| Houston, Texas, and Paris, France
- January 20, 2004 – Dassault Systèmes (Nasdaq:
DASTY; Euronext Paris: #13065, DSY.PA) announced today
that it will showcase its PLM (Product Lifecycle Management)
solutions for the Process, Power and Petroleum (PP&P)
industries at the DaratechPlant2005 conference in
Houston, Texas, January 24-26. Dassault Systèmes’
Version 5 (V5) PLM solution is comprised of CATIA,
for collaborative product development and plant engineering;
ENOVIA and SMARTEAM for product data and asset lifecycle
management, collaboration, and decision support; and
DELMIA for digital development of fabrication, construction
simulations and maintenance processes. The fully integrated
V5 PLM solution enables companies to create, simulate,
operate and service complex systems found in the PP&P
and marine industries. PLM is an evolution toward
an integrated solution and beyond today’s traditional
plant design and point solution offerings.
Through an alliance with Microsoft Corporation,
the V5 PLM solution will also harness the revolutionary
power of XML technology, further extending the availability
of V5 PLM as an easy-to-use 3D global collaborative
workspace.
V5 PLM enables owner-operators and engineering
companies in the PP&P industries to transform and
optimize their business processes and organizations.
Benefits reported by users include significant improvements
in schedule performance and a reduction in the cost
of change-process execution. Further, V5 PLM enables
universal sharing and extensive reuse of information.
Those capabilities provide rapid design collaboration
through all phases of a project lifecycle, enhancing
project performance and leading to innovative real-time
operations.
"We will be able to collaborate better with partners
and resolve potential problems in projects more quickly
and effectively using PLM applications," said Jean-Paul
Rigg, manager, Production Engineering at the Equipment
Division of Hydro-Québec, an adopter of CATIA V5 and
SMARTEAM. "PLM technology from Dassault Systèmes will
enable us to meet shorter deadlines, reach our quality,
design and development goals and manage our costs."
"The Process, Power, and Petroleum industry is
the newest sector to experience the business transformation
that V5 PLM makes possible," said Etienne Droit, executive
vice president, Sales and Services, Dassault Systèmes.
"As with companies in the shipbuilding and aerospace
industries before them, companies in the PP&P industries
will benefit from the collaborative design capabilities
of these powerful tools, which will enable them to
focus on innovation and optimization of their design,
manufacturing, and maintenance processes."
RAND North America, a Dassault Systèmes sales partner,
will also participate in the Daratech event.
