PLM Business

Dassault Systèmes’ Strategic Initiative

Dassault Systèmes’ intuitive 3D approach to Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) help companies achieve high levels of innovative, quality, cost reduction and time-to-market advances that increase revenue while reducing operational costs.

DS PLM Solutions provide a global environment to author and manage digital product knowledge, from initial concept through engineering, prototype simulation, manufacturing, service and support, and product retirement. The power of 3D visualization eliminates the need to build and test costly prototypes, resulting in substantial time and cost savings for our customers.

3D visualization and the flexibility of digital content ensure all information and processes - from design through marketing to maintenance and recycling - can be shared and reused in the pursuit of developing an optimum product.

PLM Market Trend

The PLM market is the fastest growing enterprise software category in the mid-market – estimated to be a $20 billion USD market (CIMdata). By 2011, the PLM market will reach an estimated $35 billion USD (CIMdata).

The role of the VAR is becoming increasingly critical to the effective expansion and development of the PLM market...
