Paris, France – November 3, 2003 – Dassault
Systèmes (Nasdaq: DASTY, Euronext Paris: #13065,
DSY.PA), Intel Corporation and IBM today announced
the delivery of an integrated wireless computing
platform. The offering equips CATIA V5 certified
IBM T40p Thinkpads with Intel Centrino mobile
technology* to give manufacturers the benefits of
wireless computing as they develop new products,
whether working in the office, on the shop floor,
or in the field while connected to a Hotspot.
The platform enables users of IBM Product
Lifecycle Management (PLM) solutions developed by
Dassault Systèmes to easily transport and share
digital engineering data from a variety of
Hotspots deployed in the world. Wireless mobility
combined with leading-edge CATIA V5 collaborative
product development software loaded on
high-performance Thinkpads from IBM gives PLM
users new freedom and flexibility and expands the
frontiers of e-collaboration. Complex product
information, including large-scale digital
mockups, can be loaded, developed, reviewed or
demonstrated across the digital enterprise.
“The manufacturing sector will benefit
immediately from Intel Centrino mobile
technology,” said Alain Nicolas, director V5
Enterprise Architecture, Dassault Systèmes.
“Digital mock up of products is permanently
available to any CATIA, ENOVIA and DELMIA V5 user
without constraints. In addition, Intel Centrino
mobile technology on IBM T40p notebooks not only
ensures power but also represents a breakthrough
in terms of autonomy and lightness.”
"Dassault Systèmes provides a truly innovative
solution to its manufacturing customers by
enabling the sharing of rich data,” said Dick
Bland, senior manager, worldwide manufacturing
solutions, Intel Corporation. “Through the use of
Intel Centrino mobile technology, companies such
as Dassault Systèmes will offer its manufacturing
customers an outstanding technology to ultimately
speed products to market."
“IBM Personal Computing Division’s objective is
to be the leader in the mobile workstation space
with products that meet specific industry needs,”
said Bob Galush, vice president, IBM PCD Product
Marketing. “Last year, working with IBM PLM, we
offered the market’s first “certified for CATIA”
notebook for mobile engineering. Today, we have
brought together the strengths of IBM PCD’s unique
ThinkVantage Technologies, supporting the world’s
leading collaborative product development
application, with Intel Centrino mobile technology
to deliver a powerful, wireless mobile engineering
solution. This combination will provide our
manufacturing customers with better performance
and extended battery life on a platform that
supports industry-standard and leading 3rd party
security solutions.” **
