The partnership will leverage ImpactXoft's awarding-winning IXSPeeD(TM) technology with Version 5 of Dassault Systemes' 3D PLM portfolio to deliver and market innovative applications through 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. , DELMIA DELMIA Digital Enterprise Lean Manufacturing Interactive Application , ENOVIA, and SMARTEAM brands. Initial deliveries will target process-centric applications for the E&E, Consumer Goods consumer goods Any tangible commodity purchased by households to satisfy their wants and needs. Consumer goods may be durable or nondurable. Durable goods (e.g., autos, furniture, and appliances) have a significant life span, often defined as three years or more, and , and Industrial Machinery industries. Through this technology, engineers in these sectors will interact in language tailored to their industry and at a speed that will significantly accelerate the design process. "This alliance allows us to take our functional modeling and collaboration technology from the incubator stage to become part of a full enterprise solution," said Attilio Rimoldi, president and CEO (1) (Chief Executive Officer) The highest individual in command of an organization. Typically the president of the company, the CEO reports to the Chairman of the Board. , ImpactXoft. "We met with all the other players and not only was Dassault Systemes the only one who understood the value we could bring, but their V5 technology was the only way to leverage functional modeling and make it available across the entire PLM marketplace". "ImpactXoft has created a revolutionary technology for the 3D PLM sector and we immediately recognized the value that it could bring to our customers in the E&E, Consumer Goods and Machinery industries when delivered within our V5 solution portfolio," said Dominique Florack, executive vice president R&D, Dassault Systemes. "We are delighted to welcome the ImpactXoft team to the V5 ecosystem and are anxious to realize the potential of our alliance." "The combination of ImpactXoft's revolutionary functional modeling technology with Dassault Systemes' visionary portfolio of 3D PLM solutions represents the dawning of a new era in the PLM industry and sets a new standard for users seeking breakthrough collaborative innovation capabilities," said David Burdick, President of Collaborative Visions. Collaborative product design and functional modeling solutions will enable customers to improve productivity and innovation through faster iterations, design sharing, and simultaneous reconciliation. ImpactXoft and Dassault Systemes development will focus on: -- Collaborative design solutions permitting dispersed product teams to create, evaluate, and modify product definitions both asynchronously and synchronously -- Scalable solutions ranging from local teams to global networks and supply chains -- Process-oriented functional modeling applications that free designers from traditional CAD modeling techniques and allow them to focus on the true design intent About ImpactXoft ImpactXoft is a private, venture-funded software company introducing innovative applications that change the way people and companies develop products. The IX SPeeD(TM) Suite is an award-winning enterprise solution for Simultaneous Product Development(TM) (SPD (Serial Presence Detect) The method used by DIMM memory modules to communicate their capacity and features to the computer. Data such as manufacturer, size, speed, voltage and row and column addresses are stored in an EEPROM chip on the module. ), enabling all constituents involved in the product lifecycle to concurrently design, modify, evaluate, and produce quality products with unprecedented speed. Based on a web-centric architecture and proprietary technologies, IX SPeeD revolutionizes the way designs are created, shared, and ultimately manufactured, empowering companies to drastically reduce their time to market and gain a competitive edge. ImpactXoft has developed IX SPeeD Suite in partnership with Toyota Caelum Inc. leveraging the experience and know-how of both companies.
