Dassault Systemes To Integrate InSoft Realtime Collaboration And Videoconferencing Into Catia/Cadam Architecture.CHICAGO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Nov. 14, 1995--InSoft Inc. (Mechanicsburg, Pa., USA) and 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. (Paris, France) Tuesday announced a CAA Caa See CCC.

The OSD is used for contrast, brightness, horizontal and vertical positioning and other monitor adjustments. agreement. Under the agreement, Dassault Systemes will integrate components of InSoft's multimedia collaborative framework and Communique! desktop videoconferencing Using a PC or Mac for a videophone session or videoconference.

As a result, CATIA/CADAM customers and partners will be able to share, edit and modify design engineering drawings in real-time, as well as videoconference from desktop systems, with team members around the world. These productivity enhancements reduce overall time to market while improving design quality, and cut costs and time associated with travel. Bruno Latchague, vice-president, Modeling Technology, Dassault Systemes, commented: "By implementing our new multimedia collaboration features of CATIA/CADAM, our customers will recognize our commitment to simultaneous engineering and new ways to enable people to work together. Equally as important, InSoft's scalable software framework clearly addresses standards, interoperability and network integration requirements." Based on OpenDVE, InSoft's application development framework, Communique! is a feature-rich desktop collaboration and conferencing solution which integrates real-time video technology with fully interactive, easy-to-use document conferencing tools. OpenDVE enables seamless interoperability between supported Windows and UNIX UNIX Operating system for digital computers, developed by Ken Thompson of Bell Laboratories in 1969. It was initially designed for a single user (the name was a pun on the earlier operating system Multics). desktops, video compression standards and networks. CATIA/CADAM Application Architecture (CAA) provides industries with the software development tools, methods, standards and processes required to create seamlessly integrated applications based on the 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. open architecture. These industry specific software applications are based on object-oriented technology, and complement the CATIA/CADAM Solutions. The CAA partnership program creates tight development relationships with industry leading software developers. It is staged from: CAA Development partnership for CAA product integration; CAA Strategic Development partnerships with long term plan synergy; and, CAA OSD partnerships where the CAA partner acts as an extended laboratory to Dassault Systemes R&D organization. CATIA and CADAM A full-featured IBM mainframe CAD application, which includes 3D capability, solid modeling and numerical control. Originally developed by Lockheed for internal use, it was distributed by IBM starting in the late 1970s. In 1989, IBM purchased the Lockheed subsidiary, CADAM, Inc. are developed by Dassault Systemes and marketed and supported worldwide by IBM (International Business Machines Corporation, Armonk, NY, www.ibm.com) The world's largest computer company. IBM's product lines include the S/390 mainframes (zSeries), AS/400 midrange business systems (iSeries), RS/6000 workstations and servers (pSeries), Intel-based servers (xSeries) . This software leads the CAD/CAM/CAE marketplace with more than 7,000 customers and over 100,000 seats installed.
