Staying Connected

Shipbuilding is a unique industry, and the partners you work with need to understand that. Nexus allows users, clients, and developers of SSI solutions to share information. Access to an active community, a consistently updated knowledge base, hundreds of webinars and how-to videos, and a feature wishlist ensures that you have all the answers you need when you need them.


Growing With You

Whenever your organization grows, we want to help you succeed. One of the largest challenges in shipbuilding is onboarding. We’ve worked hard to make our SSI Learning curriculum the tool you need to ensure that everyone on your team is able to contribute to the project at hand quickly. Through a combination of self-guided lessons and certified training, you can guarantee that your entire organization is equipped with the skills needed.

Genoa Design International needed to be sure that every new designer was working from the same level of expertise. Using SSI Learning resources, Genoa improved their onboarding process, while simultaneously ensuring that work can continue on the projects at hand and be ready for future demand.

Read the Case Study

As the industry evolves, we continuously listen to our clients to evolve with them. Through a wish list on our community portal Nexus, we take suggestions on features that should be implemented in our solutions that are voted on by you. Each release, we make sure to include some of the most highly requested features.
