Dassault Systemes Announces Spatial Now A Key Component of the 3D PLM Strategy.Business & Technology Editors SURESNES, France--(BUSINESS WIRE)--May 30, 2002 Spatial Becomes the Primary Channel for CAA Caa See CCC. V5 to Software Development Companies Dassault Systemes Dassault Systemes (Dassault Systèmes S.A.) (Pronounced - Dasoh) (NASDAQ: DASTY; Euronext: 13065) is a leading company specializing in 3D and PLM (Product Lifecycle Management) software. (Nasdaq : DASTY ; Euronext Paris Euronext Paris is France's securities market, formerly known as the Paris Bourse, which merged with the Amsterdam and Brussels exchanges in September 2000 to form Euronext NV, which is the second largest exchange in Europe behind the London Stock Exchange. : #13065, DSY DSY Drum Storage Yard .PA) today announced that Spatial Corp Spatial Corporation was founded in 1986, and had one main product: ACIS, the first commercially available 3D modeling kernel. Through subsequent years, Spatial added products to its portfolio that enabled ISVs mostly in the CAD/CAM industries, to build applications. . (Spatial), a Dassault Systemes' company, is now the primary channel for sales and marketing of V5 Component Application Architecture (CAA) to software developers. This announcement confirms Spatial's key role in Dassault Systemes' 3D Product Lifecycle Product lifecycle or product life cycle is the course of a product's sales and profits over time. The five stages of each product lifecycle are product development, introduction, growth, maturity and decline. Management (PLM (Product Life cycle Management) A comprehensive information system that coordinates all aspects of a product from initial concept to its eventual retirement. Sometimes called the "digital backbone" of a product, it includes the requirements phase, analysis and design ) strategy. Dassault Systemes acquired Spatial in November of 2000 and the current announcement is a natural evolution of the unit's activities as a world-class provider of 3D components. To enable Spatial to deliver strong expertise in software development, Dassault Systemes put in place a world-class executive management team which implemented reliable processes, quality initiatives and V5 technologies. In less than 16 months Spatial achieved the goals set by Dassault Systemes, including delivering releases, which have been applauded by customers as the "best ever", and working to implement industry-supported initiatives such as OpenHSF. Now, Spatial is extending its mission and its existing component solutions to address the 3D PLM market with the addition of CAA V5 and the open architecture components for CATIA A family of 2D and 3D CAD programs from IBM. CATIA was one of the first CAD programs to provide 3D solid modeling. The program was developed by Dassault Systems, a French aerospace company. , ENOVIA, and DELMIA DELMIA Digital Enterprise Lean Manufacturing Interactive Application . CAA V5 is middleware which enables software developers to rapidly develop state-of-the-art V5 applications, integrated within multiple enterprise environments and complementing Dassault Systemes' 3D PLM solutions. 3D PLM enables customers to optimize their business Processes for Engineering, Manufacturing, Maintenance and Support using Collaborative Workspaces to share a common product, process and resource (PPR PPR peste des petitis ruminants. ) model. CAA V5 demonstrates its market leadership through its ability to support large-scale development, putting it a step ahead of the competition. Today CAA V5 is leveraged by more than 1,800 engineers in 18 countries throughout Dassault Systemes' Extended Enterprise, including Independent Software Developers and leaders in the manufacturing industry. Leading software developers have already delivered full suites of CAA V5 3D PLM solutions to the market. This widespread use of CAA makes V5 the middleware benchmark for 3D PLM. "Spatial is the primary sales and marketing channel for CAA V5 to Software Development Companies because it makes sense," said Mike Payne, Chief Executive Officer, Spatial. "When Dassault Systemes acquired Spatial the intention was to utilize Spatial as a distribution point for development technologies, which they are doing. The advantage for the entire market is that this will accelerate the development of value-add third-party applications based on the CAA V5 platform." Bruno Latchague, Executive Vice President of Research and Development, Dassault Systemes, said: "Mike Payne is a recognized pioneer in the development of 3D applications, having served in leadership roles at both PTC (PTC, Needham, MA, www.ptc.com) Long a world leader in mechanical computer-aided design, manufacturing and engineering software, PTC, through acquisitions and reorganization, has transformed itself into a leading provider of Internet-based B2B solutions for discrete manufacturers. and SolidWorks. As Dassault Systemes Chief Technology Officer, Mike Payne was appointed to develop Spatial into a major force in Dassault Systemes' 3D PLM strategy. This announcement is confirmation of his accomplishment at Spatial and recognition of Dassault Systemes' commitment to the proliferation of CAA V5."
