss ACI's suite of accredited exams, including the ACI Model Code Certificate.

The technology used to conceive, design and fabricate the objects around us is complicated. It may be difficult to understand if you're not a practitioner, yet businesses routinely entrust their most important processes to these tools. Our Hot Topics blog tries to clear up some of the confusion.

Hot Topics
Autodesk customers flocking to subs, boost FQ3
Autodesk reported results last night that show its transition to subscriptions is picking up steam. Total revenue was up 11% to $618 million, knocking both its own forecast of around $600 million and the investment analyst consensus out of the park. Delcam, acquired roughly a year ago, contributed approximately $14 million but would have been factored into in management's guidance. It was subscriptions that made the difference, up 15% year/year, adding 121,000 new subscriptions (maintenance, rentals and cloud)in fiscal Q3 and is on-target to add 325,000 to 375,000 net subscribers this year, up from earlier forecasts of 200,000 to 250,000. That's a 50% overage; I'll be at AU in a couple of weeks to learn why and when customers are switching to subs. One thing to note: Subscriber data got a one-time bump because Autodesk decided to begin including Delcam subs in its count; that accounts for 25,000 of the company's 121,000 added in FQ3 — but 96,000 ex-Delcam is still a solid number in any event.
In all, Q3's strength led the company to raise its forecast for fiscal 2015 (ending January 31). Autodesk now sees revenue growth of between 9% and 10% for the year, as compared to earlier predictions of 7% to 9% growth. That means a Q4 forecast of revenue between $640 million to $655 million.
AEC was the standout segment, with revenue up 17% to $217 million, as suites revenue grew 23% year/year. Manufacturing segment revenue increased 1% to $170 million while revenue from the Media and Entertainment segment declined 2% to $43 million. Finally, revenue from Platform Solutions and Emerging Business segment were up 3% to $188 million.
By geo, revenue from the Americas increased 11% to $231 million; EMEA revenue was up 17% to $238 million and revenue from APAC increased 5% to $149 million (all as reported). Revenue from emerging economies represented 15% of total revenue in FQ3, about on par with earlier quarters.
CEO Carl Bass said in a press release, "Strong billings and revenue growth was driven by strength in several areas including suites, our Architecture, Engineering and Construction (AEC) and Manufacturing business segments, large deal activity, and double-digit growth in all three of our major geographies on a constant currency basis. We continue to make meaningful progress in our transition to a more recurring, subscription-based business, adding approximately 121,000 subscriptions and more flexible enterprise license agreements. As a result, deferred revenue increased significantly to a record $1 billion. These strong results have led us to raise our outlook for billings and revenue for fiscal 2015 for the third time this year."
I think those flexible enterprise agreements mentioned by Mr. Bass have a lot to do with jumpstarting growth — but more to come once I've parsed the details.
Long Beach lessons: Simulate in 1D/3D, add test for better decisions
What a difference a year makes! At the 2013 NX CAE Symposium, Siemens introduced its LMS acquisition to long-time NX CAE, NX Nastran and Femap users; this year, LMS' products turned up in nearly every presentation, highlighting the important integration of 1D and 3D simulation with test and PLM. Rather than trying to explain what LMS' portfolio brings to the table, Siemens let its customers explain how it all fits together for both model-based engineering and the enterprise as a whole.
Presenters spoke about their particular design challenges and integrating simulation earlier and more often into their processes, moving away from digitizing bend-and-break to actually exploring design alternatives early enough for them to have an impact on the final decisions. One company* highlighted the use of LMS Imagine.Lab Amesim in proposal writing, for very early what-if analyses. That's an awesome idea: Why offer to do something that's not economically or technically possible? Why spend a lot to figure this out, with more complicated 3D tools, if the contract might not ultimately be awarded to you?
Other speakers covered Model-Based System Engineering (MBSE), a concept which has an official definition but is still a fuzzy, ill-defined idea for many. Everyone can agree, though, that MBSE is a worthy approach, saving time and money and improving quality — if only we can get there. MBSE models are complex and take time to build. One speaker, therefore, suggested his company's approach: building high-level models to keep "on the shelf", ready for use when needed. His point: adding details and modifying models is faster than building them from scratch, leading to greater agility and customer responsiveness.
