GSE Systems, Inc. (“GSE Solutions” or “GSE”), a leader in delivering and supporting end-to-end training, engineering, compliance, simulation, and workforce solutions to the power industry, today announced the sale of a five-year software subscription of its EnVision cloud-based simulator learning software to Shell for $1.65 million.
Shell has been a global user of GSE’s locally installed EnVision simulations and tutorials for refining system operations since 2005. This new agreement updates the customer to the software as a service (SaaS) platform providing Shell employees around the world with on-demand access to 60 generic process simulation models, nearly 30 tutorials in 5 different languages and the flexibility to do ad hoc training without the need to travel to a dedicated training center.

“At Shell we want our employees engaged in active and immersive experiences that result in aha learning moments. These are the moments where a learner gains significant intellectual or emotional insight through the experience of seeing cause and effect relationships and the impact of what-if process simulation scenarios,” said Brent Kedzierski, Head of Shell Learning Strategy and Innovation. “The transition to the EnVision SaaS platform enables simplified deployment and maintenance, as well as accelerated system enhancements and learning content updates. This represents another step Shell is taking to make more innovative learning and development solutions available to employees world-wide through virtual delivery.”
