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) 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 to Support Russian Shipbuilding Industry with Shipbuilding Solutions Incorporating Today's Most Comprehensive, Customizable and Collaborative e-business Solutions The State Marine Technical University of Saint-Petersburg, IBM 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. (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 the establishment of a joint Shipbuilding Competency Center, based on Product Lifecycle 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 ) technologies and practices. IBM PLM solutions, with core applications for product design, engineering and development from Dassault Systemes, help manufacturers of all types innovate, improve quality, and reduce both costs and product development times. They also enable them to collaborate internally, across geographic boundaries and with suppliers. The main direction of activity of the Shipbuilding Competency Center is implementation of up-to-date IT solutions to support the Russian shipbuilding industry Noun 1. shipbuilding industry - an industry that builds ships industry - the people or companies engaged in a particular kind of commercial enterprise; "each industry has its own trade publications" shipbuilder - a business that builds and repairs ships . At the core of the partnership, SMTU, IBM and Dassault Systemes will use the Shipbuilding Competency center to significantly expand use of PLM Shipbuilding solutions, including 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 product-development and data-management applications. These solutions are rapidly becoming a worldwide standard in the shipbuilding industry. The State Marine Technical University of Saint-Petersburg has extensive experience using world class IT solutions. In 2001, SMTU established the Information Technology Institute to provide training for engineers in the field of IT technology. The Institute has special programs to develop professional skills for specialists in the shipbuilding industry. "Today, the Russian shipbuilding industry has a unique opportunity to start the process of large-scale implementation of leading product development solutions from IBM and Dassault Systemes simultaneously with world's leading foreign shipbuilding companies that already use this technology. It will allow Russia to do away with its technology lag and to occupy a leading position in IT solutions in the world's shipbuilding market. Establishing the PLM Shipbuilding Competency Center will provide the Russian shipbuilding industry with comprehensive support of this process," said ITI (Information Technology Industry Council, Washington, DC, www.itic.org) Formerly the Computer and Business Equipment Manufacturers Association (CBEMA), founded in 1916. ITI is a membership organization composed of approximately 30 large high-tech companies. Director, assistant professor of SMTU, Dr Alexey Lipis. Francis Bernard Sir Francis Bernard, 1st Baronet (1712-16 June 1779) was a British colonial administrator who served as Governor in New Jersey and Massachusetts. Francis was born in Brightwell, Oxfordshire, England to the Rev. Francis and Margery Bernard and was christened on July 12, 1712. , a Founder of Dassault Systemes and Dassault Systemes Shipbuilding Domain Leader, said: "There are 1 million parts in a nuclear submarine and over 10 Millions parts in an aircraft carrier. In comparison, there are only 100,000 parts in a commercial jet and less than 10,000 parts in an automobile. Powerful tools are needed to manage the immense design data used in the shipbuilding industry and the opportunities to streamline development are quite compelling to these companies. At Dassault Systemes, we work with top educational institutions and customers to develop new technologies to make shipbuilders more innovative and competitive." The center, strategically located in St Petersburg, near the heart of Russia's shipbuilding industry, will be a showcase of IBM PLM Shipbuilding Solutions and services, designed to meet the needs of the entire shipbuilding industry. "This center will insure industry-specific competency of PLM solutions, focusing exclusively on shipbuilding technologies. Our goal is to build a support facility to accompany shipbuilding customers from Eastern Europe Eastern Europe The countries of eastern Europe, especially those that were allied with the USSR in the Warsaw Pact, which was established in 1955 and dissolved in 1991. through their e-collaboration projects," explained Ed Petrozelli, General Manager, IBM Product Lifecycle Management. "This agreement represents a new emphasis of IBM's engagement in the shipbuilding industry. With partners such as the SMTU, IBM endeavors to provide optimal support of the whole shipbuilding industry in the area of Product Lifecycle Management for the continuous development and enhancement of industry-specific modules required by shipbuilders today." The IBM Shipbuilding Solution is a suite of productivity tools and support services support services Psychology Non-health care-related ancillary services–eg, transportation, financial aid, support groups, homemaker services, respite services, and other services . Developed by Dassault Systemes, a partner with IBM in providing shipbuilders with state-of-the-art CAD/CAM CAD/CAM in full computer-aided design/computer-aided manufacturing. Integration of design and manufacturing into a system under direct control of digital computers. solutions, IBM Shipbuilding Solutions combine capabilities found in CATIA Versions 4 and 5, ENOVIA Portfolio Solutions, DELMIA and other solutions all unified into a single system. These applications help companies become more competitive by reducing their development costs and time-to-market. Used by designers, engineers, manufacturing specialists and yard operators, IBM Shipbuilding Solutions facilitate and automate critical product development steps--from concept, hull surfacing and fairing, through outfitting, production and commissioning. In addition, the IBM PLM Solutions Shipbuilding Competency Centers provides global support for customers, including consulting services Noun 1. consulting service - service provided by a professional advisor (e.g., a lawyer or doctor or CPA etc.) service - work done by one person or group that benefits another; "budget separately for goods and services" on the business, best practices and management of CAD/CAM/CAE implementation.