The return on investment in CAE is a function of this reuse, but also of increasing familiarity with the tools offset by the growing complexity of the systems being modeled; that's too hard to quantify, so most organizations no longer seem to be trying. We used to hear a lot of "didn't build and crash 5 prototypes so save thousands of dollars" — not this time. Today, CAE is used to be more creative, validate assumptions, reach new opportunities and do it all more quickly. Companies are setting performance targets for their products and then modeling and simulating until they get as close as possible, in a multidomain world that encompasses cost, function, safety, manufacturability and many other factors. These iterations enable engineering teams to make the best possible decisions by knowing the impact of any particular change, well before it's made in the physical world.
Siemens PLM didn't make any earthshaking announcements during the event, but did give a further glimpse into its simulation and test product strategy — and it's just what you'd expect, given the breadth of the portfolio. Jim Rusk, Sr. VP Product Engineering Software told us that we should think of NX as an innovation platform; design, simulation, mechatronics, manufacturing line design and so on, are all apps in that environment. NX 10, available in December, includes
- multiphysics improvements such as structural/thermal interactions with 1-way & 2-way coupling
- enhancements to let users solve coupled problems on the same mesh, with common element types, properties, boundary conditions, and solver controls
- a new expression management system for describing complex boundary conditions, and
- adaptive meshing for improved solution speed and accuracy
among many other things, like a touch interface — go here for a more comprehensive list.
Mr. Rusk laid out a timetable for the integration of NX and LMS tools, but was clear that this was not intended to exclude third-party solutions: "Openness is key, and has been part of our strategy all along. We have good, longstanding relationships with other [commercial] providers."
Back to the Siemens portfolio. Siemens continues to bring LMS and NX together, and is devoting a lot of resources at areas like complex acoustics and fluid-structure interactions. You may recall that LMS bought Samcef just before Siemens bought LMS; in NX 10, Siemens introduces a new NX CAE environment for the Samcef solver to model composite delamination and calculate ply stresses due to vibration. Even better: integration between NX, Samcef and Fibersim, so that composite models designed in Fibersim can be analyzed in Samcef. The overall plan builds on the LMS Virtual Lab / NX CAE workflows introduced in 2013 (NX 9) and extends out to 2018 (NX 13), and includes the integration of acoustics, MBD, durability and NVH. Said Rusk, "when we're done, we'll have market leading capabilities."
I think Siemens PLM already has market-leading capabilities in many areas, but they're not yet well integrated where they cross brands. That's only to be expected — LMS and Siemens co-existed but were not particularly closely aligned before the acquisition and it takes time to bring together such established tool sets. The goal, however, is clear: create a closed-loop, systems-driven product development environment, which defines, validates and tracks performance requirements to make sure that the product that hits the street/shelf/skies is what the customer wants.
One user said it better than I can: "No software will do everything. The ones to choose will work well together and be best at what they do." Siemens is serious about this, investing in best-of-breed solutions and knitting them together, while making the technology better, more capable and easier to use.
* Siemens PLM asked me not to identify which customer presenter said what. Take a look at the agenda to see, in general, who spoke.
Image above is of the Queen Mary, the venue for the 2014 Siemens CAE & Test Symposium. If you're in the Long Beach, CA area, the Queen Mary is worth a visit. Much of it is open to the public for free but a $10 tour can make her come alive for you.
Note: Siemens graciously covered some of the expenses associated with my participation at the event but did not in any way influence the content of this post.
Quickie: Cimatron's Q3 up 8% y/y
Cimatron just reported results for Q3. Revenue was up 8% year/year to $11.2 million, making it the 18th consecutive quarter with year/year revenue growth in constant currencies. The company has been pressured to articulate a strategy for additive manufacturing, for competing with Delcam (now part of the Autodesk family), and for using cash for dividends vs. acquisitions — it's good to see that all of these factors aren't distractions from growing the business.
CEO Danny Haran said in the earnings press release, "The solid year-over-year revenue growth in the quarter came from both our product lines and from both new license revenues as well as maintenance revenues … Our product rollout for 2014 is progressing as planned. CimatronE version 12 was released in Q3 to growing acclaim for its many new capabilities. The next milestone is the GibbsCAM 2015 release towards the end of the year."
The company will provide more details during its conference call. I'll be in the air and will update after I listen to the replay.
Philae lands and tweets!
