Better training improves bottom line

World Port Development talks to two market leading simulation system manufacturers about how the global economic downturn has affected current or planned projects and reports on recent orders.

Paolo Paoletta, Sales Manager CMLAbs Simulation Inc told WPD that the economic downturn has affected nearly everyone in the industry and admits that CMLabs is no exception. "We have seen some customers put projects on hold indefinitely due to budget freezes, and many have still not opened up," says Paoletta. Clyde M Stauffer IV Senior Vice President, GlobalSim tells a similar story.
