Dassault Picks blueKiwi Web 2.0 Community Platform
PARIS,
France, Oct 6, 2009 – Dassault Systems (DS) (Euronext Paris: #13065, DSY.PA),
a world leader in 3D and Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) solutions, today
announced the successful deployment of blueKiwi business-to-business
community development platform, resulting in the offer DSX-Eco Pulse. This
innovative Web 2.0 platform will enable DS sales communities located
anywhere in the world to speed up knowledge sharing and improve their
performance by providing customers and partners in all industries with the
most up-to-date information, such as best practices, industry trends, case
studies and business processes.
DSX-Eco Pulse was initially rolled out internally in April 2009 and is
now being deployed to all knowledge communities worldwide. With this new Web
2.0 infrastructure for dedicated business communities, conversations between
experts are focused on critical business needs and the speed of interaction
is dramatically improved as compared to traditional office collaboration
tools. Dassault Systems Social Innovation solutions for content and
conversation centric social networking aim to expand its V6 collaborative
intelligence solutions. Further details on DS Social Innovation solutions
will be forthcoming in the following months.
“The development of global business, markets and supply chains has
created a new reality. No longer bound by time zones or geographic borders,
the ability to access and share real-time information in an online,
collaborative environment can be a serious game changer for our partners and
customers,” says Etienne Droit, executive vice president, PLM Value Selling,
Dassault Systems. “This is a new step in our channel development strategy.
Unlike traditional approaches to channel management, Dassault Systems is
promoting collaboration among partners through business communities to
deliver real time value to all of our customers and partners in the broader
global business environment.”
“Dassault Systems and Adaptive Corporation frequently evangelize the idea
of collaboration to our customers. This is what Product Lifecycle Management
is really about. With DSX-Eco Pulse Dassault Systems is not only talking the
talk but walking the walk,” says Frank Thomas, president, Adaptive
Corporation, DS’s 2008 Business Partner of the Year. “By embracing the power
of Web 2.0 and blueKiwi for Social Innovation, DS and its partners are
expediting collaboration, sharing experiences, and better assisting our
customers to ‘Emerge With Advantage.’”
"The speed of information dissemination, knowledge sharing and best
practices, are the keys to identify and win new markets. Making information
available to the wider Dassault Systems community to stimulate trade,
increase productivity and respond to new customer needs are concrete
examples of our Social Innovation approach,” declares Carlos Diaz, president
and CEO, blueKiwi Software, a Dassault Systems Social Innovation partner.