We take a break from our earnings and conference coverage for a space update: Rosetta's little Philae probe has landed! Philae sent back this picture, taken from a height of 3 km just before it landed at around 11AM ET:
All sorts of cool images and video are here: http://new.livestream.com/esa/cometlanding and http://www.esa.int/Our_Activities/Space_Science/Rosetta.
It's possible that this wasn't the smooth landing everyone was looking for. CNN says the lander may have bounced — but it doesn't seem to matter, since Philae is sending data. In fact, the lander is tweeting:
I probably would have taken a nap after such a dramatic arrival, but whatever. If Philae wants to tweet, I'll tune in.
Why does this landing matter? If we can learn what makes up a comet and how it interacts with solar wind, we can refine our models about the formation of the universe. But it's even better than that: Because comets apparently pose tough engineering challenges: very low gravity; composed of ice, dust and rocks; irregular shapes; hard to predict. A ten year journey to a tiny dot in space. Even if the landing bounced, this judge gives it a 10. W00t!
Top image courtesy of ESA; bottom is a screen capture of Philae's twitter account. Not sure how to assign rights to that … If you know, tell me and I'll fix.
AVEVA announces H1, inline with September reset
AVEVA today announced fiscal H1 2015 revenue of £86 million, down 21% year/year — basically as announced in October. The good news: no new bad news.
I still need to parse the details, but at a high level:
- The company reported strength in China, India and parts of EMEA, offset by weakness in the key markets of South Korea and Brazil.
- AVEVA Everything 3D (aka E3D) is "now a meaningful contributor to revenue, with an acceleration in larger deals during the period" — hope to find out more about that since customers at AVEVA's user conference last month showed huge interest but are slow to roll out the new generation product. often alongside PDMS.
- The press release includes this teaser: "Negotiated new multi-year deals with Global Accounts at improved pricing, with AVEVA E3D an important driver". E3D has premium pricing and it's great to see that the price held even though AVEVA must have pushed pretty hard to close deals, knowing that H1 was going to massively disappoint investors.
- AVEVA has put in place a cost containment program that is expected to generate about £10 million in savings in H2.
CEO Richard Longdon is quoted in the press release as saying, "Whilst the first half financial performance has been disappointing, the underlying fundamentals of the business have not changed given our market leading technology and long-term customer relationships. Despite the macro-economic environment, there are a number of steps we are proactively taking to ensure that we remain focused on long-term growth in revenue and profitability. We continue to maintain a strong balance sheet, with high levels of cash generation and highly defensible positions in our chosen markets, all of which are underpinned by long-term structural growth drivers. As a result, we anticipate achieving a result in the current fiscal year in line with the Board's expectations."
It looks as though London City analysts are modeling revenue of about £220 million for fiscal 2015, which would be a 7% decline year/year. In case you're wondering how that's possible, AVEVA's revenue has historically been weighted very heavily towards H2, enabling it to make up some ground — sales of E3D should also help boost H2.
More when I've had the chance to go over the investor materials and briefing.
Take a break and watch Engineering Happiness
I'm on a plane, making my way to the Dassault Systèmes 3D Experience Forum in Las Vegas. You, however, have Wifi so connect your speakers and groove to this lovely video:
Bentley showed this last week at the start of the Year in Infrastructures Awards Banquet, and it got the house … happy. The video, commissioned by the Institute of Civil Engineers and Bechtel, shows some of London's infrastructure projects, including Crossrail, Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park, the Thames Barrier, parts of the London Underground and Kings Cross Station. The point: engineers make a difference and have fun, too. Someone from Bentley told me that the Institute created the video to get young people interested in a career in engineering — some of the "dancers" are actually quite famous in UK civil engineering circles. To me, it's a bunch of people grooving to "Happy" by Pharrell Williams. How can you not?
Serious content coming soon. Dance while you can!
PTC beats Q4 expectations; disappoints on F15 outlook
So, it's 11 PM here in London, Bentley's Year in Infrastructure winners have been announced (and they're partying hard downstairs — congrats to you and all of the finalists; it was a tough, tough contest) but back in the real world, PTC announced results for Q4 and fiscal 2014. There's no way I'm able to parse this to any level of detail right now , so here are the highlights:
- GAAP revenue in Q4 was $367 million, up 6% year/year
- In Q4, the non-GAAP revenue contribution from acquired businesses Enigma, NetIDEAS, ThingWorx, Atego and Axeda was $16 million. Since GAAP and non-GAAP were within $1 million, this means organic revenue grew about 2%
- Back to a composite view: license revenue in Q4 was $113 million, up 7%
- Services revenue was essentially flat at $72 million
- Support revenue was up 9% to $182 million
- Details on license vs maintenance, geos, etc. to come.
