Sumiyoshi Shukuri, solution executive, IBM Engineering Solutions Asia Pacific, commented, "With the addition of CSC's channel, we strengthen our sales and marketing power for CATIA Version 5. CSC, Dassault Systemes and IBM share a single objective: making CATIA V5 the standard to combine 2D and 3D CAD/CAM in Japan and Asia. With its wealth of experience and expertise in serving customers in this growing market, CSC will quickly become a key IBM Business Partner in helping us reach this goal." Said Etienne Droit [French, Justice, right, law.] A term denoting the abstract concept of law or a right. Droit is as variable a phrase as the English right or the Latin jus.
