GCS has developed an innovative means to provide computer equipment and software at the beginning of vessel construction and, at the same time, offer the most advanced systems available when the Yacht is commissioned, many months or even years later. The GCS Paradigm Server™, a scaled down version of the final on-board server, may be leased from GCS during yacht construction.

GCS will install the server in an office at the shipyard or on the vessel, along with the complete package of GCS software. GCS will provide training for all software, as needed, and captain and crew can become skilled system users before the boat even hits the water. Extensive correspondence is maintained between the Paradigm Server and our remote servers to minimize costs due to failure or loss of data.

Problems are solved on-site as the need arises, again reducing costs and time lost by working with the Captain and Project Manager. When the vessel is near completion, the extensive pre-planning and use of the Paradigm Server allows an effortless transfer of data to the new or refitted vessel. No time is lost in familiarizing the ship’s personnel with the information system, for all development and training will have occurred during the build.

The final system will not be ordered until three to six months prior to commissioning, providing the greatest possible value and the latest technology. Upon installation of the final system, the software and data are simply migrated from the Paradigm Server.