- For the year, GAAP revenue was $1,357 million, up 5% as reported. Acquisitions accounted for $24 million in non-GAAP revenue; excluding those, revenue was up 3% over fiscal 2013.
In the earnings press release, CEO Jim Heppelmann is quoted as saying, "[In Q4] PTC non-GAAP revenue and EPS exceeded the high end of our guidance range, driven by solid performance across multiple businesses and geographic regions. Non-GAAP license revenue of $113 million increased 7% year over year on a constant currency basis. From a geographic perspective, on a constant currency basis, non-GAAP license revenue in Europe was up 28%, in the Americas was up 14%, in Japan was up 7%, and in the Pacific Rim was down 29% … For the second straight quarter we saw strong growth in our core CAD and Extended PLM (EPLM) businesses. EPLM license revenue grew 11% year over year on a constant currency basis driven by growth in our ALM business versus a soft compare in Q4'13. CAD license revenue was up 9% year over year on a constant currency basis, helped by strong growth in sales of Creo modules, eLearning, and a multi-million dollar license purchase of one of our heritage products." [Might that be my old friend, CADDS?]
PTC also gave guidance for fiscal 2015, saying it sees "indications of a slowdown in manufacturing activity in Europe, Japan, and China, which may result in fewer large deals and mega deals in FY'15 relative to FY'14. These challenges notwithstanding, we are encouraged by an expanding pipeline of opportunities, particularly in our SLM & IoT businesses, which are less tied to macroeconomic trends in the manufacturing space." Cutting to the numbers, Q1 non-GAAP revenue is projected to be between $310 million and $325 million, while full-year fiscal 2015 revenue is targeted at $1,365 million to $1,385 million, slightly better than flat-ish.
Topic switch. It's Guy Fawkes night here, when Brits light bonfires and fireworks to commemorate the day in 1605 when (yup) Guy Fawkes and his friends tried to blow up the House of Lords here in London to kill the king and put a Catholic on the throne. The plot failed, and the fireworks are a celebration of the fact that King James I survived (and presumably, the Lords did too). My phone's weather app has a fog warning for London, as the bonfires and fireworks will create dangerous driving conditions. Who knew??
More to come when there's time.
ANSYS has a decent Q3 but disappoints on outlook for Q4
ANSYS just announced that revenue for Q3 was $234 million, smack in the middle of its guidance but still below Wall Street expectations, so expect the share to open down a bit today. Also likely to not help with the share price: Q4 guidance of $243.9 million to $251.9 million, versus expectations of over $260 million. In its Q2 earnings release, the company had seen 2014 total revenue of between $937 million and $954 million; today, it lowered that target to GAAP revenue in the range of $926 million to $934 million. Why? A "softening in the Company's European business, weakness in sales from the Company's independent channel partner in China and the strengthening of the U.S. Dollar. The strengthening of the U.S. Dollar accounts for approximately half of the fourth quarter revenue guidance reduction."
I'm in London at the Bentley Year in Infrastructure conference so will have to do a more detailed writeup later, but here are the quick highlights:
- Total revenue was up 10% year/year to $234 million
- Software revenue was up 8% y/y to $140 million
- Maintenance and service revenue as up 13% to $94 million
- In Q3, ANSYS saw "double-digit [revenue] growth in both North America and GIA [the General International Area], offset by weakness in Europe, most notably in Germany. The key financial metrics of the business … were in line with or better than management's Q3 2014 outlook and continued to demonstrate solid financial performance with the fundamentals of the business model remaining
More when there's time to listen to the earnings call replay.
Quickie: London, bristling with infrastructure projects
Yesterday marked the start of the 2014 edition of Bentley's Year In Infrastructure conference. COO Malcolm Walter told us that he counted over 100 cranes while looking out the window at Bentley's London offices –and I can see something like 20 from my hotel room window– so it's clearly the place to hold a conference on all things building/civil/mining/plant/offshore.
