Seoul, Korea and Paris, France - April
01, 2004 - IBM and Dassault Systèmes (Nasdaq:
DASTY, Euronext Paris: #13065, DSY.PA) announced today
that Vehicle Engineering and Solutions, Korea (V-ENS),
a subsidiary of LG CNS, a leading Korean IT engineering
services provider, is showcasing their Product Lifecycle
Management (PLM) Solutions at its recently inaugurated
Engineering & Product Development Center. The center is
open to the public and shows how PLM technology improves
the end-to-end automotive development process.
V-ENS chose the collaborative product development platform
to acquire a competitive advantage by combining PLM Solutions
from IBM and Dassault Systèmes with its automotive engineering
service capabilities. Through demonstrations of CATIA
V5, SMARTEAM and DELMIA at the center, V-ENS clients and
visitors see first hand how combining PLM and engineering
services helps the company to deliver innovative, high-quality
services to the automotive industry.
V-ENS is a leading engineering service provider in the
automotive industry. Its new growth strategy focuses on
automotive-related projects, both in Korea and abroad.
Since PLM Solutions from IBM and Dassault Systèmes are
the standard for vehicle development worldwide, V-ENS’
investment in PLM has helped the company win new contracts,
including compact car development for Proton, Malaysia’s
national automaker. To capitalize on its growing success,
V-ENS plans to extend its engineering services based on
the new PLM platform to other industries.
“We can achieve our objective to become a leading global
engineering service provider by combining our strong IT
engineering service capabilities with world-leading PLM
technologies from IBM and Dassault Systèmes,” said WanSik
Yoon, president, V-ENS. “Our Engineering & Product Development
Centre is a testimonial to the strategic partnership we
have with the two companies, and demonstrates how automakers
can become more competitive by improving collaboration
between engineering and manufacturing.”
“V-ENS is using IBM PLM Solutions to develop new processes
for streamlined product development,” said Raoul Van Engelshoven,
vice president Product Lifecycle Management, IBM Asia
Pacific. “Many global automakers are achieving success
using IBM PLM Solutions and we can contribute to V-ENS’
growing leadership in the automotive engineering service
business. We will also help V-ENS expand into other industrial
domains by supporting their global engineering innovation
center.”
“With CATIA V5, SMARTEAM and DELMIA, V-ENS can leverage
its engineering services capabilities to their full extent
by simulating, integrating and optimizing all aspects
of automotive development to manufacturing,” said Christian
Nardin, Managing Director, Dassault Systèmes Asia. “Not
only does this enable V-ENS to cut costs and development
time for its customers, but it also allows the company
to improve designs and processes early on in the development
cycle and share knowledge with its customers in a common
3D collaborative work space.”
