Dassault Systèmes Seminar Series to Focus on Building Collaboration Among Engineering, IT and Manufacturing for Better Product Design
Dassault Systèmes (DS) announced a four-city North American seminar series on unifying engineering, IT and manufacturing into collaborative environments that yield innovative, high-quality products and shorter time to market.
The four seminars will instruct companies of any size how to use PLM processes to overcome collaboration barriers when product development teams use several different computer-aided design (CAD) applications. The seminars will feature DS customers, including Tesla Motors and Novabus, speaking on their experiences managing multi-CAD environments. Senior DS executives will describe the company's approach to the issue, in particular the ENOVIA SmarTeam product line and how customers are leveraging its multi-CAD capabilities.
The seminars are tailored toward product development IT, engineering, manufacturing, operations and management professionals in any industry. They will begin on Oct. 30 in Montreal and continue in Toronto on Nov. 1; Santa Clara, Calif., on Nov. 13; and Reston, Va., on Nov. 14.
"Most companies use at least two CAD solutions because in the early days of CAD it was common for departments to make independent buying decisions," said Kendall Pond, vice president, business development, Dassault Systèmes. "Those incumbent CAD systems house a lot of value and knowledge. With market dynamics rewarding companies that move quickly to develop and manufacture new products, companies have to find a way to make different teams using those various systems work as a unified whole."