My day started early, as the plant/process/offshore jury revisited the finalist projects in our categories and got ready for the presentation sessions today. Once again, I'm so impressed with how seriously everyone takes this process: the entrants work so hard on their projects and on getting their submissions together. The juries try hard to understand the projects and what makes them unique and creative. Bentley shepherds us all along, trying to keep the process on track. Today, it all comes together as the finalists get one last chance to impress, then we hand over our decisions and wait for tomorrow night's banquet. It's a big deal to make it this far, and all finalists are to be congratulated.
Bentley also held a press/analyst briefing yesterday afternoon. You can track it as it happened by checking my Twitter feed (@monica_schnitge) or searching for the #YII2014 hashtag. Highlights included
- a refresh of the Bentley product portfolio under the CONNECT Edition badge that's a hybrid desktop/cloud/on-premise/mobile computing environment and a cleaner UI, while still supporting the MicroStation V8i DGN file format
- tighter integration with Trimble for construction modeling –temporary works, sequencing, fabrication detailing, workface planning, construction work packaging and so on– to make the design to construction hand-off more efficient
- integration of Bentley's point-cloud technology with Siemens' Tecnomatix for realistic simulation of industrial manufacturing plants
- the introduction of MineCycle, new products to help the mining industry with mine planning. Not my area of expertise, but I had breakfast with some of the team today and learned that MineCycle Designer, Survey and Material Handling helps mining engineers figure out how to exploit the natural resource while taking into account all sorts of real and anticipated conditions. The way the product was developed is also interesting: Bentley worked with a syndicate of industry players to direct the project, giving them direct input into the what, how and when of the software's definition
Lots more to come, but now I'm off to a lot of gnarly project presentations. Good luck to all!

MuM's VAR business strong — own software, too
Mensch und Maschine Software, Autodesk's largest European reseller but also a software developer in its own right, just announced Q3 results that were, well, darned good. Revenue was up 14% year/year (y/y) to €32 million. Revenue from the company's own software was up 11% for the quarter to €8.6 million, while the VAR business contributed €23.7 million, up 16%.
MuM doesn't release many details on its proprietary software business but from investor presentations, we can infer that the business is about 80% CAM (Open Mind), which amounts to about 25% of the entire business' revenue.
As we would expect, the software business is by far the most profitable, contributing half of the company's gross margin even though it accounts for just over a quarter of total revenue. MuM says the software line typically has margins of 17% to 10%, with a target of 22%; the VAR business, in contrast, typically has margins of under 10%. No surprise, then, that MuM is investing in Open Mind, DATAflor (landscaping) and escad (building automation; licensed back from Autodesk).
MuM CEO Adi Drotleff, MuM CEO said in a prepared statement that the "positive business development during the first 9 months makes us confident that the ambitious targets for fiscal year 2014 should be achievable. So, from this actual point of view, sales are expected to be in the order of magnitude of €140 million (+11%). The Q4 sales target thus is €37 million (+14%)."
MuM represents a decent chunk of Autodesk's business in Europe. If Autodesk can grow across the board as rapidly as did MuM's VAR business, that would mean Autodesk, too, had a very good quarter. We'll know more when Autodesk reports sometime in late November.

Tracey Emin hearts Peninsula Hong Kong.
Wednesday, 21st May 2014
Source : The Peninsula Hong Kong
One of the most highly respected artists of her generation, Tracey Emin, supported by international contemporary art gallery White Cube, joins forces with one of the world's most celebrated hotels, to unveil a groundbreaking installation that takes the form of a unique moving image animation based on one of Emin's neon artworks.
The work, My Heart is with You Always, was on show on the facade of The Peninsula's famous Tower nightly, from 7:00 pm to 12:00 am, from 8 to 18 May, in the run up to the second Art Basel Hong Kong, from 15 to 18 May 2014.
One of the world's renowned contemporary artists, and a leading light of the YBAs (young British artists) Emin has created a moving image based on one of her famous neon artworks, featuring her signature handwritten style. My Heart is with You Always was visible from across Victoria Harbour, creating a focal point along the city's already dramatic skyline.
The project follows on from Emin's highly acclaimed I Promise to Love You 2013, which lit up the billboards of New York's Times Square, with digitally rendered neon Valentine's messages. Tracey Emin uses her life events as inspiration for works that reveal her hopes, fears, failures and successes.
The neon artwork which the artist has transformed into a moving animation, My Heart is with You Always, is a beautiful example of this, suggestive of the opening line of a poem or the sign-off of a love letter, rendered in bright red and pink neon.
